I new from the trailer what to expect but then it still shocked me. It is such an awesome movie. I was cracking up the entire time. Everyone should see it but if your christian it may offend a bit because of certain parts that are too forward. But I don't mind forward so I have watched it several times and own this awesome movie.

It does take slight pokes at Christianity, but the humor comes from the heart and is never mean-spirited. The characters in the film are anything but the flat stereotypes usually in teen comedies nowadays, as they have multiple transitions in character development that are both funny and moving. It's seriously a great comedy, and I recommend it to anyone.
painfully obnoxious. there's better art to be made about hetero-sexism and other such ignorance in the christian community.
You know-- yeah, well-made film. John Carpenter like. Totally digestible. Why not watch it on one of those days where you need to turn your brain off

While some more traditional viewers might be offended, more open-minded viewers will have a blast. Great to see Culkin in top form again. ...

Hahahah...I swear to God I thought it said "SHAVED!" when it first popped up. I was hovering over want to see it and then experienced genuine disappointment.

Saved! ultimately can't quite go the distance, but it's a promising debut by a filmmaker to watch.full review
This is one of the most intriguing rite-of-passage teen comedies in a long time.full review
The characters are complex, conflicted and written with a sturdy understanding of human nature.full review
Even though it pretends to be sharp and observant, it's really one of those 'Let every flower in the garden grow' movies, conspicuously lacking both guts and well-sharpened teeth.full review
An important film as well as an entertaining one.full review
Not only is Saved! subversively funny, it is unexpectedly sweet.full review
This teen satire set in a Christian high school is an admirable attempt to acknowledge the powerful influence of religion in contemporary American youth culture.full review
An acutely perceptive and boldly hilarious satire of fundamentalist education.full review
