Entourage

"Hey Schindler! Leave no Jew behind!” A pleasant chill-out movie from the attractive offscreen lives of Hollywood producers and actors. While for Americans who are familiar with the TV series this is a nice ending, for many of us it is a teaser pilot. Funny cameos, the best one with Liam Neeson and the most surprising with Warren Buffet. Exteriors of real film studios, sexy bodies on the pool terraces of luxury villas. Supercars rolling through the Hollywood Hills and down Sunset Strip. A fast pace and a feel-good happy ending. The film relishes its own universe in the same way as Altman’s The Player, but with as much humor as possible and no higher artistic ambitions. Said humor is subtle, so expect no farting, vomiting, weak spots or awkwardness (sometimes amusingly) used by Seth Rogen & Co. (This Is the End). Most importantly, even as someone totally ignorant of the series, I felt completely at home among the characters and their troubles after half an hour. (18.06.2015)

When you’re watching something out of context, it’s hard to get into it. However, a mere hour and a half was enough for me to know that I don’t wanna watch the show. The ending at the Golden Globes is, however, really nice and once again, it shows how Hollywood’s able to poke fun at itself. (20.07.2016)

Everything is terribly speeded up and I bet that lots of scenes ended up on the cutting room floor so that this wouldn’t look like just another season of the series, but a two-hour movie. Despite that, this epilogue is a functional, but not excellent summary of the series. If you haven’t seen the series, you have no chance of making sense of it. (29.07.2020)

I haven't seen the series, but from what I watched, it might entertain me. After all, I'm quite interested in the behind-the-scenes of filming in Hollywood, as well as the fact that real Hollywood stars appear here. It's not all funny, the script isn't good enough for that, but there are moments here that definitely amused me. (01.08.2015)
