Sure it would be great to have it all, but at what price? For Vince, Eric, Drama and Turtle, life in Hollywood’s fast lane isn’t without its road bumps, as we learned when a botched deal cost Ari, Vince’s longtime agent, his job. Will change at the top make the difference in getting Vince his dream picture – or will the boys regret giving Ari the ax?HBO’s decision to release Entourage’s third season in two parts makes watching the already brief season on DVD feel even more abrupt; compared to part one’s 12 episodes, part two is just eight–and just as the plot feels like it’s finally moving, it’s over. Also over, at least as part two opens, is the working relationship between movie star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) and agent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven). Playing much like a real breakup, the two circle each other in various spots in Hollywood–avoiding, making small talk, attempting the just-friends hangout. But deep down, the two know they’re meant for each other, and when Ari dangles the rights to Vincent’s dream project–the Pablo Escobar biopic Medellín–Vincent is only too happy to meet, against the wishes of his new agent (Carla Gugino). The pursuit of the Medellín project is the focus of part two, from trying to close the deal on Yom Kippur (not the easiest when the studio execs are observing the holy day), to mulling an indecent proposal from a prince and his wife in exchange for financing the flick. Meanwhile, Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon, who finally scored an Emmy nomination for this season) enjoys success on an Edward Burns-produced network drama called Five Towns. Turtle and Eric don’t get as much storyline in this installment, and while there’s plenty of Piven scenery to chew there’s not enough of his scene-stealing assistant, Lloyd (Rex Lee). Bonus features remain minimal: commentary, a behind-the-scenes featurette. Perhaps that’s the running theme of part two: There’s just not enough. –Ellen A. Kim

it used to amaze me years ago when a company called ‘ronco’ used to advertize junk on tv and millions of americans would buy it.
i’m not amazed anymore, more like disappointed, because mediocrity
seems to be what most americans want everyday.
calling “entourage” mediocre is probably being too nice. this is a
low-quality series with pathetic acting being watched by a “clockwork orange” audience. (you know when they had to prop alex’s eyes open so he had to watch the unwatchable.)
after really lowering the bar with “sex and the city,” hbo has put it underground with this tripe.
hbo used to be an excellent alternative to network(mediocre) tv with series like “six-feet under”, “oz”, “carnivale”. these were well-written,well-acted programs that were a pleasure to watch and would also challenge one’s intelligence.
hbo hasn’t reached ground zero yet; they still have “the wire”
“curb your enthusiasm” and “big love.”
note to hbo: don’t look back, showtime with “brotherhood”, “dexter”
and “weeds” is catching up and perhaps pulling ahead.
dragging dead weight like “entourage” can only slow you down.

I really wish I could offer a review of this product but since I have yet to receive it, eventhough you took payment for it exactly one month ago today, I am not able to offer an opinion.
The payment was deducted promptly, the tracking number came prompty, ….and the tracking number goes no where, I only received a response to the first email I sent, after 16 days had gone by, telling me to wait 7 more. I thought, surely someone just made an error getting it out and they are sending it now….WRONG!!!! No one will respond to any other emails I have sent demanding my product or my money refunded. Quite frankly, I am suprised I am being sent an opportunity to submit a review since at this point I am not only being ignored as a consumer, I also have been stolen from as the money was processed and I have NEVER REVECIVED THE PRODUCT!!!!
Someone should really check into your customer service skills!
Still waiting in Nevada and not likely to use again!

This is the best show on tv, period. With the sopranos coming to an end this show gets the crown. Smart, funny and fast paced episodes that get better every season.

The boys are back at it and provide plenty of laughs. Drama continues to be my favorite character in the series, while “E” needs to be taken out back and beaten.
looking forward to next season.

Entourage is a great show and the only reason they are spliting the dvd’s up is because the season was split up. It’s so worth it because its the conclusion to the best season of the show thus far, season 4 was so so just for the record. Season 3 part two is a fantastic conclusion to a cliffhanger midpoint. I’m glad it’s on DVD and I cannot wait to watch it. What I am hoping is that the next season will pull this show out of last seasons funk.
