News Wire:

The cheerful fifties TV sitcom "Pleasantville" is revived in the nineties
for a loyal cable audience. One devoted fan is shy suburban teen David
Wagner, who has an almost obsessive interest in the series. Living with his
divorced mother, David sometimes has disputes with his ultra-hip twin sister
Jennifer. She wants to watch @MTV just when a Pleasantville marathon is
about to begin. They struggle over the remote control, and it breaks.

A strange TV repairman supplies their new remote, a potent high-tech device
which zaps David and Jennifer inside Pleasantville, where their new sitcom
parents are businessman George Parker and wife Betty.

As "Bud" and "Mary Sue," the teens take up residence in a black-and-white
suburbia where sex does not exist and the temperature is always 72 degrees.
Life is always pleasant, books have no words, bathrooms have no toilets,
married couples sleep in twin beds, the high school basketball team always
wins, and nobody ever questions "The Good Life." David revels in
Pleasantville's Prozac-styled peacefulness. He fits right in, but Jennifer's
1990s attitude upsets the blandness balance, painting parts of Pleasantville
in "living color." Repressed desires surface, cracks appear in the fifties
lifestyles, and the Pleasantville populace finds their lives changing in
strange, wonderful ways. It's liberating, but there's also a darker side.
