Welcome to Pleasantville!

Pleasantville.
Familiar faces include Reese Witherspoon, Toby Maguire and that women who played the mom in Malcom in the Middle.



"A brother and sister from the 1990s are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves trapped in a 1950s style television show. Here they have loving parents, old fashioned values, and an overwhelming amount of innocence and naivete. Not sure how to get home, they integrate themselves into this "backwards" society and slowly bring some color to this black and white world. But as innocence fades, the two teens begin to wonder if their 90s outlook is really to be preferred."

It was truly surprising how many truths about society were laid bare in this film.  Everything about this film was unexpected, and it was an absolute joy to watch - I can't believe I had never heard about it before now!
