Expecting Amish (2014) Reviews
No more than 15 minutes ...
The inaccuracies in this movie alone made me want to turn it off after the first 15 minutes. From Amish holding church in a dedicated building (they worship in their homes) to the girls having bangs cut in their hair, wearing white aprons (only on Sunday and special occasions), down to the wrong buggies and colors (they are gray in Lancaster County)and their perfect American speech (minus the "dutch" accent) ... the whole thing made me feel silly just watching it. Also a stretch that Amish kids would spend their Rumspringa time in Los Angeles ... really? I have been exposed to the Amish my entire life ... this movie is nothing but a "fairy tale" ...
Cute, but facts about Amish are wrong
This movie is cute but some things about the Amish in the movie are incorrect. First of all the Amish in the movie spoke with no Dutch accent . Also the Amish do ride in cars , they are just not allowed to own or drive them. The Amish do not have a church building they worship at one another's homes. The amsh do not marry in the summer , they marry in the fall. Amish are not shunned unless they have already been baptized and then leave, if they have not been baptized and leave they are not shunned with the hopes of them coming back to be baptized. The story was cute though. Just not accurate. Why wouldn't the actors have a Dutch accent? It was kind of silly listening to them speak English in Amish clothing.
I have many problems with this film
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.
Awful
This movie is terrible. I wanted to watch because I love reading about the Amish and the blond girl from "the Goldbergs" is in it, but this is truly awful. The characters are flat and unlikeable, there's barely a plot to speak of (and what plot there is is extremely far fetched), and the writing is abysmal. As others here have pointed out, in the first five minutes you can tell that no effort was made whatsoever to depict Amish life accurately. Don't waste your time watching it.
Another fascinating culture clash Amish movie
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.
