I don\u2019t go to the movies often (actually never), but I\u2019ve had Entourage<\/i> circled on my calendar since literally years before anyone admitted such a thing would exist. I knew one day they\u2019d make the hit TV series into a movie, and I\u2019d be there the first day. Well, it wasn\u2019t the first day and wasn\u2019t the second, but they got my 13 bucks and it was worth every penny.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not going to divulge any plot lines or outcomes here\u2014really, what\u2019s there to divulge? It\u2019s just people being awesome\u2014just to say got see it if you haven\u2019t. And if you have, see it again. This is one of those movies that I leave in my Netflix queue even after I see it, because I figure by the time it makes its way to the top of said queue I\u2019ll want to see it again. Same reason I own most seasons of Entourage\u00a0<\/em>on DVD and why I used to go out of my way to see it every Sunday, even when I didn\u2019t have HBO. (Good to have friends.) For those of you who\u2019ve never seen an episode of the show (first off, shame on you), you\u2019ll still enjoy the movie. But the more familiar you are with the series and the brand the more you\u2019ll be rewarded. (I knew all that extra studying I did would come in handy.)<\/p>\n Usually I say about a movie like this that no one tries too hard and I appreciate that. Well, 95 percent of the actors in this movie don\u2019t try too hard, actors and non-actors who are just making cameos and being awesome on screen. But the main cast is<\/i> trying, and those actors really are acting<\/i> and doing it well. Yeah, the whole thing\u2019s a bit contrived and maybe predictable\u2026 who cares. This is all about being awesome. It\u2019s hip-hop for white people (I wish I came up with that one), and I approve. To borrow from a review from another of my favorite (but very different) films\u2026 it\u2019s got a good beat and the kids can dance to it.<\/i><\/p>\n I\u2019m still a kid at heart. Aren\u2019t we all? My entourage is now my wife and son (actually I\u2019m in their entourage), but I still like things that are awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don\u2019t go to the movies often (actually never), but I\u2019ve had Entourage circled on my calendar since literally years before anyone admitted such a thing would exist.
