Product Information
Two modern day teenagers find themselves in Pleasantville, USA, where there has never been any rain, hatred, aggression, tears etc. In fact it's just like a black and white 50s TV series. Slowly, however, the town is changing as real life creeps in - but not all of the population is happy with the change...Product Identifiers

ReviewsNew York Times - [An] ingenious fantasy....Ms. Witherspoon turns in a deliciously naughty performance, USA Today - Visually impressive., Sight and Sound - PLEASANTVILLE's ideas are visual and cinematic as well as theoretical, making it glorious entertainment., Rolling Stone - The film is a technical marvel....A visionary adventure., Total Film - Gorgeous effects and a top-notch cast....A funny, feelgood Hollywood movie.
Additional InformationTwo 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.
