The lads of TV show Entourage are back for a movie, and are just as outrageous. Entourage is effectively the young man's Sex and the City.

Fans of the television show Entourage are unlikely to be disappointed in the movie version, which follows the directorial debut of young movie star Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his close friends and family as they try to make it even bigger in Hollywood.

The movie is packed with so many fleeting cameos, you could even play a game with your movie date to count them all. (Ensure you keep your eyes open for child actor now-all-grown-up Hayley "I see dead people" Joel Osment!)

The television series' characters all return for the movie and if you weren't already fans of them, you probably will be.

Vince, his pals, Eric (Kevin Connolly), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), brother Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), and former agent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven), who now runs a major movie studio, each have a personal dilemma they attempt to overcome in the midst of the bright lights of Hollywood.

Ironically, the entire Entourage premise is focused on an up-and-coming movie star who happens to have his mates at his side.

But in the movie, Vince's character is practically overshadowed by the antics of his friends who keep the laughs and drama rolling while Vince looks pretty and throws pool parties.

Another big drawcard for the movie is it delivers plenty of star-studded power, pretty faces and laughs but there's zero action -- other than bikini-clad hotties dancing it up at the pool party or the action you get between the sheets.

Don't get me wrong. It's an entertaining watch, and easily so. But it's a little bland.

I didn't dislike the movie, but I wasn't exactly glued to my seat.

I'd strongly recommend Entourage to a group of lads or ladettes.

Entourage
(R16), 104 minutes
