Editorial Review:
Two thumbs up! Ebert & Roeper and the Movies Nothing short of brilliant. PremiereGood girl Mary (Jena Malone) and her best friend Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore) are at the top of the food chain at American Eagle Christian High School. But all that is about to change in this subversively funny (USA Today) teen comedy about hype hypocrisy and high school. Also starring Macaulay Culkin and Patrick Fugit Saved! is a boldly hilarious satire (Rolling Stone)!Special Features:Audio Commentary by Director & Co-Writer Brian Dannelly Producer Sandy Stern and Co-Writer Michael UrbanAudio Commentary by Jena Malone and Mandy Moore Heaven Help Us Behind-the-Scenes FeaturetteDeleted ScenesBloopersSaved!

Classic teen comedy mixes with cunning satire in Saved!. Fervent Christian Mary (Jena Malone, Donnie Darko) believes God wants her to save her gay boyfriend by sleeping with him. But he gets sent to an anti-gay indoctrination camp while she ends up pregnant--which starts to drive a wedge between Mary and her snotty best friend Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore, How to Deal). Meanwhile, they're both interested in the son (Patrick Fugit, Almost Famous) of their Christian school principal (Martin Donovan, Trust). Saved! respects faith but gleefully mocks the excesses and absurdities of contemporary organized religion, particularly its suburban, let's-speak-the-language-of-the-kids manifestations. The actors, including Macaulay Culkin (yes, from Home Alone) and Mary Louise Parker (Fried Green Tomatoes), play their parts with sincerity, which makes the fusion of humor and heart succeed. A delightful movie. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - A Good Message and a ton of Bad Messages
Jesus loves all of us even with our own faults. That's the one good lesson that came out of this film. Every other message this movie provides lacks a serious good insight. Unfortunately that's just the way the issue is generally dealt with. The so called Christians in this film are portrayed as conceited and shameless people who look down on everybody else with no humility. This is good to recognize, because there are a lot of Christians that do behave this way(though the acting was AWFUL). However, ... Read More
Rating:  - Often overlooked....but so much better than Juno
To compare Saved to Juno is probably not fair. After all, Saved deals with an issue outside of teen pregnancy. But while watching Saved, compare it to Juno was all I could do. And kudos to Saved! For me, you kicked Juno's butt! I found this dark comedy consistently funny, a little more believable, and much more memorable.
Rating: - AMAZING...
I thought this movie was amazing. My mom showed it to me when because she thought I would like it. And, again, she was right. I loved it. I think it's great for kids! I'm 11 and I completely fell in love with it. I may be going over the top, but yes, that and more.
Rating: - Funny and intelligent.
"Saved!" is a mostly (and unfortunately) overlooked little film that deftly tackles the subject of religion, and the confusion and hypocrisy surrounding it. Written by none other than REM frontman Michael Stipe, it manages to be a tasteful satire that makes you laugh as much as it makes you think.
The story is centered around a girl named Mary, played by Jena Malone (who by the way is awesome because she's in not one, not two, but three of my favorite movies from the past few years: "Donnie ... Read More
Rating: - loved this movie
i watched this movie after i felt pushed to the edge by some so called christians who to me were just FANATICS.this movie was so realistic to me even though it was fiction because these girls were so similar to the so called christians that were in my life.thinking that you need to be saved when there really isn't anything wrong with you in the first place.no one is perfect and this movie shows that EVERYONE is only human.
