Fantastical writer Gary Ross (Big, Dave) makes an auspicious directorial debut with this inspired and oddly touching comedy about two '90s kids (Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon) thrust into the black-and-white TV world of Pleasantville, a Leave It to Beaver-style sitcom complete with picket fences, corner malt shop, and warm chocolate chip cookies. When a somewhat unusual remote control (provided by repairman Don Knotts) transports them from the jaded real world to G-rated TV land, Maguire and Witherspoon are forced to play along as Bud and Mary Sue, the obedient children of George and Betty Parker (William H. Macy and Joan Allen). Maguire, an obsessive Pleasantville devotee, understands the need for not toppling the natural balance of things; Witherspoon, on the other hand, starts shaking the town up, most notably when she takes basketball stud Skip (Paul Walker) up to Lover's Lane for some modern-day fun and games. Soon enough, Pleasantville's teens are discovering sex along with--gasp!--rock & roll, free thinking, and soul-changing Technicolor. Filled with delightful and shrewd details about sitcom life (no toilets, no double beds, only two streets in the town), Pleasantville is a joy to watch, not only for its comedy but for the groundbreaking visual effects and astonishing production design as the town gradually transforms from crisp black and white to glorious color. Ross does tip his hand a bit about halfway through the film, obscuring the movie's basic message of the unpredictability of life with overloaded and obvious symbolism, as the black-and-white denizens of the town gang up on the "coloreds" and impose rules of conduct to keep their strait-laced town laced up. Still, the characterizations from the phenomenal cast--especially repressed housewife Allen and soda-shop owner Jeff Daniels, doing some of their best work ever--will keep you emotionally invested in the film's outcome, and waiting to see Pleasantville in all its final Technicolor glory. --Mark Englehart

Customer Reviews of Pleasantville (New Line Platinum Series)

Just buy it!
If you've seen it, you know why you want to own your own copy. If you haven't seen it, you have one of the best films of the last 15 years awaiting you. It helps if you were a child of the '50s, but it's not essential.


Great movie!
What more can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said? It's truly a great movie. Great script, great direction, etc. Yeah, it's a little on the quirky side, but it's a clever and very entertaining kind of quirky. <

>Plus, the cast in this is also very good. I've liked Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon ever since they were in the Mouseketeers together.

> <
>The introvert and the extrovert, brother and sister, get "pulled" into a 1950s black and white TV sitcom, "Pleasantville." They also bring new ideas, and Pleasantville begins to change. Is it for the worse, or the better? <
