To sign 'entertainment', start with both hands in open '5' handshapes with your fingers spread apart. Hold your hands in front of your chest with your palms facing toward your body. Move your hands in alternating circular motions, rolling them up, inward toward your chest, and back down, as if you are pedaling a bicycle backward with your hands.
To sign this, you would set up the context by signing 'movie', then 'good', and finish with the sign for 'entertainment' using the alternating circular motion in front of your chest.
Begin by signing 'party', then 'need', and follow up with 'entertainment'. Your facial expression should look slightly inquisitive or expectant to show that you are looking for something fun.

They are similar but distinct. 'Enjoy' is signed with flat hands rubbing in circles directly on the chest. 'Entertainment' or 'amuse' is signed with open hands making alternating circles in the air just in front of the chest, without making contact with the body.
Yes! This sign is very versatile and is commonly used for 'amusement', 'entertain', and 'entertainment'. The context of your sentence, along with your lip movements and facial expressions, will let the other person know which specific English concept you are conveying.
No, it doesn't matter which hand starts the upward motion. As long as the hands are moving in alternating, continuous circles—similar to pedaling a bicycle backward—the sign will be perfectly understood by anyone watching.
