I only got round to seeing this film last night, and I love it. Any other fans of it here?

Set by everconfused

Yeah, Tobey Maguire is excellent in it.

I love the contrast between colour and black and white. ^_^

It was on last night ^^ My brother was watching it, I didn't even know it was on for ages. He started taping it for me, so he taped the last 45 minutes or something. Wanna give me a plot outline so I know what's going on?

Here you are Igg, I got this off Imdb.

David, single, lonely and not happy with his life, flees reality by watching Pleasantville - a 1950's b&w soap opera, where everything is just...pleasant. His sister Jennifer, sexually far more active than her brother, gets in a fight with him about a very strange remote control - given to them just seconds after the TV broke by an equally strange repair man - and they suddenly find themselves in Pleasantville, as Bud and Mary-Sue Parker, completely assimilated and therefore black and white, in clothes a little different and with new parents...pleasant ones. David wants to get out of the situation as well as his sister, but whereas he tries to blend in (effortlessly, with his knowledge), she does what she likes to do. One event leads to the other, and suddenly there is a red rose growing in Pleasantville. The more rules are broken, the more colorful life gets in Pleasantville, USA.

Oh, I remember the Simpson's treehouse of horror parody with the plutonium rod in the remote control and they go into Itchy and Scratchy...yeah.

Yeah, that's it basically.

I watched it last night on TV. I thought this was a really good film with lots of different messages in it. Good acting as well.

Yeah, BBC 2. I wasn't going to watch it but we were having a late dinner and the kitchen TV doesn't have Sky so I put on Pleasantville and got hooked

Yeah, same here. (Apart from the late dinner and the kitchen TV not having Sky. ) I wasn't going to watch it, but I found myself enthralled.

Oh I saw this movie a long time ago...
I remember when we first got our DVD player, so my dad got a bunch of dvds to watch, and it was the second I saw...
I liked the movie, but I didn't even know Tobey Maguire played in the movie untill I saw the movie again on tv a while back, and recognized him from Spiderman.
