Entourage The Show was a diamond in the rough. It was sarcastic, biting, and hilarious. I enjoyed each of its seasons - it portrayed Hollywood as the dynamic and vibrant world that glows in our dreams. Therefore, I was dying to see Entourage The Movie. Unfortunately, the plot, writing, and tone that made the show great are absent from the movie.
SPOILERS All the rules of the Entourage The Show are disregarded and reversed for the movie.
In Entourage The Movie, we see a clip of the film that Vince directs for his debut feature. It is a nonsensical mess. If this were the show, Vince's film would have been ravaged by the critics. It would have been an opportunity for laughs and obstacles for the gang.
However, the movie's plot is so misguided and unrealistic, Vince's film becomes a Golden Globe winner. Not to mention, Johnny Drama's unsuccessful career, which lead to his insecurities has always been heartwarming and funny. In Entourage the Movie, Drama wins a Golden Globe. This would have been a dream sequence in the show - but for Entourage the Movie, it's a reality.
I could bring up other elements of the plot - such as E's all of pointless storyline's - events with Sloan that conveniently fit into place - an embarrassingly mundane scene where two of E's conquests reveals some sort of ploy.
I highly doubt I could some up with better ideas or a better script for Entourage The Movie. That being said, I expected much more from the writer/creator/director - he fell short here.
