Description: Fans of Laguna Beach will love the first season of The Hills, which follows Laguna's Lauren Conrad as she attends fashion school in Los Angeles and works as an intern at Teen Vogue magazine. OK, so that's the premise for this quasi-reality MTV series. But in reality, the show is an excuse to watch pretty young people make out, break up, get back together, and break up some more. The show has more in common with a daytime drama than a documentary; none of the subjects worries too much about paying rent for their glamorous apartments or designer clothes. But when it comes to dating, the Geneva Convention could learn a thing or two about negotiating from these gals. Lauren fans may be dismayed to learn that Jason, the monosyllabic Lothario who cheated on her in the second season of Laguna Beach is back. And instead of going on dates with the thousands of young men who would love to have a pretty blonde on their arms (and get the opportunity to appear on TV to boot!), Lauren allows Jason to get back into her good graces--even though he hasn't matured since high school. Or figured out how to treat a woman. Or learned how to talk better. It's actually heartbreaking watching her struggle with a relationship that we can all see is doomed. Or is it? The season finale ends with the kind of dilemma we all wish we could've faced when we were 19 or 20: spend the summer working in Paris or move into a beach house with your boyfriend and frolic on the beach for three months. Paris? Jason? Hmmmm. You'd think that'd be a no-brainer. Also on hand to offer support are Lauren's friends Heidi and Audrina. The cast always looks chic and freshly made up (even after getting out of bed) and the cameras somehow always manage to be in the right place to capture romantic moments (and drama). It's easy to make fun of this show because of the preposterous setup that this sun-kissed life is reality for a group of kids who don't seem to have to work that hard for their privileged lives. But therein lies the guilty pleasure. We know it's a fantasy created by MTV. And while we would kill for the rocking apartments, cars, and clothes, there is no way most of us would endure being publicly humiliated to get 15 minutes of fame. --Jae-Ha Kim

Review Summary: Love The Hills! |
Date: 2008-09-14 |

Details: My sister and I loved Laguna Beach and especially Lauren Conrad (L.C.). I was deployed in 2006, when The Hills Season 1 aired, but my sister told me about the show and said that I would like it. Once I returned from my deployment, MTV wasn't airing the episodes any more. As soon Season 1 came out, I purchased it on dvd; now I own all three season's! I'm a faithful watcher of The Hills! I am currently deployed, but I plan on buying Season 4 as soon as it's released on dvd! |

Review Summary: Not bad at all... |

Details: The storyline isn't that unrealistic and it's not always about shallow things or subjects.It's pretty realistic to me (when you're a wealthy person) and the characters are facing normal 20 something issues.I know,it's a little bit cliché sometimes but it has to be this way,after all,it's a 20 year old girl point of view on life.The only thing I'm complaining about is,and still is these days,THE CHANGING OF SONGS! Does MTV don't have enough frickin' money to afford songs by Ashlee Simpson,Good Charlotte or Imogen Heap?!Even Everybody Elses's song rich girl,poor girl was replaced! God!enough already! A SHOW WITHOUT IT ORIGINAL SONGS IS NOT THE REAL ONE,IT'S LIKE A MOVIE,MUSIC IS A VERY VERY IMPORTANT THING!... |

Review Summary: What's life like after Laguna Beach? College life, living on your own and more and more drama! |

Details: Did I mention all of the drama these fun white girls get into and involved in? Lauren Katherine Conrad by far is my favorite character as she was on Laguna; very , very friendly, sweet, a great friend, down to earth, fun and just so darn love-able. ^_^
But you soon realize that she gets back stabbed at every other turn and her heart breaks over and over. I guess we have that in common!
This drama-fest takes place in Los Angeles, California for a while...she meets Audrina there, and they become close. After a while, she is offered a job behind-the-scenes at a modeling agency. She decides to move to San Fransisco and then the drama starts soon after she meets Heidi.
Heidi meets Spencer, who tries to tear the now-best-friends apart, like my cousin's girlfriend did. See the similarities? Anyway, after some odd lonely nights, Lauren finds the sexy Brody, and they end up sharing their interests, digging each other and totally hooking up. Then, another "friend" of Lauren's hooks up with Brody on New Years Eve. Lauren has HAD it with her, and thinks Brody isn't the problem; it's Jen who has been a friend since childhood.
Drama, drama, drama, drama. But it's fun. Especially if you liked Laguna Beach and what it entailed.

Details: I have no idea why I am so drawn to this show. Like another reviewer, I am a 35 year young professional woman that cannot stop watching the show. Whatever the reasons, The Hills is addicting to watch. I would recommend the show to anyone who wants an easy story line, pretty people and the gorgeous back drop of California to make them smile. |
