money; as well as his son (Osment) who seemingly is trying to sabotage the film at all costs. The plot seems to be well known in the Entourage series, with some of the stuff having been seen in the past (financial and relationship difficulties) and the unknown of where these careers are going to land down the road. What this film caters to well is the fans of the show. It is safe to say that if you have not seen the show at all, you really won't have any interest in the movie or even really know what is going on. That is what I think the main problem with the critical reviews are is that most of the critics did not care for the show in general and did not understand who these characters are. The plot is pretty straight forward so it is not like they were confused at all, but from their general consensus, they just did not seem to really care. That is a shame because there is a good movie here with great characters.
However, if you have seen the show then this film will easily fit right into your liking. The humor and tone that made it so memorable continues to reside within the characters and shows just how they really have become a family. The two standouts, like in the show, are Johnny Drama (Dillion) and Ari Gold (Piven). They really drive most of the scenes and humor within the film, as well as continue to develop even more as the film progresses. There are also plenty of celebrity cameos, which allows Entourage to feel like a real life depiction of the lifestyle that most celebrities live. Those cameos include Mark Wahlberg, Emily Ratajkowski (who actually plays a bigger role than the trailers lead on), Piers Morgan, Bob Saget, Liam Neeson, Kelsey Grammar, Jessica Alba, Rob Gronkowski, as well as a countless number of others. The bottom line is, if you have seen the show and love the characters, then you will enjoy this film. If you have not seen the show, you won't have much interest in what this movie has to offer. I love the series (probably one of my favorites of all time) so I enjoyed the film quite a bit. If you do decide to give Entourage a shot, I would recommend watching the show beforehand so you can get the flow and tone of what is happening, as well as an understanding of each of the characters.
