Entourage is everything viewers have come to expect from an HBO series: smart, hilarious, and highly addictive, especially when taken in full-season, DVD form. As implied in the title, the show follows Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), a rising Hollywood star with bedroom eyes and an over-active libido, along with his three childhood companions-turned-hangers-on.
Kevin Dillon plays Johnny Drama, Vincent’s less-attractive, B-list actor of a brother (he is Matt Dillon’s less-attractive, B-list actor of a brother in real life). Jerry Ferrara plays Turtle, the weasel, and Kevin Connolly appears as Eric, the Everyman hero who hopes to parlay his friendship with Vincent (plus two years of community college) 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 Hughley from Singles) as a foul-mouthed agent reminiscent of Jay Mohr’s short-lived Peter Dragon character.
Finally, it’s produced by Marky Mark himself–and you’ve got to believe that guy knows something about the star-entourage relationship. If possible, watch with a friend so you’ll have someone to quote lines back to later. –Leah WeathersbyThe most clever thing producers did with the second season of Entourage, HBO’s hip and hilariously accurate depiction of Hollywood, was to take the boys out of Hollywood. Sending star-on-the-rise Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his boys from Queens (hence the title of the show) into places like Sundance and ComiCon created a whole new treasure trove of inside jokes, and for that we thank them. The usual clutter of celeb cameos abound (Hugh Hefner, Pauly 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 girl who ever broke Vince’s heart (on the set of A Walk to Remember, allegedly) and now re-enters his life as his Aquagirl, while James Cameron makes a few appearances as director of the superhero project. In 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 Dillon, ever the punchline) ponders calf 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 pulls a Jerry Maguire by the end of the season. Ari’s ability to switch sides on a dime — that is, to choke up at his daughter’s bat mitzvah, then manipulate the family moment into a publicity stunt to lure his client away from a rival, continues to make Piven the firecracker of the bunch.
Grenier is slightly less vacuous than last season, but still has the least interesting personality (which could be the point of the show–that it takes a village to make any Joe Actor into a movie star). Unfortunately the DVD features no commentary and just one extra: Executive Producer Mark Wahlberg, on whom the show is based, interviews the cast and producers. The banter is interesting enough, but Wahlberg makes such a dull interviewer it’s certain we won’t see a talk-show host career in Vince’s future. –Ellen A. Kim
Product Description
Season 1 Your best friend’s star is rising in Hollywood, and there’s only one thing to do: join his entourage. Meet Eric, Turtle and Johnny Drama: three guys from Queens dedicated to helping their film-star buddy Vincent Chase navigate the absurdities of modern-day Hollywood–where sex, parties and super-agents rule the town. Season 2 After three months shooting an indie film in the Big Apple, the boys are back in LA. Eric is officially Vince’s manager, Turtle is running the house, Drama is hoping to enhance his onscreen assets…and Ari is pushing a blockbuster superhero role for his golden-boy client.

5.0 out of 5 stars This review is from: Entourage: The Complete First Season (DVD)
This review rates Entourage
My wife and I have found that we enjoy these better than watching individual movies.
How could anything else be #1? Entourage follows the career of movie star Vincent Chase and his group of friends. This is the gold standard by which all other series are measured. Plus, Entourage has the best one-liners of any series. Unfortunately, I cannot include them in this review due to their graphic nature.
5.0 out of 5 stars BEST HALF HOUR SHOW AROUND, September 17, 2011
This review is from: Entourage: The Complete First Season (DVD)
Thius is one of the best series ever. We get to follow a rising Hollywood star and his entourage through the ups and downs of the business. It is well worth your time and money to get this one and go on to the the other seasons. Great Comedy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

An outstanding first season. Introduces all the characters we’ve come to know and love over the years. Smart, pithy dialogue in a gorgeous Hollywood setting. I loved it.

I saw an episode of Entourage and wanted the whole season, but I didn’t want to spend a lot. I was really excited to find this set, especially for the price! It arrived in the mail in the expected amount of time, and I got to watch it as soon as I got home. Yay!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fag?, March 5, 2011
This review is from: Entourage: The Complete First Season (DVD)
I’m only on Season 1 Episode 5 and they have used the word “fag” in 3 episodes. I find that offensive and tasteless! It’s the 21st century already…

2.0 out of 5 stars This is creativity?, August 15, 2010
This review is from: Entourage: The Complete First Season (DVD)
If the earth opened up and swallowed the young men portrayed in this series, the world would be better off. They strut. They preen. They boast. Their values are cars, houses, sexual conquests. They make decisions on what movies people will watch. They cannot utter a sentence without profanity.
Why anyone would find this series entertaining is beyond me. The production values are good, but that’s about all one can say for it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Entourage Season 1 DVD, July 1, 2010
This review is from: Entourage: The Complete First Season (DVD)
I originally purchased Season 1 on UMD for my PSP and watched it numerous times. Since I had no way to view my PSP on my TV, I decided to purchase the DVD set so I could share the experience with my friends. Low and behold the DVD set was woefully missing scenes in each episode to the point where I couldn’t watch them. Does anyone know why that is? I mean they cut out some very funny scenes that made the episodes make more sense. Very disappointing
