Hollywood satire is not usually this enjoyable: Both savage and silly, Pleasantville is an absolute blast.

Ingeniously conceived and impressively executed, "Pleasantville" is a provocative, complex and surprisingly anti-nostalgic parable wrapped in the beguiling guise of a commercial high-concept comedy.
