We knew this was coming: Entourage movie getting panned by critics

[Savior]

Does the show have a huge following? I'm not being a jerk by asking either that's a genuine question because i figure if it did have a huge following or at least as huge as Sex and the city since someone mentioned that as an earlier comparison, we wouldn't be having this discussion. HBO never releases numbers for their shows as far as ratings go so all we have is word of mouth but if that word of mouth comes from just people in your inner circle, how can you tell?

My belief? It's a niche show with a niche audience and a lot of them kinda aged out of it. My best friend was a huge fan when we were in college but he said once he graduated and now that we're 7 years removed from college, the show's appeal died off for him; that male fantasy of being in hollywood with women at your beckon and not a care in the world and no drama ever just doesn't resonate with him anymore. He said he feels like that's the fantasy of an 18-21 year old..maybe 22, but once you move on from that, get your career going, start thinking about a house and kids and a wife, shyt changes. Of course that's his take, I can't speak for it cause I'm not a fan, just observing.

I think if the show was truly that big of a hit and had that big of an audience, then it wouldn't have been so hard to get this movie made to begin with which it was. The studio would've instantly given it the green light rather than dragging their feet on it like they did and of course the numbers would've been there. Either the fanbase has dwindled over the 4 years the show has been off the air, or some people felt like my other boy: He doesn't want to see it on the strength of how he felt about the last season. He's got no desire to sit through it.

I think the other thing for Sex and the city, aside from being huge culturally, is the fact that at that time and even now, women don't get that many movies aimed specifically to them. So they came out but then again sex and the city 2 wasn't as big domestically as it was internationally so even then, the audience in the U.S. seemed to have said they had their full, they were ready to move on. So maybe the group that Entourage appealed to is just ready to move on too

I was pretty much gonna make this exact same post but u saved me the trouble . I watched every season of the show and enjoyed it at the time (except for the last 2 which were a disgrace). But I have no interest in watching the movie . Basically like u said I grew out of the concept. Everyone in college has the dream to live this life but once ur past it its like ehhhh....E and Turtle were really annoying as fukk through the whole show and Vince was kinda just there. Without Ari there would be no reason to ever go back and watch it. So basically it was good for the time but its fanbase just outgrew it so its not suprising the movie flopped.

My best friend said aside from aging out of it, he had no interest in being in a movie theater with a bunch of "dude bros"

Flops gonna flop. Delusional coli dudes saying it was going to be a hit. If anything I hope Ari career survived this piece of shyt. The rest of the cast will not be heard from again.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Did critics like Hangover too? It seems like they don't really like "bro flicks."

Probably because they're so stupid and lame.

Just got done watching the movie. I was rolling. shyt was hilarious. Way better then the last 2 seasons. The crew was clicking on cylinders. They focused on the homies, with the girls/love interest taking a backseat. Drama was a standout in the film. Hope they make a sequel. Watching this shyt me made a nikka sad though. Those first 5 seasons was classic. I wish HBO could somehow put this back on the air (with the writers from season 1-5)

The movie did remind me how much of a fukk boi E is

People clapped when the movie ended at my theatre. All in all, good movie though. Felt like a mix of season 5 and 6.

I don't know if anyone else noticed but how funny was seeing drama still using that head shot he did for free at the Apple store with Turtle during a workshop in season 2???

Had me geeking. My wife was like wtf u laughing at....

I when I saw the apple store logo and I liked the Dom cameo

how the fukk did dana gordon carry the show

i mean she was a good character, but what?

I wanted/want to impregnate dana

I never watched the series but I saw the movie last week and enjoyed it So I actually went back and watched the series from the very first episode and from Season 1-6 I actually enjoyed it..

But then when Vince started fukking Sasha Grey and became a cokehead in Season 7

Then that LAST season when it literally became a soap opera and they literally cut Ari's balls off and I was like

Then upon doing research on here..I saw that a chick took over as the main writer then sudden it made sense

That bytch took away EVERYTHING that made the show great and turned it into a R-Rated CW show. That last episode (with the exception of the post credit scene) left a bitter taste in my mouth.

The movie pretty much saved the series. Too bad it was a few years too late but for the fans it would have left them satisfied

Saw the movie again after watching the final episode and enjoyed it a little bit more. However I do agree that it should have been a HBO original movie special and released it on DVD later on.

just watched this shyt, and this is mediocre as hell.

at turtle being rich and still being vince's gopher.

probably shouldn't have made this movie TBH.

I would have NEVER paid to see this shyt tho.

 

[beenz]

btw, was hailey joel osment in there as the main antagonist of the movie???

should have gotten back to their usual fukkery. why not more billy walsh?????

the lloyd wedding was just some extra bullshyt that really didn't have any place in this movie either.

Finally watched the movie, and I wasn't really feeling it. Some funny stuff, but a lot of it seemed to forced for me.

I rewatched the series as I awaited a quality tip to surface, and this confirmed that the show was as great as I remember. I'm in the minority, in that I liked it all the way up until the end. The tone changed in the later seasons, and those are def the weaker seasons, but I still enjoyed them.

I hated the spoiled brat storyline in the movie (tho I do think Hailey Joel Osmet, or whatever his name is did a great job in the role), and the ending felt too fake and wack.

One question, tho, was this supposed to have taken place 6 months or 4 years later?

 

[yoyoyo1]

loved it brehs, was just like the show's peak. that's all i gotta say.


@ people saying they grew out of it - you've stopped dreaming, you're a loser and might as well kill yourself. did 2015 culture get to you? have to be a responsible man and settle down like a fukking fakkit?

@ people posting that "bro" video and making fun of the people who watch it. feminism has gotten to you that much huh, you can't hang out with your friends and talk about the stuff that interests you only cause now they have a derogatory name for "being a guy and liking what you like (no matter how base a pleasure it is) - you should all just grow up just like they people who grew out of it huh... i see. just become a tranny and start going on feminism marches like a responsible, socially-conscious adult. it's what the media says is cool now.

Finna watch this in a few minutes, despite never having watch a single episode of the show.

 

[ultimatemike]

movie was legit garbo

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Again what criticism of the concept of the show I'm complaining about ? I said the actor and the character he played is lazy. He had zero charisma to me. There is nothing to make want to see an Adrian Grenier movie in real life. He is bland . Drama and Ari carried that show along with Dana Gordon and Billy Walsh. Name an episode where Vince carried the show.

Show was called entourage breh. Dude outshining his entourage would pretty much go against the premise of the show
