Neither Facebook founder, Zuckerberg, nor his close associates cooperated with the film, except for providing some biographical background on Zuckerberg.

As a movie based on social networking site Facebook readies to hit the theatres next week, company officials are bracing for the film that casts its founder as a "scheming backstabber accused of stealing the idea for Facebook."

It is an "unflattering portrait focusing on the legal clashes between Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his Harvard classmates over who should get credit for the social networking phenomenon," a report in the Los Angeles Times said.

there was a book written about it years ago...

He was supposed to have stolen the idea from twin brothers that asked him to assist with making a social networking site.... he took their ideas and made Facebook...

Zuckerberg did steal the idea so I don't think there are any surprises there.

I think it shows in the movie that Mark Zuckerberg won the case.
