Saved

I finally watched this movie about teenage Christians, produced by REM's Michael Stipe.

It was mildly entertaining, but nothing special. I was expecting something more intense. This was like an 80's teen movie, not even on par with John Hughes (16 Candles, Breakfast Club, etc).

It's like one of those movies where they take some group and make them the enemy. In this case it's Christians. In other movies it was things like popular cliques, rich kids, jocks, adults, etc. At least in Breakfast Club the jock is shown to be a human.

In this movie the Christians are human only if they engage in sex and surround themselves with non-Christians.

This was more on a level with Porky's.

I watched it. I didn't really care for it. It had it's funny moments, but it really didn't keep me all that entertained. The plots started out good enough, then everything was blown way out of porportion.

I thought it was funny, because it reminded me a lot of the Christian high school I attended. There were the uber Christians, the black sheep, etc. I did think that the message was worthwhile - to accept people as they are and not make faith a game or a competition.

I thought it was great.
Alot about accepting others and it shows that christians are like anyone else, human.

Me and my boyfriend went to see it last night and both enjoyed it and appreciated the message it brought across. I think what some people might not like is the right winged leaglistic approach that many characters had - that can put people off christianity all together......
