Summary: Stupid is...
Comment: ...as stupid does. Of course I have no idea if these girls are truly dumb, but if I had to base my opinion on these movies I'd have to say 'yes'. That being said, the series is pretty entertaining. I find amazing the way these girls treat people, the people who open up their homes to them and just folk in general. They act like teen age kids who have had no direction or parental influence in their lives. Just because you are extremely well to do does not mean that you should not have basic manners or social skills. I understand that this series is meant as entertainment and not really a look at the girls 'real' lives, but it sure serves as a clue what those lives must be like. And hey, if I inherited a ton of money, who's to say I wouldn't become just as irresponsible? I will note that in the later series, the girls often gifted the families they stayed with with some pretty nice stuff, so I suppose all is not lost. So, 3 stars for entertainment, -2 for embarrassment suffered while watching.

Summary: Not so interesting this time.
Comment: I have every season of The Simple Life and I have enjoyed the first seasons until season 4, when Paris and Nicole had their feud. But even though they didn't work together the season was fine. So now that they got together again to make season 5, I thought that the show was going to be really funny. But I really found it not so funny. This time they go to camp and there are not really fun scenes. I think that one of reasons can be, that they are in another stage of their lifes. I mean they are in their late 20's so making stupid things (Let's be honest. The show was fun because they were always making stupid things. Funny but stupid) is not so funny any more. And the other I think, was that there was nothing exciting in the stories that they made for this season.
I heard that season 5 is the closing season of the series. I think that it wasn't a good idea to end a show that had had success without closing it big.
Finally I must say that the DVD production is not good at all. It doesn't have special features. You can only find the usual DVD enhancements such as scene seletions or subtitles (this one includes subtitles in English, Spanish and French).
If you are a follower of the show, buy this one but if you want to buy a season for any reason. Try the first three seasons (the best ones for me are season 2 and 3).

Summary: Simple Life Goes To Camp Review
Comment: Product arrived in timely manner and was in excellent/new condition. Great addition to my Simple Life DVD collection, and would be great for anyone who likes a laugh! You don't have to be a Paris Hilton or Nicole Richie fan to watch the Simple Life, and it's fun to watch over and over again a great buy from Amazon!

Summary: Is this the end?
Comment: With the completely noticable scriptedness of Season 5, (the band that is supposedly Hunter's friends that he hires in the Season finale to woo Paris is the same band that Nichole uses for the little boys birthday party in Season 4- now I highly doubt that is a coincidence) the Simple Life still delivers laughs. Although not the strongest Season, it definately makes up for Season 4. But maybe it's time to call it quits girls. We love you, but you just aren't as funny scripted.

Summary: Not So Bad
Comment: This is the best season of the Simple Life, because this focuses more on the girls building people up, than them screwing things up. There are still some crazy moments, but more than the predictable "antics" of previous seasons, they are things that everyone can laugh at. Truly the closest "The Simple Life" comes to being heartwarming.
