| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
A brother and sister are magically transported into their TV set and the black-and-white world of a '50s sitcom called Pleasantville, where every- thing is swell. Soon, they infiltrate this perfect environment with their worldly sensibilities, and the facade is easily cracked. Excellent per- formances and a striking visual design (the black-and-white world and its people slowly acquire color) spark this satire, which bites off more than it can chew, becoming slow and somber. Anyway, hooray for Don Knotts! Directing debut for screenwriter Ross.

I think this movie is excellent, and metaphorically comments on life and human nature.
