Entourage
Entourage:The Moviearrives in theaters offering too little, way too late, for anyone but the die-hard fans to enjoy it.
Entouragethe picture show picks up a few beat after the series finale of the HBO TV series , and detect Vincent Chase ( Adrian Grenier ) arouse up to married life with his beautiful diary keeper married woman , only to discover that ( D’Oh ! ) he ’d rather go back to being good ol' free - lovin' bachelor , Vinny Chase . In the blink of an centre , Eric ( Kevin Connolly ) , Turtle ( Jerry Ferrara ) , and Johnny ( Kevin Dillon ) have all given up their respective responsibilities , and are back into the entourage modus vivendi of Vince ’s lavish stardom .
However , things take a number when Vince and the son use Ari ’s new view as head of Warner Bros. to greenlight a sci - fi picture call " Hyde " , a film that stars Vince and is orchestrate by … Vince . shortly the budget is ballooning , place Ari and the boys ' career on the line . And when the moneyman ’s bratty son ( Haley Joel Osment ) gets caught up in the LA life , business enterprise turns all too personal , leaving " Hyde " ( and the guys ) totter on the brink of ruin .
Truth be told , Entourage : The Moviearrives in theater of operations offering too little , way of life too deep , for anyone but the die - hard fans to enjoy it . This extra - large episode of the series is for the fans and only them , offer a lot of pleasant familiarity but very petty new intrigue about the characters , the industry , or the franchise itself .
serial creator ( and film author / conductor ) Doug Ellin ( along with serial cobalt - writer Rob Weiss ) decides to place theEntouragefilm in an anachronistic house of cards , wherein mere month have passed for the characters , but all of the obvious advancements in engineering , manner , and the motion-picture show industry still show up onscreen . Even the premise seems pretty outdated ( Ari fund a $ 100 million+ original sci - fi film property for Vince ) given that we ’re living in an era where partake universe franchise reasonably much hunt down the game .
In poor : Entouragewants to dress itself up in today ’s finery , while still playing a game that has drastically changed in the four old age the show has been off the gentle wind . While it work moment - to - mo , any enceinte testing of the moving picture cursorily exposes the insincerity at the core of this big - screen adaptation .
Ellin ’s creation was always male illusion unleashed , but at least the telecasting serial remained ( until later seasons ) somewhat grounded in a feeling of " real Hollywood effort " that could ’ve been lived by a notable star topology ( i.e. Mark Wahlberg , who also cameos in the movie).Entourage : The Moviehas more in blood withProject Xin its depiction of superfluous , sex , and hedonism - with ne’er a job or consequence to consider along the way .
Instead of further developing the role ( if indeed there was ever anything leave to plumb ) , it ’s as if Ellin and Weiss have retreat away from the blank space of adulthood the serial left us off at , far back into even more juvenile fantasy , where every girl ( even a superstar model and MMA protagonist ) is a willing object vying to be in the guys ' various lap , and even things like unfaithfulness or parentage sense somehow deprived of proper weight or importance . Who has prison term to worry though ? It ’s all just another bright , gay , smile twenty-four hour period in the life of theEntourageguys - even when their reputations get forever ruined in raunchy Internet scandals .
All joke apart , the narrative ( so to speak ) is pretty much as meandering as describe above . The with child ( read : only ) conflict in the film is an tempestuous Haley Joel Osment ( that kid fromA.I.andThe Sixth Sense , all grown up now ) and the motion picture foolishly tries to turn that " conflict " into a quasi - whodunit that anyone will see come a mile away . It ’s as if wedged somewhere between bong hit , chase ass , political party - and oh yeah , somewhere in there actually making a picture - someone remembered that this moving-picture show needed a patch , and cobbled together some tenuous turn , using Osment ’s character as the opponent .
As such , the third act ofEntouragedeflates like a punctured tire when shout out on to pull the various open togs into a fulfilling climax . However , rather of face up to their narrative certificate of indebtedness , Ellin and Co. go into full denial modality by diving even deep into the fantasy bubble , represent an almost dreamlike cease where everything just works itself out , and everyone generate what they require ( money ! celebrity ! Love ! New bum to chase ( wordplay ) ! ) and if there are any complications or problems , they occur safely offscreen . It ’s one thing to fantasize about role you love , living on happily after the story has ended ; it ’s another thing to put those fantasies up on a screen and seek to call them a movie . Like an early reading of The Matrix , the world ofEntourage : The Moviefeels too perfect and carefree to be real or procurable - which is arguably the entire magic thaumaturgy the TV show attract off .

So does that mean the movie is a total failure ? Absolutely not . If you were a fan of the show ’s manlike fantasy construct ( and never really get into the more dramatic part ) then this is the consummate distilledEntouragefun experience . The guy are still the guy wire , and the camaraderie , chemistry and funny banter are still inviolate amongst the mold member . Jeremy Piven still steals the show as Ari , and time has for the most part not change all that much ( a few more crows foot on faces , a few jokes about Jerry Ferrara ’s weighting loss … that ’s about it ) .
In terms of reelect us to the world and characters ofEntourage , the film almost doestoogood of a job ; there ’s a lot of substantial tale introduced for the respective characters , but it all gets geld short by the clip bound of a feature article film , and would ’ve ( ironically ) been well swear out by a new season of the show ( shortened or otherwise ) .
As it stand , Entouragethe movie is like a long trailer for a season of the show we wish we could learn in full , but never will . Though the fibre and form are still on their secret plan - and the renown cameos as abundant and funny as ever - the celluloid necessarily feels like a ghost from a dissimilar era , the aloof reverberation of a fantasy once heard aloud and unclouded . Even though the Guy seem to be standing still in prison term , the reckon audience and world of Hollyweird these persona inhabit have inevitably go on , leave them like Matthew McConaughey’sDazed and Confusedcharacter , Dave Wooderson , marveling at how everything sweet remains marvelously the same , while blissfully unaware of how awkward he ’s take off to reckon , standing on that same corner still trying to play the cool hombre .
