The Ultimate Tyler Hynes Rankings

    Every Tyler Hynes Hallmark movie — all 25 of them — ranked from worst to best. Before we even get to the top five, I’m dropping a ranking that’s going to have some of you putting down your coffee and staring at the screen. It Was Always You fans, you’ve been warned.

    Why the Groomsmen trilogy — all three movies — was a misfire that even Tyler couldn’t save, and the one scene from a completely different movie where he outperformed his entire Groomsmen run.

    The Tyler Hynes and Rhiannon Fish chemistry in A Picture of Her that I can only describe as: put your safety glasses on, because these two were not acting

    Why I actually like Never Been Kissed more than most Heinies do — and why Tyler deserves credit for taking that risk even if Hallmark chickened out at the ending.

    Where It Was Always You lands — and why I think its central premise has always had a problem that even Erin Krakow and Tyler can’t fully paper over
    Why An Unexpected Christmas with Bethany Joy Lenz is, in my opinion, Tyler Hynes’ single best Hallmark movie — and why the runner-up genuinely surprised even me.

    1. I can't believe that you ranked A Picture of Her at #12, but to each his own! That would be in my top 5 along with It Was Always You, An Unexpected Christmas, Time For Him To Come Home and Roadhouse Romance.

    2. An Unexpected Christmas tops my list, too! 🎄

      Tyler and Bethany Joy Lenz have such great chemistry, and his spit take in the living room never fails to be my biggest laugh in the movie! 😂

      My Top 5 are:

      #1 An Unexpected Christmas
      #2 It Was Always You
      #3 I'll Be Seeing You
      #4 Three Wise Men
      #5 The Groomsmen: Last Dance

    3. Maybe its the scripts, but Tyler plays every role the same, example…It Was Always You and I'll Be Seeing You basically the same character .. but I did enjoy the movies– just an observation

      I think you hit on a real good observation which seemed to come up several times, not only with Tyler, but with other costars like even the wonderful Andrew Walker, Lacey's acting range is VERY LIMITED!!! Her costars have to pick up the slack or the movie's in trouble. In contrast Taylor Cole is an excellent actor and viewers can see the difference in the movie quality, whether its Tyler or someone else– the pairing is critical, the performances feed off each other

    4. Well Eric…We agree on no#1 but …. My top 5 looks way different. All great, and not in specific order…Unexpected Christmas, The 12 Dates of Christmas, It Was Always You, A Picture of You and Three Wiseman and a Baby… Didn’t like a lot of the others and did not watch Its Christmas, Eve. And of course, loved the most recent Tyler Hynes movie!

    5. Something different. I watched last days the movies unlocking christmas and the christmas club..in both movies you see mistakes that the woman wear different shoes/boots in the same scene. Did you do something with this kind of mistakes in hallmark movies

    6. My favorite is 12 Dates of Christmas. Hands down. I also really like Winter in Vail. Every time these movies are on I have to stop and watch them, no matter how many times I’ve seen them.

    7. I realize I may be a minority here but I think he's boring and lazy. I wish him well but you will not find him in roles that require a lot of talent.
