April 3, 2011A teen comedy with the typical cliques and baddies but also, many deep commentaries on love, sex, faith, humanity, and diversity. Every character achieves redemption in his or her own way, but that's okay because it echoes what the movie believes true Christianity should be.

November 20, 2010I thought it was hilarious in high school, gets less funny as an adult and you analyze da chuuch issues. Solid satire.

December 21, 2008I quite enjoyed this movie. Perhaps there is too much idealism - the chances of the outcasts being such good friends is remote, but it is nice to hope that even the outcasts of the world make it through graduation as happy as they do in this movie.

November 2, 2008Mean Girls in a Christian school with slightly more-nuanced acting. With a little bit of Juno mixed in for good measure. Mandy Moore is delicious and Jena Malone is a cutie. I love satires masking as teen comedies.

A minor work, yet it has a teasing lilt to it, and to make it at all took courage and originality.
June 24, 2004
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
After two comically inventive scenes, it quickly turns soft and flat. Full Review

Something puts the fear of God into Saved! about halfway in. Full Review

Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
Saved! is one of those frustrating little movies that I wanted to like more than I actually did. Full Review

An afterschool special gone deliciously wrong. Full Review

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Blessed by a potent cast, Saved! lets its teens be teens -- pimples, if not warts, and all. Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News
There are many blessed moments in this movie.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Has the glitteringly satiric dialogue of Election -- and the soul of an after-school special. Full Review
