Movie propaganda

Heaven help us.

Good girl Mary (Jena Malone) can't believe it when she gets pregnant by her newly-gay boyfriend. She also can't believe the actions of her popular, relentlessly devout best friend, Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore), who's looking after her wheelchair-bound brother Roland (Macaulay Culkin), attempting to convert adamantly Jewish Cassandra (Eva Amurri), and trying to snag cute newcomer Patrick (Patrick Fugit), a hip skateboarding missionary. By the time Mary's secret is revealed, Hilary Faye has gone to extremes to get the outsiders expelled from school, with spectacular results, and Mary is forced to decide what's worth believing in the first place. In this dark comedy, a young, talented cast comes together to get saved.

Theatrical report

The scariest thing about teen Christians is that they're so earnest. They believe that they're not only saved but that you need to be saved, too.

*Shudders*

The best thing about Saved! is that Michael Urban and Brian Dannelly mock teen Christianity to the limit. They are beyond redemption (if they want it). They're my kind of people! Unfortunately, you can see that the characters in Saved! are drawn from life: they are the infamous God-bothering, Bible-bashing, evangelistic, white bread Middle Americans who control the most powerful nation on Earth.

And they vote.

If you're in the mood for a few guffaws mixed in with some fairly standard Hollywood Teen Movie stuff then see this film. It's a bit of a horror but in a good way. Kind of like Pretty in pink on acid.
