Saved!

[Sarahbee]

Just caught this movie for the first time over the weekend. I'd heard good things and it lived up to the hype. Very funny and inventive, with a strong young cast. And some great quotes. Anyone else seen it?

[David Meek]

Hi Sarah. No, I haven't caught this one yet. My 18-year-old daughter enjoyed it a lot, though. To paraphrase your signature: "So many movies, so little time."

Saved ? Not familiar with this film. What's it about ?

[David Meek]

It's a comedy/satire about a religion-based high-school and the lives of the small group of misfits that try to get through it - one girl in particular. At least, that's what Katheryn told me.

[George Bellefontaine]

Hmmm... OK.

Oh, until David described it, I had no clue as to what the movie was, but, when it was released, it got some very nice reviews, sort of a Mean Girls on religion.

I'm a gonna rent it.

Saved is worth seeing ! Its well written and the cast consisting of young actors like Mandy Moore, Jena Malone and Mcauley Caulkin although young are veterans actors. My teenager did love this movie, but anyone who likes seeing hypocrites get a proverbial pie in the face will like this one.

That's a pretty good description... In some ways, its the classic outsiders dealing with a mainstream that they just don't get, with one of the main characters being someone who has fallen out with the mainstream. I thought that the acting in this movie was great. Besides the kids, Mary Louise Parker also did a nice job. I also was very impressed with Mandy Moore...something I thought I'd never say!

Hi, Sarahbee.

I saw it a couple of nights ago and it was a very well acted, extremely sharp movie. It might upset the sensibilities of some, but I thought it was a gas. Kind of the same impact on me as when I first saw the Reese Witherspoon movie, Election, with Mandy Moore playing a similar control freak roll as Reese did in Election.
