Aren't you forgetting Scott Pilgrim vs the World (for Cera)?
I WISH I could forget that abortion!

I think Eisenberg is terrific, and it's a shame that he was (and to some extent, still is) type-caste in the same type of roles as Cera was.
I haven't watched "The Social Network", but Eisenberg was really good in "Adventureland". Comparing Cera to Eisenberg is like comparing Orlando Bloom to Sir Laurence Olivier. Yeah, there are some superficial similarities, but one can act and the other cannot.
