In an interview with Us Weekly, Tyler Hynes said that Hallmark feels like a family. Beyond this, however, Hynes has continually expressed admiration for Hallmark movies. While discussing his 2021 Hallmark film "It Was Always You," Hynes explained to Entertainment Tonight why he decided to work on the project. He said, "I'm always in pursuit of someone having a visceral reaction to something, either it turns you off or on, and I hope that this movie gives you that sort of reaction of something."
Speaking with Southern Living about "It Was Always You," Hynes compared Hallmark movies to classic rom-coms. He said, "I'm really happy that Hallmark has carved out this niche and kind of revitalized this genre." Hynes has also praised Hallmark movies for broadening the stories they tell.
For example, Hyne's hit film "Three Wise Men and a Baby" centers on the relationship between three brothers as they care for a baby. Hynes told Entertainment Tonight that he was proud to be in a film different from other Hallmark movies. He noted, "And I think Hallmark, I believe, is more interested in those kinds of stories from the conversations that I've had, just telling a more diverse palette of stories that are not just relationship-based, I mean, in your traditional sense. But more in all of its shapes and sizes." Hynes went on to say that he and Hallmark are committed to being as inclusive as possible.
