David Wagner is a kid whose mind is stuck in the 1950s. He's addicted to a classic 50's sitcom television show called "Pleasantville". Pleasantville is a simple place, a place where all of its citizens are swell and simple-minded folks, a place where the word "violence", and life outside of Pleasantville, is unbeknownst to its inhabitants; things are perfect down in Pleasantville. One evening, the life of David and his obnoxious sister Jennifer take a bizarre turn when an eccentric repairman hand them a supposed magical remote. After a quarrel between the siblings, they inexplicably zap themselves into the world of "Pleasantville". Now, David and Jennifer must adjust to a 50s lifestyle of repressed desires and considerably different societal values while trying to find their way home.
Leave your thoughts about Pleasantville.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe kind of parable that encourages us to re-evaluate the good old days and take a fresh look at the new world we so easily dismiss as decadent. |
| Dallas ObserverBill GalloThis uncommonly clever, surprisingly poignant fairy tale packs a social wallop that we're not quite prepared for. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanfordthis smart, funny, visually dazzling film is the kind of moviegoing experience you're unlikely to forget. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumMagical, visually exciting, affecting even in its sincere hokeyness, and extremely provocative. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliNot only is Pleasantville a satire, a fantasy, and a visual marvel, but it's the best kind of feel-good movie. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneJeff StricklerThe lighthearted fable Pleasantville takes some pointed swipes at the make-believe world of 1950s TV -- and none too soon. |
| Film ThreatRon WellsRoss has come up with one of the best, most subversive, and definitely one of the most memorable films of the year. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinSomeday, maybe someday soon, someone in Hollywood is going to make a genuinely great movie about television as a metaphor for America. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonIngeniously conceived and impressively executed, Pleasantville is a provocative, complex and surprisingly anti-nostalgic parable. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardTo concentrate on the minor faults of a fable as beautiful and unusual as Pleasantville would be missing the point. |
