Amazon.co.uk Review
Before Nicole Richie became a mum and prior to Paris Hilton's brief but well-publicised incarceration, there was the fifth season of The Simple Life. In these 10 episodes, the former frenemies are again best friends forever and wreaking havoc in a summer camp-type situation. Because this is a reality series (wink, wink), the high-maintenance blondes are placed in fish-out-of-water scenarios that poke a little fun at themselves, but mostly mocks the real "simple" people they're trying to fit in with (at least on camera). Though the show is called The Simple Life, Hilton and Richie go out of their way to complicate matters. When they help run a fat camp, the rail-thin ditzes sabotage their clients' weight loss goals by taking them out for junk food. They teach young pageant girls how to flip the bird. And we won't even get into the anatomy lessons. But none of that is as repugnant as when Hilton coaches an 11-year-old would-be Lothario to pick up women... using a six-year-old girl as bait.

There are plenty of actresses who aren't particularly good thespians, but they have a likable presence that makes them pleasant to watch on the screen. There is none of that here: Neither Richie or Hilton are good enough actors to make the viewer believe that any of this is real. And neither is interesting enough to make us forget that there really isn't a good reason to watch them do anything, especially when their humour is based on making fun of everyone who isn't them. That's not hot. --Jae-Ha Kim

Synopsis
Based on the simple premise of putting two extremely pampered, beautiful young women into situations most people would find highly ordinary, THE SIMPLE LIFE succeeds on the merits of its hilariously clueless protagonists. Everyone's favourite heiresses are back for another round of their outrageous hit reality series. This time the newly reunited best buds Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie head to summer camp. There, they embark on a montage of ridiculous adventures, trying out the roles of camp counsellors and more. Will they make it in the great outdoors? Find out with this collection of episodes presenting the entire fifth series.

"Okay, lay back and think of Unicorns"...
Says Nicole Richie with a very large syringe in hand, while attempting to give campers a shot.
Another brilliant scene and quote from Nicole Richie - The brains behind the series. This series has many funny scenes, but unfortunately has a lot of acted scenes too. Where the previous series had nothing but spontaneous narratives, which added to its greatness. This is a bit of a let down, all though it seems to be solely Paris Hiltons scenes, I'm sure Nicole didn't need a script. It's still a very funny series and if your a big fan of the previous series and probably more 1, 2 and 3 - this'll be very entertaining! Well worth buying!

i would give this dvd **************************************!!! that many stars!!!
