SAVED! (2004)

Saved!Entertaining? Definitely. Funny, irreverent, but not insulting, unless you're very hardcore Christian.
Technically any good? Very realistic up to the climax at which point it becomes very idealized and, frankly, unrealistic. But it's a hopeful ending that suggests we can all get along.
How did I feel as the credits rolled? Very satisfied. This movie does a good job of portraying true believers in Jesus as people who both believe too much, too little and in between. It's not a perfect film, but it does mean well. If you're interested in a movie that makes fun of extreme Christianity, check this out. If you don't like your people being made fun of, it's probably not for you. But if you are Chirstian and you have a sense of humor, you'll probably enjoy this movie just fine.
Final Rating? SIYL
