It was amazing for a few seasons. It lost more and more of the charm towards the end, but I still enjoyed it for the most part. Also, Emanuelle Chriqui... Possibly the most beautiful woman to ever exist.

I'll definitely see the movie, for whatever reasons.

So hot but the title will always belong to Audrey Hepburn

Trying to use Wahlberg to get butts into seats. It didn't cost much, but it's looking like it won't make too much either:

"Warner Bros.’ Entourage is reporting a $5.36M Wednesday at 3,058 venues, thus leading all pics yesterday. That figure is less than the rosy results that many were projecting from matinees and we hear that evening ticket sales tapered off. Industry estimates now see Entourage in the high teens to low $20Ms for the five-day"

Well, originally they thought it was going to make 25 mil opening which was way more then they thought it would. Now they see it's going to make less than 25 mil, but still more then they originally thought it was going to. Besides, it only had a budget of 27 mil plus marketing, so it is almost guaranteed they will make money short of an act of god.
 
Saw it, kind of meh.

It's basically the ninth season of Entourage that nobody really asked for. Exactly like the TV show and I don't consider that a good thing personally. Same opening credits/theme, same celeb cameos, same E/Sloan melodrama, everything is the same. Not exaggerating when I say the writers literally erased every development from the series finale in the opening minutes:
Vince was married, now he's not. E was with Sloan, now he's not. Drama had a successful show, now it's canned, Ari goes from Italy back to Hollywood, etc etc
just so they could just retread old ground again.

There's nothing fresh story-wise after all these years off and there's nothing "big budget" here to justify this actually being a movie - you'll leave the theater wondering why it wasn't just an HBO TV special or something. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's terrible or anything, just kind of... pointless I guess.
 
I thought it was great!

It definitely tried to reset the deck a bit (the only one that bugged me was E/Sloan).

But the storyline was fun. It definitely felt like an entire season crammed into one movie. The second half is superior to the first, it felt like it didn't really know what it was doing at first. Too many things to get the viewer caught up.

I thought Haley Joel was great. It was just fun. And the ending was awesome. Closes out their story very well IMO.

there is mid credits scene that is the real ending.

This is a good point. It would have felt more at home on HBO as either a 4 part miniseries or just a movie.

Just saw the weirdest commercial for this. Instead of just a normal trailer it was Mark Wahlberg talking about what the movie is about, with a few scenes cut in.

Also saw Vince's mentos commercial in it. Was that ever in the show? I rewatched it recently and didnt notice it.

Haha no. That was awesome. I wonder if that was old footage of him or if it was just digital.

I don't think he's supposed to be a great actor in the show.

Yeah, they even have an entire storyline about this. It was one of the better storylines in the show.

The show started out treating the character of Vince like he was Jesus, then figured out that Vince is really just Hollywood Don Draper. So that's why they started kind of making him a joke in the final few seasons. It would have worked, too, if the show had not already cemented itself as "Rich White Guys Doing Anything They Want.... and Diet Sexism: The Show".
 
As a huge fan of the show, I loved the movie. So did my wife. It was everything we wanted the movie to be. The show is always at it's best when it's crazy, out there, and funny.

Also, did anybody else notice that Scott Lavin (Scott Caan) was cut out of the movie? I believe he was supposed to be in it.

Good. I hated that smug ass character.
 
Just saw it. Echoing the view that it was one season crammed into a movie. It was fun but could have been so much more.

Also that fat rich dude is the kid from Sixth Sense?

Yes. Haley Joel Osmot or something like that.
 
Liked it, far better than S7/8 if not completely reaching the heights of early seasons. Guess it won't be making huge amounts of money (I doubt anyone expected Sex and the City levels of success) so I doubt we'll see a sequel but I liked the ending well enough.
 
Just saw this with my brother, whom I started to watch the series with back in 2004. We've seen every episode together. We both thought the movie was great and exactly what it needed to be.

Has Ronda Rousey figured out how to act yet?
Click to expand...

Ronda fits in perfectly here imo. Not sure if that's cause her acting ability has improved or cause she was simply surrounded with fellow subpar actors in this flick. Probably a bit of both.
 
