The first reviews are in and it sounds like the Hollywood movie about Facebook's founding is destined to be a bit.

The film tells the story of how 20-year-old Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) was contracted by three fellow Harvard students to create an online version of the university's "facebook" (yearbook).

Egged on by "older" entrepreneur Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), Mr Zuckerberg goes on to take the concept to the entire US, then the world - eclipsing Rupert Murdoch on the Forbes Rich List in the process.

Watch the trailer above (warning: lame cover of Radiohead's "Creep", complete with sanitised lyrics, may offend); and check out The New York Times review of reviews here.
