TV Review: Entourage Returns With "Aquamom" - Page 2

Before the dress search, while everyone's still at the radio station, as E, Turtle, and Drama are watching Vince's interview, two fine looking "sure thing" babes appear. They promise to put out if Turtle and Drama take them to the premiere. After much begging, Ari comes up with a pair of tickets, which he's taken from James Woods (because he never uses all of them anyway). When Woods demands all his tickets, Ari pretends he accidentally gave them to Vince. Woods knows how this works and heads over to boys' house.

Now, the inherent comedy of established actor James Woods chasing down a pair of tickets might seem a little surreal, but it sets up one of the funniest scenes of the show. Picture Woods banging on the door of the almost-famous Chase boys. Woods hears Drama and Turtle and starts yelling at them through the door. Insults fly, threats are made, and finally, an envelope appears in the mail slot. Turtle rags on Drama for "pussin' out", but Drama laughs, saying all Woods got was an envelope. He still has the tickets because there's no way he's giving up a chance at a "sure thing".

Since things rarely go right for the guys, you just know something's bound go wrong. And, of course, it does.

Ari finds out a check (a donation) to his kids' school bounced. Mrs. Ari (seriously, this is how she's listed in the credits) has to dip into her trust fund to cover the loss and to cover all Ari's expenses as he tries to establish himself as an independent agent. Ari begs his wife to believe in him, to believe in Vince, and to just get him the damn money.

As best friend and manager to Vince, Eric ("E") takes matters into his own hands and delivers the reluctant Mrs. Chase to California, accompanied by his and Turtle's mothers. This ruins any chance the gang had of getting laid.

This week's episode actually ended on a high note. As the episode ends, Vince is schmoozing on the red carpet, James Cameron's talking up the movie, Mrs. Ari tells her husband she believes in him, and the rest of the cast happily struts their stuff.

    Great write up Joan!

    I was thinking of writing a post on the show yesterday, but didn't. (Maybe I still will?)

    Anyway, fun times!

    Definitely write it up, MKW!

    And to quote Ari, "Let's hug it out, bitch"

    So much love for this show! Glad to find another fan. (I always feel so alone until someone else shows up)

    Great review! Entourage is easily the BEST show on television.
