The film "Entourage" is a rare case of successful transfer of the series into a full-length film project. Director Doug Ellin, who co-wrote the screenplay with Rob Weiss, has filmed a sequel to the famous hit HBO TV series Entourage, the comedy Entourage. Actors for 8 seasons of the soap opera did not bother the viewer, so they were invited to the full meter.

Pilot episode?

According to some world film critics, the comedy is very similar to the pilot episode of the new season of the series, since a significant part of the timing of the picture goes into prehistory (retelling the events of the past), and most of the humor is represented by the repetition of good old gags. Such a structure of the narrative of the comedy "Entourage" (the actors often emphasized this fact in media interviews) both pleases the loyal fans of "Handsome" and explains to inexperienced viewers who is who. Without exception, all the central characters of the film are fundamentally lucky and very rich, and the villains, if you can call them that, are not dangerous. Spoilering the plot is easy, from the first minutes of timingit becomes clear to the viewer that a happy ending is inevitable. However, this is not the main thing, the main thing is in the details, jokes, gags, sketches and details.

Story summary

Entourage is a film based on the life of Hollywood actor Vincent Chase and his buddies Eric, Turtle and Johnny. The story has all the traditional paraphernalia of the world of the stars of the Dream Factory: expensive cars, money, girls, fame. The heroes return from oblivion together with their ex-agent, the current head of the studio, Ari Gold. The action takes place in the most famous places in Los Angeles: in the elite Beverly Hills, at the Dream Factory - Hollywood, Burbank and Palos Verdes. During the shooting of the first frames of the film "Entourage", the actors had the opportunity to enjoy all the delights of Miami. Madonna's mansion in the Hollywood Hills was presented as Vincent's home. The brainchild of Doug Ellin is a film about loy alty, friendship and the vicissitudes of fame and popularity. Luxurious cars and chic women are the necessary entourage of the story, their role is secondary.

Chase and Eric

The image of the big screen star Vincent Chase was embodied on the screen by Adrian Grenier. The American musician, director and actor is familiar to the domestic audience from the films "Artificial Intelligence", "The Devil Wears Prada". But worldwide popularity came to Grenier after participating in the series "Handsome". The actor plays the horn and piano. Adrian Grenier is the main drummer and occasional guitarist for The Honey Brothers. But his passion for musicin no way interferes with a film career.

His close friend Eric was played by Kevin Connolly. The actor began his career at less than 6 years old, acting in commercials. Participated in film projects with Leonardo DiCaprio and Denzel Washington. In 2007, he made his debut as a director, presenting the film Gardener of Eden to the film community. Played supporting roles in The Champion, The Naked Truth, The Notebook, John Q, The Antoine Fisher Story.

Drama, Turtle and more

Cheerful fat man, gourmet and witty Turtle was played by Jerry Ferrara. According to the actor, he is the complete opposite of the hero, so he had to work hard to authentically play this character. Jerry Ferrara took an active part in various castings, but for a long time remained unnoticed by Hollywood artisans. He is not as famous as other actors, although his filmography includes such films as Survivor and Think Like a Man.

American actor Kevin Brady Dillon was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in "Handsome", so it's hard to imagine anyone else as Johnny Drama. The actor is known for his roles in films: "Platoon", "Kinship", "Doors", "Drop" and the TV series "Tales from the Crypt".

Ari Goldom was embodied on the screen by Jeremy Piven - the owner of three Emmys and a Golden Globe. American film producer, actor starred in such films as "Intuition", "Family Man" and "Trump Aces".

Billy Bob appeared as the father and son of Larsen and Travis McCredleThornton ("Armageddon", "Hooked", "The Judge") and Haley Joel Osment ("The Sixth Sense", "Artificial Intelligence")

CV

It is worth noting that Doug Ellin's comedy turned out to be light and not at all annoying. It will certainly appeal to fans of the series, and those who have no idea about the "Handsome". You should not expect a deep moral implication or semantic load. Even the actors who took part in the filming of the film "Entourage" called it an excellent option for a pleasant pastime, recommending watching the film on weekends with their best friends. As a result, the entire film is like an endless elite party at a luxurious pool, the guests of which, while talking, remember their youth, at the time when they shamelessly made fun of those they have now turned into. Although it is difficult to recommend a comedy for joint viewing with children because of the juicy moments.
