Saved! movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: There is undoubtedly a funny social satire to be set in a Christian high school, but Saved! is neither bold nor insightful enough to be it. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Once its premise is established, Saved! doesn't have anywhere to go, repetition creeps in, and jokes that might have otherwise been funny start eliciting groans instead. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Saved! ultimately can't quite go the distance, but it's a promising debut by a filmmaker to watch. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: Its wit and subversive charm get lost in a maze of mixed signals. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: A daring and acutely observed satirical comedy that's laugh-out-loud funny. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: I liked it a lot, thumbs up. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Moore and Malone carry the movie, and both are terrific. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: It's a relevant, irreverent and emotionally honest film that suggests it's OK to laugh in church, at least every now and then. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Has the glitteringly satiric dialogue of Election -- and the soul of an after-school special. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: A soft-bellied, sweet-tempered satire. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Blessed by a potent cast, Saved! lets its teens be teens -- pimples, if not warts, and all. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: A wickedly funny movie well worth seeing. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Skewers hypocrisy and absolutism but not faith itself. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: This is one of the most intriguing rite-of-passage teen comedies in a long time. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: It puts a new twist on the au courant genre of mean-teen comedies. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Dannelly isn't just taking potshots at fundamentalism. He creates a viable world, then riddles its surface piety with underground transgressions that call into question not Christian belief but slavish, intolerant religious practice. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: Spares us from offending any religious sensibilities by insulting our intelligence instead. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: No doubt the filmmakers are bracing for -- even hoping for -- a display of ire from religious conservatives. But the truth is, nothing in Saved! stings. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: A banal high school comedy in the guise of a scathing religious satire. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Brian Dannelly's teen farce Saved! is about three teeth short of a full bite. But it leaves an indelible impression. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: After two comically inventive scenes, it quickly turns soft and flat. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: 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. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: An afterschool special gone deliciously wrong. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: This is a shallow, anti-Christian film that relies on tired stereotypes and familiar situations to tar (and feather) everything with the same brush. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: An important film as well as an entertaining one. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: 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. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The characters are complex, conflicted and written with a sturdy understanding of human nature. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Something puts the fear of God into Saved! about halfway in. Read more
Time Out: It's a shame the closing moral about a more pragmatic, inclusive approach to spirituality is conveyed with such a heavy hand. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: Makes the fatal error of trying to mollify its targets and ameliorate its own scorched earth. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: Condescending. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Bears the unmistakable stamp of authenticity, even at its most outrageous. Read more
