Entourage (15)
three stars
Dir: Doug Ellin
With: Adrian Grenier, Jeremy Piven
Runtime: 104 minutes
THE boys from the hit television series are back in town with a big screen spin-off. Vince (Adrien Grenier) is still the centre of his entourage's Hollywood world but now he wants a new baby - his own picture to direct. Can super agent Ari (Jeremy Piven), promoted to studio boss, make even this fantasy come true? Welcome to the usual testosterone-drenched blend of buddy banter and bikini-clad ladies, with few concessions to the big screen move other than running time. But as ever, Piven's professional blow-hard Ari is a gas to watch and saves the show.

Dir: Thomas Cailley
With: Adele Haenel, Kevin Azais
Runtime: 98 minutes
THOMAS Cailley's French drama is a tale of opposites attracting to gently comic effect. Arnaud is an easy-going sort who crosses paths with Madeleine, a young woman who could start a fight in an empty house. With Madeleine seeing no future for the world, this relationship could be heading nowhere fast. More drama than comedy, Cailley's picture has trouble settling on the right tone but finds its own sweet and low-down way eventually.

TREVOR runs a gym in Texas. Kat is one of his instructors, while overweight Danny is out to transform his life now that he is in the money. Should be a menage a trois made in results heaven, if only all concerned were not as messed up as each other. Results is written and directed by Andrew "Mumblecore King" Bujalski (Mutual Appreciation) meaning it seems to be meandering all over the shop. If not a fan of the style, avoid. Otherwise, this hipster comedy drama offers a trio of engaging performances, from Guy Pearce as Trevor especially, and a few smiles besides.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
