Expecting Amish Audience Reviews

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
jan Despite the reviews by others , I loved this movie and I hope they make another movie on Expecting Amish. This movie was very entertaining and I would give it a 10/10. Personally, I would watch this movie again. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys Drama and teen romances plus comedies. The choice of characters were amazing and i hope that if they were to make a number 2 of this movie , they would still be the characters chosen. Expecting Amish is full of : mixed emotion, comedy , romance and a continuance of drama throughout the movie. I do not think it could have been improved from the story line and the settings to the great costume designs .
galardiabnargan First of all, a group of, apparently wealthy, Amish teenagers easily adapted into the pop culture in a very short period even drinking, going into clubs, buying revealing clothes, having a guy drive them home late into the night but worst of all, staying over a boy's home? Oh, come on.Second, the movie seems to be portraying the Amish culture in this bad light. And at the same time, paints the modern society in such a good light.Third, I just don't like how no one notices the wrong in what Hannah has done: She cheated. And she just doesn't seem the least guilty about her premarital affair.Fourth, Josh. Can someone really meet a very "perfect" guy in a matter of days who will "love" them so much that he would ask them to leave everything they know? (He is so "perfect" that he'll seduce a girl but would not use birth control.) On the same note, does love really come that fast? Last time I checked, young couples who get married too early are more likely to get divorced.
phd_travel Although it might seem this is yet another TV movie about the Amish, for some reason they are endlessly fascinating a subject matter for TV. A group of young Amish people take a trip to LA to see the big city and decide it this is the life they want. No wonder you sometimes see Amish walking around Times Square. Anyway a sort of betrothed girl falls in love there. At first it seems like a light hearted comedy about their experiences with electronics and modern appliances and the big city but things turn more serious when she gets pregnant by her new LA boyfriend hence the title Expecting Amish. AJ Michalka isn't too beautiful so she looks quite okay and believable in the part. Her girlfriends seem a little skanky too fast when they don their city outfits. Her new boyfriend is played by Jesse McCartney who still looks a bit young to knock someone up. The Amish boyfriend is played by Jean Luc Bilodeau of Baby Daddy and he acts serious enough but why he would be such a doormat seems a bit strange. The shunning seems a bit over the top since they were given a chance to go to see the big city anyway. Brian Krause as the father looks a bit silly with the pasted on beard.Overall worth a watch for fans of Amish culture clash movies.
kemcclain While the acting, the actors, and story are interesting and could be very true, I'm disappointed in many simple details that were overlooked. The Amish would not wear clothing bought at a retail store but every shirt worn by Samuel is just that. All clothing is made by hand and the shirts worn by Samuel are very obviously machine stitched, with buttoned down collars, no less. The double stitching is another clue. Another thing that bothered me throughout was the haircuts on the men. Their hair is PERFECTLY groomed, obviously trimmed with electric clippers. The Amish cut their own hair, with scissors, and would not look so GQ. However, I still enjoyed the movie despite being very disappointed that these details were overlooked; I couldn't rate it higher because of these real goofs! I found them VERY distracting.
