"Shot documentary-style and utilizing hand-held cameras to film cast members, The Hills [is]...a frothy, harmless show for the teen set." Ian Visser, DVD Verdict
"A carefully massaged spinoff of sorts from "Laguna Beach," the series relocates flaxen-haired Lauren to the hills above West Hollywood..." Brian Lowry, Variety
"Like "Laguna Beach", "The Hills" is a good guilty pleasure." Brian Oliver, Movieman's Guide to the Movies
"...one of MTV's better reality efforts, as it follows L.C. and friends as they face the eternal struggle of how to effectively balance work and play." CurrentFilm.com
"...the definition of a guilty pleasure. The Hills meets every requirement of a soap opera but it is played out against the real world with the actual people in the roles." Home Theater Info
Editor's Note
The star of the glamorous MTV hit "reality" series LAGUNA BEACH (season one) heads for the more adult tinsel of Los Angeles in THE HILLS.

Meanwhile, Lauren's friends--Whitney, Audrina, and Heidi--face dramas of their own as they try to balance romance, friendship, and career in fast-paced Hollywood. Will they be able to weather the storm? This collection presents the entire third season of the series.

| | Professional Reviews | Variety 6 of 10
MTV sends out new reality programs for advance review only sporadically, and after witnessing an exercise in unrelenting vacuity like "The Hills," it's easy to understand why. A carefully massaged spinoff of sorts from "Laguna Beach," the series relocates flaxen-haired Lauren to the hills above West Hollywood, where she lands a "killer internship" at Teen Vogue while being surrounded by a new cast of beach-blanket-bingo friends. All told, it's "The Simple Life" with less substance, featuring youths that have clearly studied both the reality TV manual and "The OC" to perfect their "characters"...Granted, MTV is peddling a certain lifestyle and image with its reality fare, and virtually all reality shows set in Southern California indulge in cartoonish stereotypes, a la Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Orange County." - Brian Lowry
