Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

leethomas-11621 Incredible production values. Toby Maguire holds everything together. Half an hour too long. Movie's premise not deep enough for 2 hours. Maybe it (the premise) needed to be expanded. David (Bud) hasn't come back to a different situation at the end. Why didn't I get emotionally involved with it? There is confusion about what the meaning of the coloration is - if its meaning had been clearer it would have been more effective. (viewed 10/16)

lisefriis I have probably watched this movie 30 times and never get tired of its message, the incredible acting, and the humor/emotion. Personally, I RARELY want to watch a movie more than once. This is a pick-me up, feel-good movie. The pacing is perfect. There are little surprises at every turn. You will be cheering. Little nods to famous scenes - as in "To Kill a Mockingbird" with the courtroom scene. It's just absolutely wonderful. My favorite actors in this movie are Jeff Daniels and Joan Allen for their scene together, but all do a fantastic job! Worth it. Watch it.

FireFan This movie has a definite charm about it. In the show, blending the withdrawn fantasies of the main character created by a harsh true life with the nostalgic yearning for a flawless existence seen only at a distance in a television program, supernatural consequences occur beginning with the unintended urges of the brother played by Tobey McGuire, when he and his sister start an unexpected argument. At odds with each other from the beginning, their escape into the TV sitcom Pleasantville reflects to the audience like a symbolic moral issue about the need to change for progress to happen and how a few brave souls can really make a difference. I am impressed to see actor Don Knotts in here since I was always amused at his comedies and his role on the Andy Griffith show. This movie has a great story line to build these ideas into it and Pleasantville ends up pleasant after all in a very opposite sort of way. Entertaining young people, and some old, as well as quenching viewers' curiosities about an earlier time, the film follows through logically and with nice acting too. Pleasantville represents an extraordinary displacement of events which will provoke viewers' wonder. Or it may be that it is contrasting an ordinary '50's life-style against an idealistic, yet inhibiting, make-believe world intending to argue the point of 'which is better'? Whichever perspective you want to approach it from, it stimulates a lasting impression on the movie-goer. This show is well worth trying for lighthearted fantasy entertainment intended to be seen by a wide spectrum of audiences.

ggitez Knowledge and liberalism are not same things. Your body is your business.Only your business and your life ; your private. If you love, show it only her or him and tell only one.If you love want their happiness , do good things and benefit. So many love, so many bodies, so many people whoseever whose loved by yours... Is it true ? You touch everybody and you say '' if i love i touch ''. I think if you really care your self-respect you never say yes to anybody touch you without promise. Old people were courteous,respectful, righteous... They created virtuous families and this families created strong society. Sorry.. so sorry for this word... But People call someone to '' bitch'' not liberal.
