In 2003, Harvard University student Mark Zuckerberg gets the idea to create a website to rate the attractiveness of female Harvard undergraduates after his girlfriend Erica Albright breaks up with him. Mark hacks into the databases of various residence halls and downloads pictures and names. Using an algorithm supplied by his best friend Eduardo Saverin, Mark creates a page called "FaceMash", where male students choose which of two girls is more attractive.
Mark is punished with six months of academic probation after the traffic to the site crashes parts of Harvard's network, and becomes vilified among most of Harvard's female community. However, the popularity of "FaceMash" and the fact that he created it in one night, while drunk, brings him to the attention of Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, identical twins and members of Harvard's rowing team, and their business partner Divya Narendra. As a result, he gains a job working for the Winklevoss twins as the programmer of the website, Harvard Connection.
Soon afterwards, Mark approaches his friend Eduardo, who has recently been invited to pledge the Phoenix S-K final club. Mark has an idea for what he calls "Thefacebook", an online social networking tool exclusive to Harvard University students, where people can display personal information. He explains this lets people share certain information without the invasion of privacy. Eduardo agrees to help Mark, providing a thousand dollars to help start the site. Mark and Eduardo eventually launch Facebook, distributing the link to Eduardo's connections at the Phoenix S-K. The site quickly becomes popular throughout the student body. When Divya learns about the launch of Thefacebook, he tells the Winklevoss twins that Mark stole their idea; Cameron and Divya want to sue Mark for intellectual property theft, but Tyler votes against it.
At a lecture by Bill Gates, fellow Harvard University student Christy Lee introduces herself and her best friend Alice to Eduardo and Mark. She asks that the boys "Facebook us", which impresses both of them. She also invites the boys to drinks at a bar, at the bar Christy and Eduardo have sex in the bar's public open toilet, Mark also has sex with Christy's friend at the bar. During drinks with Christy and Alice, Mark runs into his ex-girlfriend, who is not aware of The Facebook's existence. Mark decides to expand the site to more schools. Christy, Mark, and Eduardo later return to Mark's room where they outline the structure of the company and their plan for moving forward.
As The Facebook grows in popularity, they expand to other schools in the Northeastern United States, initially Yale and Columbia, and Stanford as well, while the Winklevoss twins and Narendra become angrier at seeing "their idea" advance without them. Tyler refuses to sue them, instead accusing Mark of violating the Harvard student Code of Conduct. Through their father's connections they arrange a meeting with Harvard President Larry Summers, who is dismissive and sees no potential value in either a disciplinary action or in Thefacebook website itself.
Through Christy Lee, now Eduardo's girlfriend, Eduardo and Mark arrange a meeting with Napster co-founder Sean Parker. When Christy, Mark and Eduardo meet Parker, Eduardo becomes skeptical of Parker, noting his problematic personal and professional history. Mark, however, is impressed with Parker since he presented a similar vision of Facebook. Although no deals are reached, Parker suggests that they drop "The" from Thefacebook to make it simply "Facebook".
While Eduardo remains in New York for advertising support, Mark and Dustin Moskovitz move the company's base of operation to Palo Alto. When Eduardo visits from New York, he is angered that Sean Parker is living at the house and making business decisions for Facebook. After an argument with Mark, Eduardo freezes the bank account which he had set up for the company and returns to New York. Upon returning to New York, Christy and Eduardo get into an argument regarding his Facebook profile, which still lists him as "single". Christy accuses Eduardo of cheating on her citing his profile as evidence. Due to her anger and frustration, Christy tries to set fire to Eduardo's room by burning a scarf he gave her as a gift, however does not want to end her relationship with Eduardo. As a result of Christy's pyromaniac tendency, Eduardo ends his romantic relationship with Christy. While Eduardo extinguishes the fire Christy creates, Mark reveals they have secured money from an angel investor.
In England, the Winklevoss twins become outraged that Facebook has expanded to universities in the United Kingdom and decide to sue Facebook. Meanwhile Eduardo learns that Mark and Sean have reduced his share of the company from a third to less than one tenth of one percent and decides to sue as well. At a party to celebrate the one millionth member of Facebook, Sean and several Facebook interns are arrested for possession of cocaine.
The framing device throughout the film shows Mark testifying in depositions in two lawsuits: one filed by the Winklevoss twins, and the other filed by Eduardo. In the final scene, a junior lawyer for the defense informs Mark they will be settling with Eduardo, since the sordid details of Facebook's founding and Mark's personality will make a jury highly unsympathetic. The film ends with Mark sending a friend request to his former girlfriend Erica on Facebook, and then refreshing the page every few seconds waiting for a response.
Detectives Danson (Dwayne Johnson) and Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) are pursuing a group of criminals in a Cadillac Escalade. After a brief firefight that results in the hood of Highsmith's Chevy Chevelle getting blown into the windshield, the two inadvertently crash into the side of a double decker bus. Danson drives it after the criminals and meticulously slingshots the trapped car out the other side of the bus (with Highsmith firing the whole time) and crashing into the Trump Tower, inexplicably surviving. The criminals manage to get away, until police backup quickly arrives and arrests them.
Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell), is a forensic accountant who is more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets, but idolizes Danson and Highsmith. Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) has been stuck with Allen as his partner for the past seven years ever since he shot Derek Jeter during the World Series. Allen and Hoitz receive no respect from the other officers, who trick Allen into firing his gun in the office (a "desk pop"), leaving him with a wooden practice gun as punishment. During a pursuit of a group of professional bank robbers, Danson and Highsmith die when they jump off a 20-story building into the sidewalk, inexplicably agreeing to aim for bushes that aren't there.
When an opportunity arises for Terry and Allen (the "other guys") to step up, things do not quite go as planned. Allen begins to investigate a scaffolding permit violation and winds up uncovering a much bigger plot by multi-billionaire David Ershon to cover his company's losses. As things get worse, Allen and Terry are forced to split up. Allen still tries to solve the crime on his own, even though Terry thinks it is a dead end. He finally gets credible evidence and earns his gun back. Allen finally convinces Terry to rejoin him. They stop the criminals who are trying to scam the money that initially Allen believes the $32 billion Ershon seeks will come from the New York Lottery Office, but he discovers it will really come from the New York Police retirement fund. Both officers end up getting shot (Terry taking one in the knee and Allen taking one in the shoulder.) The police finally come, rescue the two and arrest Ershon and Wesley. The two believe that the true heroes are the ones who make the world a better place, not the ones who appear in the newspaper or on TV. Ershon's arrest leads to a stock market crash and a subsequent federal bailout. The film ends with a peacock flying by the screen in reference to Terry's remarks that he "is a peacock you gotta let me fly" as Terry and Allen drive off.

