It's Impossible for Tyler Hynes to Make a Bad Movie
There's a reason why Tyler Hynes is one everyone's favorite Hallmark hunks--he's not only ridiculously adorable, but he's one of the best actors in the Hallmark family. He creates characters who are warm, authentic, and oh so romantic!
Avid Hallmark watchers have been commenting on social media that many newer movies are just "okay" and not up to the same gold standard from prior years, thanks to Woke Wonya Lucas derailing the network with her own political agenda.
Viewers can watch with confidence when Hynes is the headliner--his movies are always stellar and never disappointing.

Hynes praises co-star, Rhiannon Fish, for his latest movie magic. In an exclusive interview with US Weekly, Hynes says, "I could do things, and she would be right there with me. It wouldn't be thrown, wouldn't get discombobulated, she would just be present with me."
With a co-star like Fish, Hynes felt he could "have some fun" and "play around," which is where he reveals "all the juicy stuff is."
There are definitely some juicy moments in this movie, including WAY more kissing than normal!
A Picture of Her Is a Realistic Take on Current Culture
We are bombarded every day with viral videos and social media posts, so the idea of someone's photo becoming an overnight sensation is a story within the realm of possibility.
In the movie, Jake is assigned to capture candid "Spring in the City" shots at the local farmer's market, which are far more genuine. They don't involve people posing but rather an artist catching something organic in life's unplanned moments. The beauty of candid shots involves creating art from unidentified subjects who are unguarded, natural, vulnerable, and real.
Hynes tells US Weekly how much he loves "the idea that [the] art and simplicity of authentic beauty and the finer details [are things] the world still cares about. That the world is still moved by that."
Beth's favorite flower is the long-stemmed red rose, so when she stumbles upon a display of them at the farmer's market, Jake immortalizes the moment on camera. When Jake meets Beth at the dog park and recognizes her from the photo, he is completely charmed by her and soon finds himself falling in love.
Jake accidentally includes Beth's picture in the e-mail file he sends to the magazine for which he freelances. His mistake turns Beth into a media sensation, and she struggles to navigate instant stardom.
My Least Favorite Trope in A Picture of Her
A Picture of Her is a lovely story, despite the fact that my least favorite movie trope is included: herniating unnecessary conflict over something that can easily be explained and resolved.
Jake and Beth are crazy about each other, so it's simply not believable that he avoids telling her that he's the photographer who snapped her picture. When she learns his secret, she feels betrayed. She thinks he used her to make a buck and then lied about it. He says he had been afraid that telling her the truth would have changed everything and that he had been waiting until she knew him better to explain.
Jake's character is painted to be open, honest, caring, sweet, and loving, so it doesn't track for Beth to think otherwise. Hallmark writers need to find more creative ways to create conflict that makes sense.
Hallmark Can't Resist Including Woke Politics in A Picture of Her
Hallmark is compelled to incorporate wokeness in every new movie these days, and A Picture of Her is no exception.
The environment is the cult-like religion of progressives, so viewers are Earth-thumped in this movie repeatedly.
- Beth's degree is in environmental studies, and her original plan had been to join a high-powered watchdog group to change the world. (FYI--such watchdog groups are radical, climate-change activists who push hoaxes to seize political power.)
- Beth says she likes to use her bicycle to reduce her carbon footprint. (In real life, people who lecture on carbon footprints are the elitists who fly private jets all around the world while threatening to ban vehicles for the rest of us.)
- Even though she works on a fishing boat, Beth says she still "advocates for living in harmony with the environment." (Just as the Bible warned, we are living in a time when people worship the creation rather than the Creator.)
It's admirable to be a good steward of our resources, but Hallmark's fixation on the environment stems from left-wing activism. We watch movies to be entertained, not indoctrinated.
