it is basically their side of the story, with the only real information provided by Zuckerberg found online, i.e the blog he is writing while making the facemash website at the start of the movie is taken from his actual blog online. The only thing changed is the girls name.
It tries to give Zuckerberg motive for why he did these things, I won't say what in case people haven't seen it but its obvious in the movie, and the motivation makes him look jealous and petty
Parker isn't made to look very good as well, although Saverin is made to look like a bit of a fool he definitely comes off "best" of all the people involved in the creating of facebook. Which considering he helped the writer who wrote the book the movie is based off makes sense.
It made for a great story and an entertaining movie but there is definitely a slant to it.
