Honest Trailers Does 'The Social Network': 'The World's Smartest Film About the World's Dullest Premise'

Screen Junkies is back with another installment in its Honest Trailers series, and this time, "The Social Network" is in the hot seat.

The people behind the film don't have to worry, though: The video has mostly complimentary feedback. Even though the narrator says the Aaron Sorkin-penned biopic has "the world's dullest premise," the reviews are pretty glowing. Sorkin gets praise for making "boring litigation exciting," to the point that the narrators even calls for another Facebook movie.

Of course, there was some criticism as well. Namely, in regard to the film's accuracy -- or lack thereof.

"If you want to know the real story behind Facebook, watch something else, because they're bending the truth harder than the news your uncle posts on his wall," we hear.

We're reminded of the artistic license taken, from Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) looking like an "awkward scowling robot" to his ex-girlfriend who supposedly inspired the site being completely made-up.
