I might just ahve to see that. I think I saw a trailer for it on the barbershop 2 DVD. Maybe I'll just buy it on DVD when it comes out andd addit to the collection right next to Kevin Smith's Dogma.

That's the ticket. An anti-religion, pro homo movie with a soundtrack by marilyn manson, a priest for the church of satan.

I saw it last night. Kind of cheesy, but having spent a good amount of time around the Jesus freaks, I would have to say that a lot of the caricatures are hilariously accurate.

DON'T watch this movie. I saw it last night (my wife is a BlockBuster freak and rents every damn movie in sight). This is one of the WORST movies that I have seen in a LONG LONG time. And we wonder why our kids are so f&^%$# up?????
It made the devil happy though

I rented it today, I thought it was well done. The "jewish" chick in it was pretty hot.
McCauley Caulkin has the child actor's curse though, its hard to look at him as anything other than as "the home alone kid". |

Heard of it, sounded idiotic. Just Hollywood going out of their way to bash Christianity again. I'm not Christian, but I do get tired of the Left's never-ending attempts to suppress Christianity and ridicule it's followers (all while plugging Islam as the religion of peace, of course).

The problem is that people judge "christians" by what they say.
NOT by the content of the Bible. (The final arbiter of matters of the Christian faith...) If they did, then the hypocrite would be easy to spot and rebuke. Jesus had to deal with a lot of hypocrites Himself, and His words to them were unkind. If you study the Bible, you find little gems like: " 3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. " 1st John chapter 2 Judge people who call themselves Christians by the Book, not by those who profess Christ without posessing Christ. Judge me by the standard of my Savior. I will not always measure up, but I do strive to be more like Him. Some do not strive to be like Jesus but instead use Him to enhance their own opinion of themselves. I confess that no man needs a savior worse than I do. There is not a person on this earth that was more destined for hell than me. But God, in His infinate mercy, struggled with me all my life, until the day I surrendered. Now I am no longer what I was, not by my power, but by His. I stand before Him whole and clean because of His faithfulness and sacrifice, and not because of anything I have done. I stand completely on the strength of who He is, not who I am.

It's just one bite, what's the harm Adam?? Sorry. Couldn't pass that one up... A Christian movie exalts Christ. I sincerely doubt that this movie does that. What it most likely does is try to innoculate people against the Gospel message. This it does to their great harm.... |

For those of you that think the movie saved is just a bunch of fun, that is OK to denigrate believers of Jesus Christ, how did you feel about Bowling for Columbine? Hollywood would love to keep bashing Christianity until people view it as a joke. Hollywood and the major media players have a HUGE impact on the general public's opinions.
Do we like when Hollywood depicts gun owners as a bunch of gun waving maniacs? Do all southerners drive pickups with gunracks and confederate flags? Howard Dean and half of the country ( Liberals ) believes so. That all comes from what they see in the media. Do what you want , but I will not be putting money in their pockets. Thank God for people like John Wayne 777! |

Oh yeah, another thing. Hollywood seems all fired up about making fun of those eeeeeeevil Christians. Why don't they ever make fun of the Communist Left that's trying to destroy American and everything it stands for?
I can't think of anything particularly sinister the Christians have tried to do in the last century or so (unless you think nativity scenes are pure evil). But for 50 to 100 years, the Communist Left has been hell-bent on imposing totalitarian government on first the US, and then the whole planet. Even now, they campaign tirelessly to raise our taxes to fund useless government programs, steal our elections, suppress our rights, crush dissent, subjugate us to the UN, destroy our culture, and eliminate our influence in the world, all while lying endlessly about what they're doing. Why can't we make fun of those fuckers instead? They're the threat to Freedom and Democracy in the world, not the Christians. Part of their campaign of constant lies is to accuse the Christians and the "Religious Right" of trying to do everything that they've been doing. |

Unfortunately Freedom of Speech is part of that pesky bill of rights.  The distinction I would make between Bowling for Columbine and Saved is that Saved is a comedy that uses charicatures of people for laughs. Bowling for Columbine is a propoganda film thinly vieled as a "documentary." A closer analogy to making fun of gun owners would be Burt Gummer in Tremors, or Mark Rumsfeild in The Burbs. The characters are the extremes, but they have their positive points. I think Saved did a good job of showing characters from all ends of the spectrum of christianity. Having went to several private christian schools as a kid, I find many of the character portrayals as entirely plausible. Watching "Saved" I was very much reminded of another recent release, "Mean Girls"....the underlying teen angst plot lines are very similar, along with several of the plot devices. The "Christian Jewels" in Saved could easily be replaced with "The Plastics" of Mean Girls, or the cheer-leading squad of any other teen movie. I think the Christian theme was the movie company's way of differentiating what would otherwise be another mundane teen angst movie into something controversial that would get people's attention. It seems in that mission, they succeeded. |

When Follywood starts making movies that mock Islam, then MAYBE they'll be onto something. Otherwise, it just sounds like the same ol' Christian-mocking in movies that's been redone a million times before. |
