I didn't see the movie. I was there in the early 70s. I think they're much nastier now. My sister-in-law graduated from Harvard in 2006 and knew some of the FB guys. They were a pretty common type, but she, her now-husband, and her friends are all wonderful and talented people. So there's a boatload of pricks, but also a nice minority of non-pricks.
