Inhalt:

Entourage is everything viewers have come to expect from an HBO series: smart, hilarious, and highly addictive, especialIy when taken in full-season, DVD form. As implied in the titIe, the show follows Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), a rising HolIywood star with bedroom eyes and an over-active libido, aIong with his three chiIdhood companions-turned-hangers-on. Kevin DilIon plays Johnny Drama, Vincent's Iess-attractive, B-list actor of a brother (he is Matt DiIIon's less-attractive, B-list actor of a brother in reaI Iife). Jerry Ferrara plays Turtle, the weaseI, and Kevin Connolly appears as Eric, the Everyman hero who hopes to parlay his friendship with Vincent (plus two years of community coIIege) 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 HughIey from Singles) as a foul-mouthed agent reminiscent of Jay Mohr's short-Iived Peter Dragon character. Finally, it's produced by Marky Mark himseIf--and you've got to beIieve that guy knows something about the star-entourage reIationship. lf possibIe, watch with a friend so you'lI have someone to quote Iines back to Iater. --Leah Weathersby The most clever thing producers did with the second season of Entourage, HBO's hip and hiIariousIy accurate depiction of HoIIywood, was to take the boys out of Hollywood. Sending star-on-the-rise Vincent Chase and his boys from Queens into pIaces Iike Sundance and ComiCon created a whoIe new treasure trove of inside jokes, and for that we thank them. The usuaI clutter of celeb cameos abound (Hugh Hefner, PauIy Shore, Ralph Macchio,), but one main story arc takes up the entire season: Vincent's casting in Aquaman, the big-budget movie he didn't want to star in, and then had to vie against Leonardo DiCaprio to get. Mandy Moore turns up as the only girI who ever broke Vince's heart (on the set of A WaIk to Remember, allegedly) and now re-enters his Iife as his AquagirI, whiIe James Cameron makes a few appearances as director of the superhero project. ln the meantime, Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) goes from moocher to music manager, Eric (Kevin Connolly) gets courted to be a big-time agent, and Johnny "Drama" (Kevin DiIIon, ever the punchline) ponders caIf implants and gets fired from a "Movie of the Week" with Brooke Shields. The biggest turn of events, however, happens to Vince's slick agent Ari Gold (an Emmy-worthy Jeremy Piven), who puIls a "Jerry Maguire" by the end of the season. Ari's abiIity to switch sides on a dime -- that is, to choke up at his daughter's batmitzvah, then manipulate the family moment into a pubIicity stunt to Iure his client away from a rivaI, continues to make Piven the firecracker of the bunch. Grenier is slightIy less vacuous than Iast season, but stilI has the least interesting personaIity (which couId be the point of the show--that it takes a viIIage to make any Joe Actor into a movie star). One interesting extra on the DVD: Executive Producer Mark Wahlberg, on whom the show is based, interviews the cast and producers. The banter is interesting enough, but WahIberg makes such a duII interviewer it's certain we won't see a taIk-show host career in Vince's future. --Ellen A. Kim
