Basically it was a bit of a rip off of most of the themes and tropes from the movie Pleasantville, not that that's a bad thing. I loved Pleasantville. And this kind of gives it a Christmas / Hallmark flavor.
It did seem like there was something off with the coloring and the lighting because generally speaking even old black and white movies have a lot more brightness and warmth in the image and this didn't have that warmth and felt very flat.
Enjoyed the characters and the acting. I thought there were a couple of lost plot threads. They kind of set the whole black and white thing up as if it could have been a dream and then didn't go with that. They also started out with the main character being an incredible Grinch and then changed her right away.
