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.
