 Another Great Season Nov 21, 2009
Great Season 2 another one filled with laughs but this time it looks like they added more drama into the mix, which makes the show even more interesting. I love this show.
Fascinating! Nov 14, 2009
Continuation of behind-the-movie look at Hollywood. Great scripts that never leave the viewers bored. Great casting with believable characters that viewer can identify with. The show highlights beautiful LA where rich and famous hang out and lived. Absolutely fascinating! Season 2 has three disks and the setup is much easier and faster to get to each episode. It has a special bonus feature where the executive producer Mark Wahlberg interviews the cast and other production members. Mark allows his star to talk and doesn't steal the show - what a guy! Great show all around.
I love Yatabe's description: "Sex and the City" for guys... Sep 23, 2009
I have no idea how much women may enjoy "Entourage" - I'm also reminded of my brother's description: it's like a he-man woman-hater's club for grown-ups, for those who remember that episode of the old Hal Roach Little Rascals.
Entourage, like other great shows of the past, starts off strong in season one, then in the second season becomes even more fleshed out as the cast and writers become more familiar with their format.
Adrian Grenier's Vinny Chase is coming off filming of the art-house "Queen's Boulevard" and is hoping for another meaty project. He is not particularly interested in donning the glittering suit as Aquaman. Kevin Connolly's "E" continues to grow from former pizza-boy to Hollywood manager - at one point he is recruited by the owner of Ari's agency (played as a magnificent white-haired lion by Malcolm McDowell). Jerry Ferraro as Turtle gets a little more meat - when he recovers their stolen ride from the police pound he finds a hip-hop demo by Saigon in the CD player. Instead of turning in Saigon he thinks the music would sound great on the soundtrack of "Queen's Boulevard" and offers to be Saigon's manager. Kevin Dillon is again miraculous as the bundled mess of anxiety and bravado that is Johnny Drama Chase.
Jeremy Piven stands out in an exceptional cast as Vincent's agent Ari - part Andrew Dice Clay, part Tasmanian Devil. Ari percolates along a hair-trigger away from a volcanic eruption of biblical proportion and you get the idea that he'd sell his own grandmother for a good movie deal.
Celebrity guest roles remain an important part of the mix and you have to give 'em credit - Bob Saget, Gary Busey, Mandy Moore, James Woods, Ralph Macchio and several others play fictional versions of themselves that are hilarious and self-deprecating. (Saget hangs out at the high-class house of ill repute down the street from the Entourage manse, Macchio is quick to drop into a Karate Kid-like stance when challenged... in other words - the celebrity appearances aren't just cameos - they're actually worked into the story, and they're FUNNY.)
Sharpening Its Edge Aug 24, 2009
After watching the second season of ENTOURAGE, I will be getting the rest of the seasons and watching them. And probably not as fast as I'd like. Because I have to work and sleep and stuff.
In the second season, the show feels like its coming into better focus, the characters are sharper, the tensions are greater. And the comedy is funnier. Ari's new secretary, a gay Asian named Lloyd, is hilarious ("potty mouth," he pouts after a screaming call from Ari). Whether complaining that Ari's slurs are culturally inaccurate ("I'm from China, not Japan," Lloyd moans after one demeaning tirade) or playing as Ari's inside man during a "code red" at the agency, Lloyd is a great, funny addition to the show.
And Ari Gold is still too much fun to watch. This is one of those perfect casting moments that strike gold, like James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano.
This is not the kind of show that looks like they've just turned some cameras on in Hollywood and improvised more lame movie star stuff. The stories are very well crafted and the dialogue is spot-on.
ENTOURAGE comes across with an authenticity that makes it infinitely more "real" than anything on "Entertainment Tonight" and the E! Channel.
