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.

jan ellis I loved this drama because it was so thought provoking and it appeals to the heart to lend compassion. Young adults in a modern world have great difficulties to face in a world where technology dominates, and so for a group of Amish young adults it must be even tougher. This movie was thought provoking, and anyone who has an ounce of compassion for the awkward difficulties of extremely different cultures will find themselves having genuine care and concern for those who are different. The pressures of being extremely different in a modern society where acceptance is so difficult are brought out in this story. It is a family movie, but possibly better suited for youth and young adults over the age of 12. I loved this story because although these young people face tough decisions this story holds a beautiful innocence that comes with finding love and maturing into real adults through making life decisions. The title might somewhat give away the plot, but then again not necessarily. In many ways the title makes the plot obvious. I loved this movie because to me it was realistic about the challenges of young adulthood and the future decisions that must be made by all young adults. Its about honesty, integrity, right, and wrong, and the meaning of real love and commitment.

emaureen 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.

Dmagelectric 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.
