Audience Reviews for Save Me

Oct 15, 2011

A bit melodramatic, but I am glad this is a more mature version of But I'm a cheerleader. I love it

Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Not bad. Ive seen better but it was alright. I was slightly annoyed that every gay character had issues with their father. I mean honestly i doubt that is always the case in real life. It was pretty well acted and the story was alright. Its nothing original but its not bad. What did this movie teach me? Apparently there is a wrong and right way for a guy to cross his legs.

The only real surprise of this movie is its tenderness. Once the story is laid out, you know what's going to happen. However it has solid characters and good acting. I wasn't bored.

Save Me doesn't poke fun at anyone's beliefs. It takes a more nuanced humanistic approach.
