Product Description
Explores the life of a young Los Angeles actor, his close group of friends, and his agent.
Entourage's fifth season leaves our movie star in a pickle: his big Oscar shot, Medellin, is a dismal failure, and Vincent (Adrian Grenier) has burrowed away to Mexico to drown his sorrows in booze and women. How does a once-promising actor get his confidence, legitimacy, and bankability back? That's the key premise this time around, and like some of its previous seasons, is always more interesting when Vince is struggling than when he's on top. Once his crew--manager Eric (Kevin Connolly), big brother Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), agent Ari (Jeremy Piven), and driver Turtle (Jerry Ferrara)--convince Vince to get back in the game, he finds many once-welcoming doors closed. He eagerly takes a meeting with Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont (playing himself), only to feel insulted when he finds it's for a TV pilot. (His subsequent options? Appearing at a Sweet Sixteen party and doing a Benji movie.) Once a promising script about firefighters (called Smokejumpers) piques Vince's interest, ensuing episodes become a complex chess game of job-hopping, backdoor-dealing, and back-scratching, which is always Entourage's strength. As Vince watches his star fade, Grenier gets a chance to let his sunny optimism crack, even sitting in Ari's office and begging to be told he's a good actor. The celebrity guest stars are plentiful and more integral this season. Jason Patric--playing himself--lampoons his difficult on-set reputation brilliantly as Vince's co-star in Smokejumpers. (The onetime Speed 2 star brags about being offered the lead in Aquaman 2, but turned it down: "Sequels, water: they're not for me.") Stellan Skarsgard (Good Will Hunting) plays a famous German director who clashes with Vince; Jamie-Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos) cameos as a new love interest for Turtle; Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) reprises her Season One role as an aspiring singer, and Eric Roberts plays himself (who happens to deal 'shrooms on the side) in a wacky episode involving the guys' drug-fueled night of reflection at Joshua Tree. Even Mark Wahlberg, the show's producer and inspiration, plays himself in a golf scene with former agent Ari (priceless line: "What about when you told me you liked The Truth About Charlie?"). The only unwelcome cameo is in "Seth Green Day," in which the actor turns up for no other reason than to re-surface his war with Eric and annoy everyone to death. Extras include cast commentaries and a behind-the-scenes featurette. --Ellen A. Kim Stills from Entourage: The Complete Fifth Season (click for larger image)

 Keeps Me Jumping January 27, 2009
Roger P. Davis (Pearland, Texas)
68 out of 77 found this review helpful
I am 82 years old and this series has kept me jumping. The first three season were great, but the boys really hit their stride in the fourth season. The humor in this segment with Drama and Turtle is some of the best I have seen. The sub characters which are inserted from time to time are well cast. Dom and Billy come to mind. Outstanding in his ongoing role is Ari's secretary. I like the way in which Doug Ellin keeps two to three stories going within each segment, but ties them all together. The fast pace is a key element in holding your interest. I feel the best defined parts are Ari, Drama, Vince and Turtle. There is something lacking in E. I like him, but he needs to become less boyish. I hope I don't run out of steam before the series ends. How about another 7 or 8 years. If you guys will hang in I 'll certainly try. RD
Another Great Season - Watch All The Others As Well January 5, 2009

As a dedicated Entourage fan since season one, I am waiting anxiously for Season five to be released on dvd / blueray. Doug Ellin has crafted a masterful show, that keeps you coming back for more every week. My only gripe is that half hour the show runs goes by way too quickly, but is worth every minute. As always the guest stars were a plenty, from Martin Scorsese to Jamie Lynn Seigler. I have only high praise for the entire cast, as proven by Jeremy Pivens award winning performaces as best supporting actor in a comedy or drama.
Season six will premier druing the summer of 2009, and it can'tcome too soon. If you haven't watched Entourage before, buy the Seasons 1-4 box sets, sit back and enjoy. You'll watch then over and over just to make the time pass quickly until Season six airs.
Join the Entourage and learn to love livin the life.

This is an awesome season that really takes the show to a new level. The guys go through a tough time to come on top. Season 6 only gets better baby !!!!
Long may Entourage continue! September 11, 2009

The fifth series of the wonderful HBO series 'Entourage' brings Vinnie and his pals back to earth with a bump. After a disastrous showing of the film Vinnie put his heart into, series 5 shows just how transient fame can be, with Vinnie trying hard to dig himself out of the hole of 'has beens'. It doesn't go well, and you find yourself willing some good news for the hunky Vincent by the end of the series. More great acting, memorable characters and lines to laugh out loud to, and another good selection of extras on this DVD, including a great voiceover on the hilarious episode 'tree trippers'. See Ari spin out! With no Entourage on television where I live, I'm waiting with baited breath for series 6 to come out on DVD.
