I rated it a 3. But, it's very close to a 3.5. It's a great movie. The message it sends is an important one. It tells people to just be themselves. |

I really thought it was stupid and dare I say untrue to life. Of course it couldn't happen, but I didn't think the characters were true. |

Lost in the Garden of Eden? |

Director Gary Ross really nails the complexities, hypocrisies and core values of American life in this underrated debut tale of life, love and the trouble with choice.
Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon play teenage siblings who, through a glitch in the division between reality and TV, find themselves trapped in a fictional '50s suburban sitcom world. Instead of wasting this premise on cheap jokes about the difference between modern and recent society, Ross injects an incendiary concept into the mix: what happens when a town that's designed to operate under a complete absence of independent thought is exposed to the forbidden fruit of free will?
When Maguire (via logic) and Witherspoon (via lust) challenge the simplistic belief systems of the "one-dimensional" citizens of Pleasan... |