A romantic comedy centered on a guy and a gal who try to keep their love alive as they shuttle back and forth between New York and San Francisco to see one another.

Kassie Singleton (Jennifer Aniston) decides she wants to have a baby. Despite the objections of her neurotic best friend Wally (Jason Bateman), she chooses to do it alone, with the services of handsome and charming sperm donor Roland (Patrick Wilson). Wally has always had feelings for Kassie, but as his friend (Jeff Goldblum) points out, he missed his chance and she put him in the "friend zone". But things don't go to plan, as Wally gets so drunk at Kassie's "insemination party" that he accidentally spills Roland's semen and replaces it with his own. Seven years later, Kassie returns to New York along with precocious-but-neurotic son Sebastian (Thomas Robinson). Wally forms a bond with this loveable mini-version of himself, but the bad news is that Roland is in the picture too.

Movie Review:
This is the first time that I would write a movie review for a filipino film. I consider this one a highlight for Filipino movie industry because two of the box office queens united for a family oriented movie. But, this movie has a lot of floss. The casting was good but the director and staff themselves ruined the movie. It was rushed. If it was not Judy ann and sarah who did this movie, i'm sure that this movie would flop. As of today, it earned more than 80 million and it is quite surprising because of how this movie made. There are alot of product endorsement for sarah geronimo which made the movie more awkward. I will give Judy ann 4 out of 5 star for Sarah and juday because they did great. If it was Cathy Molina who directed it, it would have been better. Agree???
