Mark Wahlberg and HBO have finally come to their senses and brought back all of the "Entourage" boys back in style again!-That includes, Vinny Chase, E Murphy, Johnny "Drama", Turtle, and Ari mother f**king Gold! I'm just a recent fan of the hit show. A couple of months ago I thought I'd start to watch the series so I rented all 8 seasons from my local library and literally right after the first episode, I was uncontrollably hooked! It only took maybe not even barely 2 weeks to watch all 96 episodes in my room every single night disc after disc. Now in their big movie debut, they pick up right after major movie star Vinny Chases failed marriage and he is now ready to direct his own big movie under the studio helm of the hardboiled Ari Gold. This movie has a million things going on, trouble with the budget and the movies co-financiers, Relationships with some that don't know where to take it. Here's the deal, some critics aren't into the movie because some may feel it doesn't have a very tight story nailed down, but to me even after just watching all the seasons, this movie perfectly picks up where the show was hanging. All the actors are without a doubt back in top form perfectly cast as their characters, and all the sub-plots that are going on is just like how it would be like in the series. I'm not saying their wrong, but in all honesty I just think this is only for die hard fans, which I now like to consider myself as.This movie is basically 3-4 episodes in one! That can be often a bad thing with some other TV-movies adaptations. I just couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with the excitement I had watching all these guys act with their camaraderie style of how these guys act with each other! As for people who are not familiar with the series, if you ask me, technically yes this movie can stand on its own but it is a 100 times better with the show in mind going into this because your appreciation comes with and helps make this a great experience! The show back then and also the movie deals with little controversy because these guys, yeah I'll say it, they're basically douche-bags. To me, they're fun douche-bags. I wouldn't be certain if I actually liked these guys in person but like Jeremy Pivens Ari Gold says in the film that there is a certain relationship with these guys that makes it charming in a way. Just the dialogue alone is great with the 4 friends whatever they're doing. For most guys out there who have an "Entourage", this could appeal to you just on the fact of a few buddies strolling around the streets talking and joking with one another. The only thing that might've taken me away from the movie is that some of the cameos were sort of hit or miss. Not total miss that it was a failed attempt but like a cameo wasn't as strong as the last one or as good. All that said, I think "Entourage" is a great start to summer movies! I got just enough laughs throughout and was constantly interested in seeing what was going on in most of the sub-plots, just like how you would feel in the show with each episode. I wish it could've been longer, but as a fan with everyone bringing it to the table what they did, I truly believe they have succeeded by bringing that style and feel back, but now on a big screen, which made everything alone feel much more cool.
