- Your best friend’s star is rising in Hollywood, and there’s only one thing to do: join his entourage. Meet Eric, Turtle and Johnny Drama: three guys from Queens dedicated to helping their film-star buddy Vincent Chase navigate the absurdities of modern-day Hollywood–where sex, parties and super-agents rule the town.Running Time: 240 min. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR
Movie DVDEntourage is everything viewers have come to expect from an HBO series: smart, hilarious, and highly addictive, especially when taken in full-season, DVD form. As implied in the title, the show follows Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), a rising Hollywood star with bedroom eyes and an over-active libido, along with his three childhood companions-turned-hangers-on. Kevin Dillon plays Johnny Drama, Vincent’s less-attractive, B-list actor of a brother (he is Matt Dillon’s less-attractive, B-list actor of a brother in real life). Jerry Ferrara plays Turtle, the weasel, and Kevin Connolly appears as Eric, the Everyman hero who hopes to parlay his friendship with Vincent (plus two years of community college) into a career in talent management. Along the way Eric contends with the predictable self-doubt, romantic indecision, etc. The cast is rounded out by Jeremy Piven (Doug Hughley from Singles) as a foul-mouthed agent reminiscent of Jay Mohr’s short-lived Peter Dragon character. Finally, it’s produced by Marky Mark himself–and you’ve got to believe that guy knows something about the star-entourage relationship. If possible, watch with a friend so you’ll have someone to quote lines back to later. –Leah Weathersby

Unoriginal. Boring. Trite.
If you enjoy MTV and all its wonderful programming, and Mark Wahlberg films, this is the show for you.

I had heard a lot about this show… its popularity, its acclaim. We don’t get HBO so we rented it. The disc had a glitch in it and we were unable to watch the last 5 minutes of the pilot, but we’d had enough. The characters live a lifestyle that we just couldn’t care about; the only one I actually liked was the Eric character, but the rest were so stupid, boring and unappealing that it became too painful to watch.
I am going to move on to “Six Feet Under” and hope for the best. It will be something to do while I wait for the next season of “Scrubs” to arrive… now there’s a show whose characters I can care about!

I had heard this was a good show & since I don’t have HBO I bought it. The show was decent, not addicting like other shows. I don’t think it was worth 30 bucks since there are only like 6 half hour episodes. If you are able to rent them or borrow them from someone I would suggest doing that instead.

Outstanding television series. Who wouldn’t want to be or have a friend be famous and ride their coat tails? I WOULD! Very entertaining writing here. Character “Turtle”, who hasn’t had a friend like Turtle? Purchased the second season as well!
