Description
Afterwards three months shooting an indie film in the Big Apple, the boys are back in La-la-land. Eric is officially Vince?s manager, Turtle is running the house, Drama is hoping to increase his onscreen assets...and Ari is pushing a blockbuster superhero role for his golden-boy customer.
The much clever thing producers did together with the second season of Entourage, HBO's hip and hilariously accurate depiction of Hollywood, was to get 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 this 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 would like 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 looks 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 together 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 capability to switch sides on a dime -- this is, to choke up at his daughter's bat mitzvah, then manipulate the family moment into a publicity stunt to lure his customer away from a rival, continues to do 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--this it takes a village to do any Joe Actor into a movie star) .

Unfortunately the DVD features no commentary and just one more: 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 speak-show host career in Vince's future. --Ellen A. Kim

By Christopher Dionisopoulos
Season 2 of Entourage gives the feel and show of what it's like to be on top in Hollywood. With Vince being a huge success in QB premiered at the Sundance Festivlal he is given the role of Aquaman, which is to be directed by James Cameron. About midseason the show focuses on Vince's love life and his dealings with his new underwater co-star and former girlfriend, Mandy Moore. Meanwhile a new house formerly owned by Marlon Brando, a brand new Maserati, calve augmentation, Bob Saget, and X-box tournaments keep the rest of the crew busy. While money is a huge factor in this season, the boys keep on moving along without much of it. Towards the end of the season Vince and Mandy reunite, and once again break apart which creates a hectic and nerve racking end to the season. This season is exactly
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Worth watching for Piven and Dillon   2009-12-23

I happened upon this at the library; yet another tv series I knew next to nothing of (watching almost no tv will do that). But I've always laughed at Piven elsewhere, and HBO is the best at letting writers write, so I gave it a shot; season two was all they had, so I started here.

I didn't know the backstory of season one but it became pretty clear, and the characters grew on me within a few shows, as the writing is hard to not like--- quick and barbed and crisp. I'd heard that Ari Gold is based on Ari Emanuel, real-life Hollywood sleazebag agent (and brother of Obama's top aide...you do the math), so I was amazed to see how much of a weasel they portray him as.

I was immediately reminded of the classic character Peter Dragon, Jay Mohr's similarly nasty agent in the short-lived cult series Action (worth watching for any fans of this show, and clearly its predecessor). Gold and Dragon are cut from the same cloth, where greed and ego are woven into one slick, shiny surface. Piven is perfect, and very funny at moments.

But what grew on me most as the shows went by was Kevin Dillon's sense of humor. Despite flashing back constantly in my mind to his brother Matt's role in Something About Mary, I found myself looking forward to every line from Dillon. The guy becomes this character flawlessly, and his lines are much more subtly humorous than Piven's. Something about him just cracks me up; his lack of guile is at the top of the list. While Piven gets better lines that are sure-fire laughs, Dillon makes even more of his and ends up being the highlight of the show for me.

The best episode is the one written by Larry Charles, of Borat and Seinfeld fame. Now that's some edgy, funny writing. Watch for it in the middle of the season.

I'll check out the first and next seasons, purely for Piven, Dillon, and the solid writing.

By E. Soler Jr. (Bronx, New York)
Great Season 2 another one filled with laughs but this time it looks like they added more drama into the mix, which makes the show even more interesting. I love this show.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Fascinating!   2009-11-14
By AvgMom2 (Long Island, NY)
Continuation of behind-the-movie look at Hollywood. Great scripts that never leave the viewers bored. Great casting with believable characters that viewer can identify with. The show highlights beautiful LA where rich and famous hang out and lived. Absolutely fascinating! Season 2 has three disks and the setup is much easier and faster to get to each episode. It has a special bonus feature where the executive producer Mark Wahlberg interviews the cast and other production members. Mark allows his star to talk and doesn't steal the show - what a guy! Great show all around.
