Pleasantville is a 1998 American fantasy comedy-drama film. The film stars Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, Joan Allen, Jeff Daniels and Don Knotts. David (Tobey Maguire) and his sister Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon) are twins, they lead dramatically different high school social lives. He spends most of his spare time on the couch, watching television. Jennifer, on the other hand, is very aggressive (as well as sexually promiscuous). The twins begin to fight over the use of the downstairs TV; Jennifer wants to watch MTV, while David needs the TV in order to watch a marathon of his favorite show, Pleasantville.
Pleasantville is a black and white 1958 sitcom that centers around the idyllic Parker family. During the fight between David and Jennifer, the remote control breaks and the TV cannot be turned on manually. A mysterious TV repairman (Don Knotts) shows up uninvited and gives David a strange-looking remote control. The repairman leaves, and David and Jennifer promptly resume fighting. However, they are somehow transported into the television, ending up in the Parkers' black and white Pleasantville living room. David and Jennifer must now pretend they are, respectively, Bud and Mary Sue Parker, two of the main characters in the show.
