We all know that the end of Entourage, the HBO series, ended with no ambition and full of clichés, there was no such thing as memorable finale, everything seemed pushed and rushed… The big-screen version was something quite expected, giving the viewer the sense that there is nothing here that can really surprise us. Entourage retains many elements of the HBO series, full of well studied cameos, but fails big time if the purpose is to somehow compensate the bad ending of the serie.
The show’s original cast is there, led by Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven, but Vincent Chase, together with his boys, Eric, Turtle and his brother Johnny are back in the business, but only to assure that the male fantasy still lives around them, providing a shallow extended post-last episode. Well, in the other hand, if you are a fan, you have the same characters, even if now they’re driven to other purposes, the gang-brotherhood are still there, the way they bound together is still intact… And there is still the memorable Ari Gold, portrayed by the unique Jeremy Piven.
Entourage is a bad movie, lacks ambition and is full of that superficiality of the Hollywood lifestyle, full of stupid homophobic macho things and women exposed like objects. This could have been an extended HBO special last episode, but they went directly to do something like the Sex and the City franchise, and they both suck!
