Amish Abduction

This is a well-made TV movie with a plot that is all but of a departure from the norm. Sarah Canning's and Steve Byers's performances ans Annie and Jacob are both exceptional . I live in an area with lots of Amish folk and Steve Byers nailed the accent. This is an entertaining show with quality performances where you "love to hate" certain characters. Costuming and makeup spot on: While the I'd a tad reminiscent of an old Harrison Ford, the plot is still very different and highly entertaining. Grab a good friend, soda, candy, and popcorn and curl up on the couch for an evening of entertainment.

We attempted watching this but initially could not finish it due to the obvious errors in portraying the Amish. I could not get past the full face of makeup used on the main character, lack of accent, mannerisms, cultural adherence of an Amish woman. Her over assertiveness for an Amish woman in the beginning was too much. We turned it off. However, I decided I would finish it today. Again storyline was interesting but lacked the authenticity it needed. Especially again, when the main character wore a red dress, an untied bonnet and her mascara smeared when crying after waking up from a nightmare. Speaking as a mother her assertiveness later in the movie depicted how she changed to protect herself and son is understandable but the actress made her too strong in the beginning where her whole character was unbelievable. I have finished it but have reservations about any research being done regarding the Amish, the roles and personas of the females and males both were inaccurate and embarrassingly ignorant of the culture.

Couldn't get past the first half hour Annie the Amish mom lack of Dutch accents, plucked eyebrows and poor makeup. Not to mention clothes not hand seen made it fake. Poor research truly prevails over storyline.

This show was absolutely amazing. I kept wanting to whip that terrible daddy myself. You won't regret watching this movie. Heck yes I recommend it. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 8/4/2022.

Don't even try. Since when is an LMN movie believable in the first place? All a viewer needs to do is insert tongue in cheek and try to have a few laughs. Besides, the best part of these schtick flick movies are the last 10 minutes. That's where you get all the laughs.
