The Social Network was just a Saturday night movie (that's the kind of movie where you get to Saturday night, and your significant other says "what do you want to do tonight?" and you say "I dunno, I guess let's go to a movie, what's playing?".

It was one step above the "Hey look what's on the shelves at Blockbuster! Oh yeah, I forgot to go see that movie when it was in the theaters".
It was not an Oscar worthy movie (that is two steps up from the Saturday night movie category). There were no amazing performances, nothing groundbreaking in production, nothing memorable in story. About the only thing memorable for me on Sunday morning (after the Saturday night movie) was Eisenberg's line about the other attorney getting the minimal amount of his attention.
