A Picture of Her

Wow, what can I say? Rhiannon Fish and Tyler Hynes have great chemistry together, creating believable and relatable characters and bring the story to life! Rhiannon seems to be Hallmark's new IT girl and with each new movie, each new character she's quickly becoming a favorite, creating must see movies!

Unlike most movies with a repeatable theme, the story centers on a candid picture, taken anonymously that go viral, and the growing bond between two people who are both keeping something close to their hearts, and subsequently from each other. As trust builds and a bond is formed, in typical fashion a series of events and misunderstanding leads to another twist, ultimately setting up a feel good moment to end the story... for now. Tyler seems to get all the unforgettable roles lately, it's hard to miss with Tyler in the lead! It's nice to see more variety from Hallmark, less, kitschy and predictable, with a few twists to bring new characters to life. Who knows? Maybe the story has a chapter two?

8.0 stars.

The film opens with a fisherwoman named Beth as first mate on her dad's boat in the Pacific Northwest. They learn of her aunt being injured so Beth goes to Los Angeles to take care of her while she convalesces. While in the city she meets a photojournalist named Jake and they fall in love. She soon finds out he has been lying to her, and in the midst of her grief she leaves the city never to return. Jake is left hanging and wishing he could have saved this fragile relationship he so callously dismantled.

The story is different than any Hallmark I've ever seen. First of all, there are few movies that showcase a professional photographer of his caliber, and the fact he's a paparazzi is interesting and fresh. Her character is not very fascinating, but I think she is a very pretty actress so there's wiggle room. Fish does have some idiosyncratic mannerisms that might be disenchanting for some viewers, but I still find her alluring. I feel I'm strangely in the minority based on the multiple scathing reviews.

'A Picture of Her' is an entertaining film for two reasons, the first being that the synergy between Hynes and Fish is undeniable. When they kiss it's real, there's no faking that level of chemistry. I like that she initiates the affection most of the time leaving us to feel like he's a real gentleman in spite of the biker boy/bad boy image he manifests. Secondly, this film provides a solid romance and a very enticing story. Don't focus on the nonessentials, keep your eye on the vibrancy and mystique that Hynes and Fish exude on the screen.

Tyler Hynes is Tyler Hynes 💙 but the actress... Talking like a baby👎 is less than appealing, and is apparently a theme in all her movies. Pass.

Tyler Hynes, probably His best look by far, hot, sexy,rugged, sweet.

But this movie was beneath his talent.

The opening was amazing.

The story line way too simple, especially from what we've come to expect from Tyler Hynes.

The elderly woman was quite good, her interaction with hynes was interesting to watch.

On the one hand this girl is accomplished on the water, but then is portrayed a helpless doe eyed starting actress, they tried to make a point of woman empowerment.. but it didnt work Usually I can watch Tyler's movies over snd over... This one does not fall in the category .l Go find a better Hynes movie to watch.

This movie is romantic in a way that is more than a relationship between the lead man and woman. It celebrates the beauty of life and the things around us. Many of these moves do that to some degree but this aspect really struck me in this movie.

I think Tyler Hynes is perfect for this move. He is quiet and thoughtful as Jake. Hynes and Rhiannon Fish have a nice chemistry with some banter between them, but quieter than in the movies where the leads are going hard at one another in the first third or half of the movie. The dialogue is representative of that and decent but not sparkling.

The story has a few borrowed elements from the formulaic, but it is mostly fresh.

I didn't think the bit between Beth and the agent made sense especially since the worldly and experienced Jake should have seen what was going on immediately or at least warned Beth beforehand.

Whenever Tyler Hynes is involved, I'm in, I really, really love his work and personality. This movie had not the greatest script, but Tyler and Rhiannon Fish did their best with incredible chemistry, humor, and I liked the instant genuine connection between the two. The aunt and the father were perfectly casted too, I liked their input very much. The movie was a lot quieter and slower in a good way, than we had seen both leads before. I've read a comment from someone, who thought, that Tyler Hynes didn't want to be in the movie, but I felt, that it was his way to play a somewhat disillusioned character, a photographer, who couldn't earn his living with his art and hated his own paparazzi work, but needed it nonetheless. Rhiannon is her bubbly, vivacious self, if you watch her interviews, she is just the same. And so I felt, that I get to see here a lot Tyler and Rhiannon, not only Jake and Beth. I already watched the movie 3 times, and believe me, it grows on you. Thank you, Hallmark, for the development of your movies from the boring formula to something fresh and genuine and for the support of interesting actors and their ideas!
