I am astonished by this movie : not only was it filled with dramas and romance, but it also included the cultural Amish. How on earth did they produce such an amazing film. I've watched it over 10 times and yet it doesn't get old. I wish there was another movie of Expecting Amish with the same cast and obviously others.Despite comments like the others,I think Expecting Amish truly deserves a 10/10 and surely I'm the only one who agrees. The scene were she starts to open up to liking the things in LA (especially Josh) is my favorite. This is also kind of a comedy or well at least I found it funny also, i got very emotional by the end it was so remotely beautiful.

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

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.

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.
