Saved (the movie)
OK, I heard now this movie is actually a satire and rather anti-fundie? True? And is it any good? I previous decided to pay it no attention whatsoever because of Mandy Moore.

1. I enjoyed it
Yes, it is anti-fundie.

And to top it off, Mandy Moore is the "evildoer" (I'm chuckling as I'm writing this) in the movie.

3. Anyone who claims to be filled with Christ's Love and throwing
things is not nice...So I think it is a great film.

5. It was a bible she threw, wasn't it?
That's what it looked like in the preview. I want to see it!

10. Yes, right after... -spoiler-
She was performing an exorcism on Jena Malone's character... very funny. And the movie rocks...

4. I thought it was hilarious
It's definately a satire. The main plot is about a Xtian teenager who finds out her boyfriend is gay so she decides to have sex with him in order to "save" him and she gets knocked up in the process. Mandy Moore isn't this character though...she actually plays the snotty "bitch" friend. If you want to see "born again's" portrayed in a negative, funny, yet hypocritical light, you'll enjoy this movie.

7. Why would Mandy Moore turn you off from something?
She seems to be the only person worth looking at in that movie that I know of.

I just know that Mandy Moore and McCauly Culkin and that frumpy chick from the Julia Roberts stepmom movie were in it. I believe. And any red blooded American male would not be turned off by someone as flawless as this
