CGiii Comment
This movie encapsulates everything that is wrong with (and in) Hollywood.
The ego-stroking is stomach-churning. The absurd cameos will make you dizzy.
Jeremy Piven had a mental breakdown when he agreed to do this. Kevin Dillon, laughing all the way to the bank, is an affront to the profession. As for the rest, why...Mark Wahlberg, producer...shame on you.
Doug Ellin...let this be an end to your directing career. What part of c-o-m-e-d-y do you not understand?!? Because, this is as far from comedy as you can possibly get.
Hopefully, this is the final nail in the Entourage coffin...cremate the master ASAP.

This movie picks up where the TV show ended. Vincent Chase is offered a role by his former agent now Studio boss Ari Gold in a movie he is developing. Vincent agrees on the condition that he be allowed to direct the movie also. Nearly a year later, Vince is uncertain if the movie is ready, so he asks Ari for money to finish the movie. But Vincent has asked for money more than once already and Ari's bosses are not happy of how much they're spending. But he goes to their backer to ask for more money and he wants to see what Vince has shot so far but Vince won't let anyone see it yet. But he's planning a screening, and asks the backer to come to L.A. with him but he can't so he sends his son instead. At the screening Vince decides not to show it. But gives out DVDS. The son after watching the movie, says he has issues with Drama, Vince's brother who has a small role in the movie. Vince is unwilling to drop him. When they appease the son, he then says he has issues with Vince.
This film serves as a follow up to the HBO series of the same name, which ended in 2011, about celebrity and the quintessential Hollywood lifestyle. Rex Lee returns as Lloyd, the gay former assistant of lawyer-turned-studio executive Ari, who wants Ari to give him away at his wedding. After ignoring Lloyd and making derogatory jokes every time he speaks, Ari does eventually give Lloyd away in a mid-credits scene likely missed by much of the audience. George Takei, appearing as himself, marries Lloyd and his husband Greg, played by openly gay Olympian Greg Louganis in another of the film’s many celebrity cameos. None of these characters have any influence on the plot.
Why bother? It was made for teen-girls...their only concerns: boys and spots.
