This movie is truly unlike other Hallmark movies with naïveté and innocence on the part of the main characters and the "locals", along with a Grinch duo. These extremes make it a grim fantasy.
The reality of Grinch-dom in our day-to-day experience is refreshing. (Those types are everywhere - yup, I'm a city kid!) And the fantasy of "locals" saving the day in such a "fantastic" and unbelievably kind way, supporting a repentant, forgiven protagonist, is a Hallmark of the channel (see what I did).
With apologies to the real Grinch, who ended up having a heart, different from the start. The grinches in this movie have hearts of cash and are as likable as a rash.
