Advantages: well presented, great ensemble cast Disadvantages: if you hate Shirley Temple, this is a no go
Christmas is fast approaching, and one of the things that must be crossed off any shopping list for the season is stocking stuffers and "filler gifts". Filler gifts are basically inexpensive gifts to balance out between the children so that if for any reason, the "gift pile" looks uneven, little inexpensive bits of happiness can be unwrapped. Filler gifts also sit in the box ready to be handed out for those unexpected moments when someone else's ... ...it would b rather rude not to reciprocate in some way. This happens to us every year, so it is best to be prepared!
For these little filler gifts, books and DVDs seem to be the most popular to receive, and thankfully, there are many excellent DVDs out there to had these days that cost very little. I like to go with classics, as most children seem to get the latest blockbuster as soon as it comes out, and as TV seems to not air these like they used ...

...but one I do think the boys will appreciate too.
There are lots of cameo's by some quite famous people as well such as the Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and the designer Valentino.
I have read the book as well and loved that so definitely wanted to see this DVD. It does differ from the book but I am not going to tell you how but I think you will be pleased with how they have done the screenplay.
The DVD has some great extra features. These are:
13 deleted scenes
Gag reel - this is extremely funny
A running commentary from the films costume designer
NYC fashion
Getting Valention
The film is rated a 12 as it contains mild language and runs for approximately 104 minutes.
A definite must see...

...So what exactly is The Hills?
The Hills isn't a film or TV drama but it is a reality programme produced by MTV. It follows the lives of four girls living in Los Angeles. The show isn't scripted and everything that happens within the show is actually the girls' real life.
Fans of Laguna Beach will already be familiar with Lauren Conrad. After appearing in MTV's reality programme Laguna Beach, Lauren, (or LC as she was formally known by her friends) has moved to Los Angeles for a new life in the city.
The Hills is a spin off to Laguna Beach, and also follows three other girls, Heidi, Audrina and Whitney.
The show began filming in August 2006 over a nine month period and shown on MTV before being released onto DVD. Even though it is now two years old, for some reason it has only just been released onto DVD in the UK.

Plot: Although the rough-and-ready Allan Dwan was at first underwhelmed about the idea of working with the 1930s child star, his collaboration with Temple turned out to be a pleasure for both. She stars as the title character in this adaptation of the children's classic. Set in the Swiss Alps during the 19th Century, the film opens with Heidi's Aunt Dete (Mady Christians) taking her to live with the girl's grandfather Adolph Kramer (Jean Hersholt), a rather ill-tempered hermit. Although the old man at first refuses to speak to the girl, he soon grows to love her. When Pastor Schultz (Thomas Beck) tries to persuade Kramer to bring the girl to church, he angrily refuses at first, but finally relents, and the two are accepted into the local community. Heidi's aunt suddenly returns, kidnapping the girl and taking her to the home of her wealthy employer Herr Sesemann (Sidney Blackmer), in Franfurt. He needs a child to spend time with Klara (Marcia Mae Jones), his invalid daughter, since he's often away on business. Heidi soon tries to escape, while her grandfather has already begun the 100-mile journey to Franfurt to find her. This amiable version of the classic features a top-drawer cast of character actors, and Dwan keeps thing moving along briskly.
