Two modern American teenagers are sucked into their television set and end up living in a black-and-white fifties sitcom. Bewildered by their new world's naivete and innocence, they slowly start to add color and spice to the town's life. Eventually, however, they begin to question their influence, wondering if their advanced 90's attitudes are really that much better than those of the innocent past. Sterling effects and stand-out performances make this commentary on modern life a poignant, entertaining effort. [More]

Reviews for Pleasantville
For a movie that makes such a big deal about color, Pleasantville is awfully black and white.
Endearing it definitely is, so much so that it's easy to overlook the simplicity, and the sly confidence trick that gets played on us.
Overcomes its moralising and occasional pomposity with magical photographic effects.
An innovative and ethically provocative film about free spirits and those who would keep them down.
One of the few recent Hollywood films out there that has used new digital technology to truly engage the viewer, and make possible a thoughtful story.
An inverted fish out of water tale - like taking a lion raised by sheep & putting it in the middle of the savannah.
It’s better that the filmmakers tried to do something different than make yet another pointless, witless, sterile comedy.
Supported by excellent production design and cutting-edge tech wizardry, this ingenious film is a clever multileveled parable about the Brave New World of modern life.
A life-affirming film that throws itself into fairy-tale territory only to tell you that there is no such thing as a fairy-tale.
This is a film that spells out its points to the viewer, somewhat like a second grade teacher reciting the moral of the story.
Both ambitious and simple-minded, Pleasantville combines technical sophistication with a rather limited imagination.
