Comedy "Entourage". Actors, known for the TV series "Handsome Men"

The film "Entourage" is a rare case of successful transfer of the series into a full-length film project. Director Doug Ellin, who wrote the script in co-authorship with Rob Whice, made a film of the famous popular TV series "Handsome Men", which was broadcast by the HBO channel - the comedy "Entourage". Actors for 8 seasons of soap opera did not bother the viewer, therefore they were invited and in full meter.

A pilot episode?

According to some world critics, the comedy is very similar to the pilot episode of the new season of the series, as much of the timekeeping of the picture goes to the background (retelling events of the past), and most of the humor is represented by the repetition of old successful gags. Such a structure of the narrative of the comedy "Entourage" (actors often stressed this fact in an interview with the media) simultaneously and pleases the dedicated fans of "Handsome", and explains to the unsophisticated viewers who is who. All without exception, the central characters of the film are fundamentally successful and very rich, and the villains, if they can be called so, are not dangerous. Spoiling the plot is not difficult, from the first minutes of the timing, it becomes clear to the beholder that the happy end is inevitable. However, this is not the main thing, the main thing is in the details, jokes, gags, skits and details.

Brief description of the plot

"Entourage" - a film whose story story is built on the life of Hollywood actor Vincent Chase and his friends: Eric, Turtles and Johnny. The history has all the traditional attributes of the world of Stars of the Dream Factory: expensive cars, money, girls, glory. Heroes return from oblivion together with their ex-agent, the current head of the studio Ari Gold. The action takes place in the most famous places in Los Angeles: in the elite Beverly Hills, at the Dream Factory - Hollywood, Burbank and Palos Verdese. During the shooting of the first frames of the picture "Entourage" actors had the opportunity to enjoy all the delights of Miami. As the house of Vincent was presented the Madonna's mansion on the Hollywood Hills. The brainchild of Doug Ellina is a film about the devotion, friendship and vicissitudes of fame and popularity. Luxury cars and chic women are a necessary entourage of history, their role is secondary.

Chase and Eric

The image of the big screen star Vincent Chase was embodied on the screen by Adrian Grenier. American musician, director and actor is familiar to the domestic audience for the films "Artificial Intelligence", "The Devil Wears Prada". But the worldwide popularity came to Grenier after participating in the series "Handsome". The actor plays the French horn and piano. Adrian Grenier - the main drummer, and sometimes the guitarist of The Honey Brothers. But his passion for music in no way interferes with film career.

His close friend Erik played Kevin Connolly. The actor began his career in less than 6 years, filming in commercials. Participated in film projects with Leonardo DiCaprio and Denzel Washington. In 2007, he made his debut as a filmmaker, presenting the movie Gardener of Eden to the film community. He played the role of secondary characters in "Champion", "Naked Truth", "Diary of Memory", "John Cue", "Stories of Antoine Fisher."

Drama, Turtle and others

Cheerful fat man, gourmet and witty Turtle played Jerry Ferrara. According to the actor, he is the perfect opposite of the hero, so he had to work hard to play this character reliably. Jerry Ferrara took an active part in all sorts of castings, but long remained unnoticed by Hollywood craftsmen. He is not as famous as other actors, although in his filmography there are such pictures as "Survivor" and "Think like a man".

American actor Kevin Brady Dillon for the role in "Handsome Men" was nominated for the Golden Globe, so it's hard to imagine anyone else in the image of Johnny Drama. The actor is known for his roles in the tapes: "Platoon", "Kinship", "Dorz", "Drop" and the series "Tales from the Crypt."

Ari Goldoma embodied on screen Jeremy Piven - the owner of three "Emmy" and "Golden Globe." American film producer, the actor starred in such films as "Intuition", "Family" and "Kozyrnye Aces."

Billy Bob Thornton (Armageddon, On the Hook, Judge) and Hayley Joel Osment ("The Sixth Sense", "Artificial Intelligence") were shown as the father and son of Larsen and Travis Mackreadle.

Summary

It is worth noting that the comedy Daga Ellina turned out to be easy and completely non-straining. She will certainly like both the fans of the series, and those who have no idea about "Handsome". Expect deep moral overtones or semantic load is not worth it. Even the actors who took part in the filming of the tape "Entourage" called it an excellent option for a pleasant pastime, recommending watching the film at the weekend in the company of the best friends. As a result, the whole film is like an endless elite party at a luxurious pool, whose guests, communicating, recall their youth, during which they shamelessly made fun of those who have now turned. Although for the joint viewing with children the comedy is difficult to recommend because of piquant moments.
