The TV show Entourage was fun and pure escapism in sunny LA and Hollyweird. The star of the show, and reason to watch is Jeremy Piven playing Ari Gold, the Agent. He is a powerhouse, angry and full of energy. The language is dreadful, there are more scenes of sex, nudity and drug use. Lots of it. So the film, which is three years after the series finished, and nine days in program time, is a direct follow on. The film has all the fun, laughs and sunshine of the series and runs just like a long episode. The film passes quickly and is really enjoyable; Drama (Kevin Dillon) is still struggling with his career, Vince (the gorgeous Adrian Grenier) getting over lost love, Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) is still in the money making business and E (Kevin Connolly finding his way back to Sloane (stunning Emmanuelle Chriqui). Of course Lloyd makes a return (Rex Lee) and is his irrepressible self. Perrey Reeves, Debi Mazar, Rhys Coiro and Constance Zimmer also returned in their regular characters. It was a star-studded cast full of cameos, Ed O'Neil, Thierry Henry, Liam Neeson, Pharrell Williams, Mike Tyson, Jon Favreau etc. Massive. But the star of the show is and forever will be Jeremy Piven and he deserves every single gong he received for this series and character.
