Rumspringa

Was a great fun movie, with a positive vibe on how there is a happy balance that we should all aim for between modern technology life, and the extreme backward/purist way of life. Sure it may have been seen before, but the Amish take on things was kinda fun. Watched in English translation as was lazy and didn't want to read, but willing to watch again in German to get the true feeling from the actors.

I've read reviews that want an LGBTQ+ result, based on two guys becoming friends. I remember when you could be friends without it having to result in a relationship, no matter what gender. Closeness doesn't equal relationship, it's ok and normal to be a friendship, no matter how close. Hey, I live those every day.

No not the Weird Al one - actually none if you think about the rules and restrictions. Now before you get defensive or offensive about those things: remember every religion has a lot of rules and regulations - if you were to follow all of them ... well let's say life would be quite different than what you may experience right now. On the other hand there are states/countries who either already have religion dictate everyday life or are about to impose laws who will do just that.

But let's not go down that road - this is overall a light comedy and you should not make too much of those things. It is about a naive young Amish boy, who is also innocent and easy to manipulate some might say. The road he is taking may not be full of surprises but it is an entertaining one - and one where the viewer and the audience overall can have fun watching the journey of those involved.

Again do not expect too much from this - it is a decent comedy, nothing more but also nothing less.

I found this movie refreshing and sweet.

It makes you reflect one what truly matters in life.

It makes us see the dysfunctional society we live in and how some folks live so simply with a good heart.

I liked this movie a lot.

A really nice and funny movie in general that manages to mix deep moments and very light and funny moments very well. To be honest some passages are not very sensible but we do not notice much because the film goes very well entertaining and amusing from start to finish.

And this movie, as offbeat as it was, ended up pulling on my heartstrings.

About finding oneself. And that the answers are within and not outside oneself.

The 2 leads ma;e actors were very charismatic. The rest quirky and fun. And the female actresses very nice too, believable.

It was just a sweet story about a young Amish man off to Germany on his Rumspringa that is beginning to find himself and because he is Amish, the new World around him that he discovers, is amazing.

I liked it. I liked it a lot. Tenderly done, gives hope to us all that no matter what age we can find the answers to our lives and they can be sweet. Ever so sweet.
