Critic Reviews

50 People Weekly Tom Gliatto
Something like Entourage without the manic, kick-start fury of Ari Gold. [2 Apr 2007, p.37]
40 The New York Times Virginia Heffernan
Those who don’t like a rogue's progress, preferring to cluck from a distance over the skeevy habits of today’s rich bachelors, should skip "Sons of Hollywood."
30 Los Angeles Times Paul Brownfield
"Sons of Hollywood" is the answer to a question nobody was wondering: What if you did "Entourage" with actual Hollywood layabouts, without the writing and the acting and, you know, all that other work stuff?
30 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
Where the travails, conquests and bad behavior in "Entourage" come off as dramatic, clever and imaginative, "Sons of Hollywood" is just like any other celebreality show: More boorish behavior by rich people.
20 Variety Brian Lowry
An almost comically vacuous exercise.
0 Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
Here is the equation: privilege + TV cameras x 2 = unwatchability.
0 New York Post Adam Buckman
Yes, if you want to hear these bucketheads argue over who engages in this or that degrading sex act, then by all means watch "Sons of Hollywood." For me, however, watching this show was the equivalent of having my faced shoved into a toilet.
0 Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
Once again, reality TV invites us to marvel at the idiocy, futility, and self-destructive tendencies of the rich and famous. But this petty, home-movie-level material wouldn't even fly on YouTube.
