Bros, brews, boobs and cameos, sounds like a great formula to me! No surprises here, the Entourage movie is everything you thought it would be, and for the fans I think that’s enough.
The Entourage movie is the last installment for the popular HBO series of the same name, and it picks up pretty much right where the show left off. For fans it is satisfying to pick up with these characters without missing a beat and keeps it simple for people not familiar with the show. My fear was that people not familiar with the HBO series would be lost but I think they do a pretty good job at the jump explaining who everyone is and their roles via a Piers Morgan interview.
For the fans everything you loved is back, and everything you hated is back. This movie is pretty much like a whole season of Entourage jammed into 2 hours. There are a lot of drinking, girls, and celebrity friends. They also use the classic Entourage plot point that we have all seen before. All of the main characters are back including E and Sloan…. They seemed to bog down a otherwise fun plot, but for fans of the show this is nothing new. I was really annoyed with the will they wont they in the show and I was again annoyed with the same plot point in the movie. What this movie does really well is make you care about Vinny’s entourage and it creates the kind of life envy only this show can bring.
Overall I think fans will love this movie and watch it as a good cap to a really awesome TV show. People not familiar with the show may have fun but I think a lot of the jokes are going to be missed and ultimately I don’t think this stands out on its own.
My Ranking: Wait on it (HBO)