Saw it this afternoon. Loved it. If you liked the show, this is way better, like S2-S3 as some ppl have said.

Ari got too much screen time, imo.
 
7/10

Saw it. Really enjoyed it. Was exactly what I would expect from an Entourage film:Ari being Ari and the crew just doing shit with Drama as the butt of jokes.

Honestly though, this movie is years late. When the show was nearly ending, a year wait would've been fine, but 4 years?

Haley does his role service here and Rhonda continues to be as hot and scary as I would imagine her to be in real life. Plenty of Hollywood cameos and plenty of E Drama.

I'm really disappointed Kid Cudi has been relegated to bit roles instead of making the dopest music he possibly could.

All in all, I'm satisfied with how the film came out, even if everything S8 ended in became a wash.

Definitely go see it if you want to relive the greatness of the show.
 
Fuck E (who is a dick and an undiagnosed sex addict) and fuck the obscene amount of cameos in this movie. They get distracting as hell. Fucking Warren Buffett is in this movie. Mark Wahlberg promotes his reality show.

Loved it besides that. I've never been a Grenier hater and thought he was fine. Piven steals the show of course. It doesn't reach S2/S3 heights, but it's definitely better than S4 on. Lot of fan service and most of the comedy comes from said fan service, so it's skippable if you're not a fan of the show. I'd be down for a sequel, though I have no idea where'd they go with it, especially with Hyde
being a mega hit critically and financially.

Where the hell was Scott Caan?!

That answers my question. I knew he was in the trailer and promo shots.
 
Listening to Doug Ellin on the Q&A podcast talk about how little he cares about and disliles coming up with story explains a lot about why the show fell off a cliff after Season 2.

The guy seems pretty defensive about his show.
 
My friends and I saw this movie last night. It was good. Not great but worth watching. Like a long episode kinda. If watch it again at home when I can stream it.
 
It's precisely how I expected an Entourage movie to be. It's not the greatest movie I've seen this year, but there's something to be said for a movie completely fulfilling my expectations heading in.
 
It was just like the TV show, kinda weird seeing it in the theaters and not an HBO film of the month.

I enjoyed Haley's character. He was also on WTF Marc Maron.

Well that makes sense. The story in this movie is paper thin and objectively dog shit.

1. Hit reset button and ignore everything that happened in the series finale, cause fuck attempting fresh new things and putting familiar characters in different situations.
2. First time director Vincent Chase wants to make a movie, very next scene Vince has made a movie. That was easy!
3. It's nearly perfect, just overbudget. Time for Ari to come in and scream/yell/be crazy and secure some financing.
4. Throw a beach house "screening" party so we could get the hottest and most relevant celeb cameos. Is Bud Bundy from Married With Children available?
5. Everything works out in the end. Much success and all the awards to the bros. Nailed it. Victory.

Doug Ellin probably scribbled this shit onto a napkin in five minutes while at some bar.

I don't see what's so hard. The guy probably lives in Hollywood and bangs a lot of women, right?

There's your story ideas right there.

I was actually thinking about this. Alice Eve's character should have become part of the group, and the central conflict would revolve around how she fits in with the other three, as well as how she and Vince balance their work with each other, since she was some hotshot journalist or whatever.

Plus it would make the financier plot more than
hurr durr Vince got the girl Osment wanted
, as well as adding an additional dimension to Sloan/E (look, Vince settled down, why can't we?)

I spend way too much time thinking about this stuff.

It's the wedding, and Ari walks Lloyd down the aisle. Some dancing and partying and everyone is taking a photo and Billy pitches the idea of 'this'...some guys from New York moving to Hollywood and becoming big successes. E suggests a TV Show. It ends there.
 
Man...it's a feel-good summer movie that's light and fun.

What the fuck did people expect? Schindler's List?

I liked the fact that the entire movie actually centered around Drama and ended with him, as well.

I wonder if he feels the same way David Chase felt about The Sopranos, where the things he wanted people to get out of the show were lost in translation and people latched onto the crappy fluff.

Because yeah, breaking down the plot so simply like you have, it felt like shit just happened and everyone is happy. They didn't even make the effort of detailing how difficult it should've been for Vincent Chase to make a film without experience.
