I thought the film did a great job of making Saverin very sympathetic as a character, while also making the reason for him being pushed out very understandable.

You really like the guy, but the movie makes it clear that he has no idea what's really happening. - The Florida LLC. - The Gary's Tuxedo ads - He doesn't know how to update his own relationship status. - He never really appears to do anything CFO-like other than write a few checks. The important stuff was all being done by the devs. In the film, Saverin wanted to be somebody while Zuckerberg wanted to make something. That's why he had to be shown the door.
