Editorial Review:
Sure it would be great to have it all, but at what price? For Vince, Eric, Drama and Turtle, life in Hollywoods fast lane can be an intoxicating ride. In Season Four, in fact, Eric and Vince have taken on new roles as producers. Will their film be hailed as a critical masterpiece, or will it end up on the trash heap of broken Tinseltown dreams?
Description of Entourage - The Complete Fourth Season:
The fourth season of Entourage follows Vincent Chase's quest for legitimacy (and Oscar) through his dream project, the Pablo Escobar biopic Medellin, whose development deal was the focus of season three. As expected, the production is riddled with troubles: Vincent (Adrian Grenier) and Eric (Kevin Connolly) clash over the ability of the film's director, Billy Walsh (Rhys Coiro), to handle the grand scale of a film. Eric even flies in Oscar-winning screenwriter Stephen Gaghan (playing himself) to the shoot in Colombia at Billy's request in order to rescue the script, only to send him home when Billy comes up with the ending himself. ("I've never had anyone pay me not to work before," says Gaghan in a hilarious cameo. "It was nice.") But as the pet project puts strains on their friendship, Eric finally takes a step off of Vince's coattails to become a manager in his own right; his first step is snagging actress Anna Faris (as herself) as a client (in true Hollywood form, after she hits him with her car). As buzz on Medellin ebbs and flows, Eric and Vince's agent, Ari Gold (Emmy winner Jeremy Piven) wheel and deal to lock in distribution and spin the behind-the-scenes drama to their advantage. Key to the negotiations is a swaggering, hotheaded studio magnate named Harvey Weinhald--the caricature is obvious--who threatens the life of any agent who double-crosses him. And that's right where our boys land, but is it a gamble that will pay off? The fourth season, as always, is rife with celebrity cameos (Dennis Hopper, the late Sydney Pollack, Kanye West), but the Medellin plot pushes out any chance for other Entourage cast members to get a storyline (Johnny Drama gets a condo! Buys a hat!), which ultimately becomes a detriment considering that Medellin, as the big finale at Cannes attests, may not have been worth all the hype. Bonus features include commentary by the cast and creators, a panel discussion, and the Medellin trailer, which with its slo-mo, self-important music and bad makeup, is a gem. --Ellen A. Kim
Entourage - The Complete Fourth Season Reviews:
Great Show! 
2009-09-15 - The product was delivered earlier than I expected so that first of all grabbed my attention and now makes me want to purchase more from Amazon. Also it came in new condition completely wrapped with no dents or dings to the product.
Overall it was a great season of Entourage to watch and if you haven't seen Entourage before, check it out. It's something that shouldn't be missed.
More of the Same--Is that a Bad Thing? (There is a Shift though) 
2009-09-15 - One of the things that surprised me when I first started watching ENTOURAGE was that you saw nothing of Vince's professional life. He shot movies but the show would end as he left to shoot something and then pick back up again when he returned. I thought that was a interesting choice and the show still worked.
But as each season appears, we're getting more and more involved in the process of making movies and it's really paying off for the series.
We're not only seeing them "film" Vince's projects now, we're even treated to the a "Making Of" featurette to kick off the 4th season.
Still love the show, still want to see more...still can't get enough of Ari Gold's antics and profanity-laden rants. I guess Jeremy Piven has several Emmys and you'll see why when he catch him as Agent Ari Gold. The idea of giving him Lloyd as a secretary was a gold mine in itself and their scenes, as usual, steal the show.
I don't know where they're going with this show...but I'm ready to go!
Great show
2009-07-30 - I love the show but, I wish there was more content on the dvds . . .
Something missing 
2009-07-22 - Compared with the first 3, season four seemed to lose a step or two. Still funny, but it just didn't click the way it has for me in the past. Perhaps all the great story lines have been used up. But then a lot of shows seem to flounder a bit after a few years and some success. There seemed to be more focus on Vince, E and Ari(he is starting to get on my nerves big time) at the expense of Turtle and Drama, who I think are the two funniest characters on the show. Hopefully Season 5 (and 6) will turn it around.
Trying to make a transition, some bumps but successful
2009-05-14 - After 3 stunning seasons of Entourage, the writers and producers seem to be trying to make a transition for the show and the characters. Episode 1 is the making of Medellin and the show uses a technique where the characters are talking to the cameras as a "ghost" reporter takes their points of view. It is very well done and the Season 4 is off and running.
As the season progressed, I found myself enjoying the shows, and here's the "but": They were going over much of the same territory. Yes, the guys have made some moves and changes, but there wasn't anything new developing. Ari is still stealing his scenes, and Lloyd is now coming around. There are some new character traits that are beginning to show - especially with Ari, but not enough to give the show its edge back.
That is, however, until episode "Snow Job" begins. Everything changes. The writers have made a successful transition to an entirely new level. The season's finale, "The Cannes Kids" blows the doors off. The writing is superb, the filming is getting better and better. This is the best 30 minute show on television. Can't wait to begin Season 5.
