Entourage Movie Review

Entourage Movie Review: I didn't really watch Entourage when it came out but have come to appreciate it as more of a Hollywood parody-comedy since watching reruns and renting the DVDs. The best parts of the movie, as with the TV series, are the writing, banter between the main characters and cameos by the likes of Gary Busey. There are some funny and witty lines in it that made me laugh out loud if you can stand the endless array of adoration by desperate fans - we get it, women like movie stars, no matter how bad the movies are - and predictable plot twists.

I first viewed 'Entourage' before ever seeing an episode of the TV Series and followed it well enough to form the opinion that it was a middle of the road movie. After watching the entire series I found myself realizing the movie was warranted a re-watch. This time around it was better to understand and as result, the jokes/references made were funnier and just as well timed as featured throughout the duration of the series. The biggest mistake the film makes is simply by overusing unnecessary cameo's, most which felt more like an interruption rather than a comedic moment. Regardless of that fact, the film stays true to the series and perhaps provides a more fitting end to the story than it originally got.

The Final Swan Song Delves No Deeper Than What You Might Expect, The Cameos With Winks & Nods To The Silliness Of Tinseltown Add Onto The Groundbreaking Series But Don't Explore Anything New Other Than Babies & Marriage. Ari Gold Is The Regular Scene Stealer, Without His Manic Craziness, It Would All Be A Bit Boring. Still, It Is A a Feel-Good Thing, Like Hanging Out With Old Friends, Watching Them Finally Get Somewhere. Albeit Very Quickly & Easily. But, Had It Come Across All-Too Serious, Then It'd Lose It's Way & Fall Out Of Fan Favour. Enjoy It On Those Simple Terms & (Like I Was) You Won't Be Disappointed. Hopefully, It Is Left Here, On A Good Note.

The wife and I had followed the series on television and were naturally curious to see how the film turned out. The series had sort of rushed the ending a bit to try and pair everyone off or give them some sort of happy ending, with all of their dreams fulfilled, and then this movie seems to gut that idea in about 20 minutes, undoing virtually all the relationships and everyone is single and free to chase pussy again for another 'episode', which made this feel like less of a film and more like a longer installment of the TV show, which is fairly pointless.

So basically if you liked the TV show, you'll probably like this well enough, just don't expect anything all that new. After reading many user & critic reviews I have to ask why would anyone watch this having never seen a single episode of the show? This was clearly meant for fans who know the characters. Having said that, I was a big fan of the first several seasons, not so much the last couple. Overall I enjoyed the movie though. They basically fit an entire season into 105 minutes, which made for almost zero slow parts. The script isn't mind-blowing, but it's fun and that's what Entourage is all about. Was never a big E or Turtle fan and the continues. Drama and Ari were always my favorite characters and they definitely have the best scenes. Billy Bob & Hailey Joel Osment had some scenes as well. Some great cameos (Ed O'Neil, Kelsey Grammer) and some really lame one's (I canonesand Ronda Rousey). Hope they make more movies.
