Thanks to a dodgy plot twist, 90s kids David and Jennifer are zapped into 'Pleasantville', an 'I Love Lucy'-style 50s sitcom, a monochrome world where sex, art and passion are unknown. If this was just a gimmick movie, it would be a brilliant one, but 'Pleasantville' is also a relentlessly inventive comedy.
