Doug Ellin's Entourage picks up weeks after the events of the series, which finds Vincent attempting to get back to work with a major studio adaptation of Jekyll & Hyde. With Ari Gold being the new studio head, it's essentially a done-deal, but when Vincent tells Ari he wants to make his directorial debut with the film, it makes both Ari and the studio investors more than a bit nervous. The film version of the popular television series is exactly what you'd expect, a fun, slight, adventure of bros, Eric, Turtle, Johnny, and Vincent that feels an awful lot like a long episode of the series. From the on-again-off-again romance between Sloan and Eric, Ari's typical explosive and crude rants, typical womanizing, and bro-ing out, this film version of Entourage certainly feels a bit unnecessary, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I had a good time. Overloaded with cameos, Entourage falls victim to doing a little too much of the same thing at times, but fortunately thanks to a rather entertaining supporting performance by Haley Joel Osment, and Piven's typical fiery Ari Gold, Entourage is entertaining though certainly slight, much like the show itself. In the end, if you liked the show there is no reason you shouldn't like the film version, giving fans another opportunity to spend a few hours with this brotastic group of friends.
