Review of Saved!

Saved! (2004)
10/10
Funny, Funny, Funny!
19 May 2004
I have read a lot of reviews posted here about how awful this film is, how inappropriate it is, how disrespectful to Jesus, and how flattly unliked it is, especially by those who are Christian. Well, all I can say is GET OVER IT!!! This is a delightfully funny film that no more makes fun of Christianity than does "Scooby-Doo" make fun of the super-natural. This movie takes dead aim at THIS PARTICULAR GROUP of Christians and makes hay with the idea of a teen pregnancy in their midts. I was raised as a very strict, conservative Christian myself and let my tell you, this is EXACTLY the kind of people I grew up with. All of the actions taken "for your own good" and the constant indoctrination, the blatantly falsed psudo-science ("...prayer works; it has been medically proven"), all of this was what I was raised with. And perhaps that what made this movie funny; because I remember all of this happening to me. Regardless, if you are easily offended or if you faith is not strong enough to support a sense of humor, I would recommend that you stay well clear of this film. However, if you happen to think that religion in general and Christianity in particular are ripe for humor, then PLEASE SEE THIS MOVIE! Funny, Funny, Funny!
