Reviews for Saved!
As a superficial treatment of this important subject, it has its moments.

Saved! could have been a challenging but affirming movie about the evangelical subculture -- if handled with the same love, acceptance and tolerance it preaches.
10/02/06
It’s a shame the closing moral about a more pragmatic, inclusive approach to spirituality is conveyed with such a heavy hand.
06/24/06
The idea is inspired and the enthusiasm evident in every aspect of story and performance.
04/01/06
Equal parts satire, spoof and teen comedy, Saved! is just a sweet and funny movie that starts off with bite but settles into an honest feeling of happiness and acceptance for all types of people and their choices.

I sat through this film with a perma-smile, and just thinking about it still makes me laugh.

Uma inteligente discussão sobre aceitação, fé e as conseqüências repugnantes do fundamentalismo religioso – tudo isto em uma embalagem divertida e irreverente.

Dannelly reflects the problems with contemporary Christianity brilliantly. But in deciding that mere tolerance will save the world, he fumbles the final act.
12/06/04
For a light comedy this film says a great deal about some serious issues. The script shows a few rough edges but it beats many films of much higher pretensions.
11/24/04
The film is missing a degree of commitment, a willingness to dive headlong into this culture
11/19/04
Set in a Christian high school, Saved! is a message film in the guise of a social satire. The film,however, is not as wickedly funny as it wants to be.

...never quite manages to extinguish its after-school-special type vibe.

As witty as it’s well performed and as novel as it is daring...God Bless Mandy Moore and her fantastic set of acting chops!
10/11/04
Despite Dannelly's apparent intent to make a statement about tolerance, Saved! is an intolerant, morally simplistic film that ignores the concept that there really is something called “right and wrong.”
10/07/04
A breezily irreverent teen comedy that satirically addresses questions of peer pressure as well as spiritual hypocrisy.
