Full Product DetailsEditorial Reviews
HBO's half-hour series Entourage -- the story of a rising actor (Adrian Grenier as Vincent Chase) on the loose in Hollywood with his best friends from Queens, New York -- was not exactly a hit in its first season. The mix of inside-showbiz humor, broad laughs, and character-driven drama sometimes felt clunky; and HBO erred in promoting it as a male, L.A. version of Sex and the City, which it definitely was not. But Entourage found its voice midway through its freshman run and emerged in Season 2 firing on all cylinders, becoming must-see viewing for Variety-reading industry types. After three months in New York filming an indie flick entitled Queens Boulevard, Vince returns to the West Coast to find himself the contender for a big-screen adaptation of Aquaman, to be directed by James Cameron (one of many big names to play themselves on the show) and costarring Mandy Moore, the only girl to ever break his heart. His friend Eric (Kevin Connelly) struggles with his new duties as Vince's manager, battling at every turn with ruthless, acid-tongued agent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven). Elsewhere in the mansion: Schemer Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) continues to do little more than smoke pot, play video games, and spend Vince's money, though a chance encounter with an underground rapper may help him find his true calling; and Vince's older brother, Johnny "Drama" (Kevin Dillon), a struggling veteran actor, considers calf implants, among other things. Though Grenier gets top billing, it's the hilarious, bravura performances from Dillon and Piven (who won a 2005 Emmy for Best Supporting Actor) that make The Complete Second Season set so compelling. Ari delivers Entourage's most memorable lines ("Hug it out, bitch" has entered the pop-culture lexicon); while Drama, the actor who refuses to give up despite his lack of talent and his having burned nearly every bridge in Hollywood, remains the show's heart.
