Review of Saved!

Saved! (2004)
6/10
Often obvious, but fun and great to see early performances

One problem with a satire on modern Christians is that so much of what they actually do is pretty close to the satire shown here, so it's hard to know sometimes what is taken from actual Christian attempts to be up to date and wha is real satire. The mean girls theme here is fairly predictable, the best aspect of it today being watching Mandy Moore in righteous bitch mode. McCaulkey Cauklin's role as a disabled student would probably be unthinkable today, but it is fun to see him play this really snarky character who beats people to the punch with sharp jokes on his own disability. Parker Posey plays in a straighter mode than we usually see and of course do so well. It gets a little messagey at the end but chrages past that to a gleefully over the top ending. But it's a little formula overall.
