Hump Day Happy Hour

A star-studded cast, big-name director and stellar script combine to create movie magic in The Social Network, a film about Facebook's founding father, Mark Zuckerberg. Premiering Friday, this drama-packed story follows the sometimes heartfelt, often heartbreaking road Zuckerberg took to become the world's youngest billionaire.

You can prepare to watch this bittersweet story early with a bittersweet drink: “My Italian Boyfriend,” created for Glo by bartender Tina Braunstein. Post the recipe on your Facebook wall to share a Social Network cocktail with your own social network.

Whether the film lives up to the hype or not, we think seeing Justin Timberlake back on the big screen is reason enough to celebrate.
