Review of An Unexpected Christmas

Tyler Hynes and Bethany Joy Lenz have undeniable chemistry and play off one another beautifully. There are laugh out loud moments, as well as more subtle, nuanced moments. Leading man Hynes plays against type and embraces the insecurities of his character who breaks off his relationship with Lenz for fear he isn't good enough for her - not because he is envious of her career success. In reading some of these reviews, some seemed to have overlooked that key difference. Paul Campbell is the Hallmark actor who wrote this script and I can't wait to see what he writes next. I hope more Hallmark movies make use of this talented director and cast. Highly recommend this movie.
