And I’ve been milkin’ and plowin’ so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
We all know Rumspringa because of that movie Devil’s Playground, but now you can experience it like never before, in Lifetime Channel form!
18-year-old Hannah Yoder is ready to become an Amish adult – which means baptism into the Church, and marriage to her boyfriend Samuel. But her friends convince her to go on Rumspringa in Hollywood where she wears jeans and makeup for the first time and begins to think for herself, making her own decisions. She meets Josh, a DJ, and the two click instantly becoming inseparable. On their last night together, Hannah confides that she doesn’t want to be baptized and wants to stay in LA – but she has to go home to tell her family. When she returns to Amish country, Hannah learns she is pregnant and must make the painful choice of staying with Samuel and raising the baby as his, or return to Josh and risk being shunned forever!
The main cast are a bunch of Disney alums with actor/musician credits: AJ Michalka, Jesse McCartney, and Alyson Stoner. I don’t know if they’ll sing. There are also costars Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Cayden Boyd, Carrie Wampler, and Aurelia Scheppers. I don’t know if they’ll sing, either.
Expecting Amish is directed by cult movie director Richard Gabai, who directed Assault of the Party Nerds, Assault of the Party Nerds 2: The Heavy Petting Detective, Vice Girls, and Kickboxing Academy, among other flicks I’ve seen thanks to the wonders of 90s video stores.
Expecting Amish premieres Saturday, July 19th on Lifetime! Until then, you’ll just have to wonder if there will be any hot bare ankle action! Prepare your horse and buggy for a wild ride!
