David (Tobey MaGuire) and his sister, Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon), live with their divorced mother in a
typical suburban home. Jennifer lives a life of promiscuity while David has no success with girls. Thus, David retreats to
his home after school and watches TV, especially "Pleasantville," a 1950s show where life is perfect and happy. In fact, he's
seen it enough, he knows every trivial aspect of the show.
One night, in an argument between the two, David and Jennifer break their only TV remote. Oddly, a TV repairman (Don Knotts) shows up immediately
and gives them a new, high tech remote. When he leaves, the 2 teens argue over the remote again & are somehow transported into the show.
David assumes the role of Bud while Jennifer assumes the role of Mary Sue. David loves his new situation, however Jennifer does not. The problems begin when they start
influencing the innocence of the people in the show and everyday routines start to change.
As the story progresses, more trouble arises & are people lose their innocence, they lose their black and white shades & turn color.
Pleasantville is the weirdest movie since The Truman Show (which i loved). But it's the most controversial i've seen in recent months! Filled with hidden messages & even obvious ones, this movie is both entertaining and possibly dangerous. Sexual references and themes range pretty high in this film. The language is typical PG-13 material, and the plotline is rather original.
