I can not believe how amazing Expecting Amish was ; actually, it was in fact outstanding. Expecting Amish, wow I could not believe how emotional I got by the end especially when she followed her heart and left Samuel and ran off to Josh. It was very interesting and extremely entertaining.It was filled with such drama as the characters emotions and the dramatic situations. In my opinion, no one could have put the movie together any better than the original. I would not change a single thing. I highly recommend this to any one who enjoys classic drama movies. The way it is portrayed through the "Olden ways" to the new way of life for Hannah. It definitely deserved 10/10

The story opens with the river baptism of short-haired Amish teens wearing white pajamas and goes downhill from there.It seems as though the writers grabbed bits and pieces from various religions - or bad movies about various religions - and smushed them together. There's a church with fixed pews, men and women sitting together and singing "Onward Christian Soldiers".And shunning ... this may be imposed by the church against those who violate the promises made when they are baptized. No baptism, no shunning.I'd love to know where the money came for this trip from Pennsyvania to LA - air fare, very nice accommodations with pool, apparently unlimited spending money.All in all, a really bad film. To be avoided except as a giggle.

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.

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.
