 Saved! Saved! Quote: Saved! is a 2004 teen comedy-drama film involving elements of religious satire. It was directed by Brian Dannelly and written by Dannelly and Michael Urban. It stars Jena Malone, Mandy Moore, Macaulay Culkin, Patrick Fugit, Eva Amurri, Martin Donovan, and Mary-Louise Parker. The film touches the issues of religion, ostracism, homophobia, teen pregnancy, divorce, and disabilities. Overated. C

I thought it was a very cute satire, with great performances all around, especially from Moore and Malone.
8/10 (B+)

I liked it but overall it was a bit weak. Mandy Moore is great though.

Slight is a good word for it Rod. Middling is another. It had something it wanted to say but lost its nerve midway through. If you are going to make a movie which is seemingly about the evils of an all Christian High School and its associated cliques, you are going to have to choose sides.

Another fantastic gem, and I could relate somehow to Mary.
Susan Sarandon's daughter and Mandy Moore were entertaining surprises.
Out of all the crap Moore has done, i can now forgive her, seriously, great stuff.

Bought this awhile ago with abou 5 othet films for like $10 total. Got a chance to watch it.
It's pretty decent, the jokes were there but alot of times I felt they werent executed well, but it was entertaining and the concept was good.
Grade - B-

Re: Saved One of the most tone-deaf works of so-called satire you'll ever see.
No one in the history of movies has ever been photographed uglier than Jena Malone was in this crap. She sure pissed someone off.
