Description: Laguna Beach, the MTV hit about real-life rich kids in the coastal Orange County town, is too real to be a soap opera and too fake to be a reality series--and therein lies the rub. At least if Laguna Beach were a scripted drama, you could buy the suspended disbelief that a crush would just happen to appear in front of you as you're saying, "I wonder what he thinks about me." Or if it were truly a reality series, you can forgive the repeated exclamations of "This is going to be soooo fun, I am soo excited, you guys!" But because producers pull one too many puppet strings to heighten drama and add exposition, the sudsy guilty pleasure can be hard to watch. After all, how many times in a week can two guys pause in the middle of skateboarding to discuss their feelings? (This is addressed in the post-show interviews, where cast members spill that they're ordered to alert producers when they're about to dump someone so they can film the action in time.) Nonetheless, season two builds in addictive nature courtesy of alpha female Kristin (Cavallari, who later wound up a tabloid staple), now the narrator. She's the spice to season one narrator LC's sugar, a Mean Girl without the moral lesson. (Ironically, home movies featured on the DVD show Kristin, age 2, dressed as a witch for Halloween.) She unabashedly breaks hearts, "hooks up" with her friends' crushes, misleads her hangdog ex Stephen, and bashes rival blondes. If Kristin had less sense, she'd actually be a perfect match for perennial cheater Jason, whose "hotness" remains inexplicable given his inability to ignore his hormones. Don't miss Jason's interview in the bonus features, in which he repeatedly uses the words "bad," "stupid," and "I wasn't thinking" when confronted about his many dalliances. Aside from the theatrics, this gang encounters prom, spring break trips to Mexico, graduation gifts from Tiffany, and charity fashion shows. College and parents are non-entities; "the new girl" comes with a lavish mansion, backstabbing gossip, and a personal hairstylist who gives her Barbie mop-locks. But for fans who know drama all too well, the Laguna Beach crew represents high school in Fantasyland, where your friends just happen to be beautiful and rich. -Ellen A. Kim

Review Summary: Laguna Beach |
Date: 2008-02-10 |
|
| |
Details: Very disappointed not with the DVD but the product. We can only view via our PC & not TV because of the different region on our DVD player. We have gone to no end of trouble to try to sort it & all we can do is burn it to play on our TV. I have bought One Tree Hill & had no problems so didn't expect this. Had same problem with The Witness & Almost Famous.
I hesitate to buy anything further through Amazon. |

Review Summary: Life above surface is Surreal, Life below surface is just the Same |

Details: I like to watch this TV series for one simple reason - try not to feel jealous about how material/pretty their life may look like, feel happy for the fact that all of them have to grow up and go through all the necessary phases in their life like the others with no exception.
Growing up takes time and i am sure today, these teenagers are no longer the same as yesterday!

Review Summary: THE most immature brats ... :-( |
Date: 2008-01-14 |

Details: What a group of idiots. I've never seen a more ignorant, immature bunch of brats in my life. All they do is vacation because heaven forbid they go get real jobs. Then they winge to each other about the same stuff day after day after day after day ... They rehash the same boy issues over and over and for a change of pace, the guys are more mature than the idiot girls. When Kristin and Stephen have their talk about her seeing another guy, there is no dialogue because they are both too stupid to think of something to say, and then what happens? She drives off in her car on the phone (very safe driving) and mouths off about him to her friend and every other word is 'like'. If they say 'like' one more time, I might scream. And who the heck pays for their vacations etc? Their parents who if had been present in their lives more, might have raised better kids. These kids might be rich, but their lives are boring because all they do is hang out with the same people (even those they hate) at the same places all the boring time. Why don't they read a newspaper or do something else intelligent to broaden their narrow minds and bring more varied conversations to this show.
Don't waste your money on this rubbish. The only 'intelligent' one in the bunch (and certainly the nicest) is Lauren and her show "The Hills" is a zillion times better. Like totally. |

Review Summary: Laguna Beach is the best |

Details: I loved season 1 that I had to have season 2. I couldn't find season 1 in stores where I live but was able to find season 2. Season 2 has so much drama. I would recommend any one to buy it especially if you like season 1. Kristin being the narrator makes it so much better. I love Kristin and her attidude, she may be b*tchy and all but thats what makes the show, she knows what she wants and don't want and she goes for what she wants. I fill sorry for Jessica, Jason treats her so badly. I have only owned season 2 for a couple of weeks and I have watch it more times then i can count, I can't wait till I get season 1 threw the mail. |
