A clever episodic parable on things not always being black and white.

When Chloe Cherry and Tyler Nixon move into their new abode, he finds a dusty DVD in the attic. He throws it in the player and they watch the black-and-white movie while celebrating their new house on the couch. When the set malfunctions, they check the connections, and ... get sucked into their big-screen TV.

Time-warped into the same house, black-and-white and naked, they pull '50s clothes out of moving boxes ("I can't even tell what color it is!" Cherry fumes) and try to make sense of this new world they find themselves in. Nixon catches on, exulting, "We're in the movie we were watching!" and embraces it, but Cherry resists. When they kiss in the front yard, Nixon pops into color, freaking out the neighbors.

Intrigued, black-and-white neighbor Alexis Fawx drops by to welcome Nixon to the neighborhood. Their kitchen counter encounter pops her into color as well, which she acknowledges with a troubled, "Is this permanent?" Back home, Fawx puts on grey makeup to hide her new colored status from bigoted husband Tommy Pistol, but he finds out anyway and starts a rally against the colored invasion.

This doesn’t stop Penny Pax and Maya Bijou from drifting away together, and their girly-girly set-to pops them into color, outraging Pistol, whose anger pops him into color as well. He sees the error of his bigoted ways and celebrates his new colorful life with Fawx, while back at her place a frustrated Cherry remains black-and-white in a now-full-color world. Cherry reluctantly leaves the black-and-white past, returning to the present as the people she left—now in color—cheerfully wave bye-bye from her big-screen TV. Happy ending as everybody settles into the world they want to live in.

Technically first-rate, with masterful editing and post production with thoughtful  integration of black-and-white and color elements. Period elements mostly ring true, especially the well-chosen syrupy music.
