✨ a film for every year of my life ✨ | Saved! (2004) dir. Brian Dannelly

The Christian thing to do? I have been doing the Christian thing my whole life! I did not have sex with a gay and try to blame it on Jesus!

Hey party people, are you looking for an older movie that's funny and casual and not wildly offensive?

May I suggest Saved! a 2004 film (it's 20 years old???) featuring a wide array of famous actors as high school students at a very Christian high school.

Mary, the main character, accidentally gets pregnant with her gay boyfriend's baby. Gasp but before either of them know, he's sent away to a sort of conversion camp (No worries, it’s all lighthearted and not traumatizing) leaving her to keep the secret to herself---until the new girl (an outcast who I am in love with) at school figures it all out.

The movie is indie and currently one of my favorites. It has a very happy ending and I didn't get stressed or anxious or triggered at all while watching it.

The trailer if anyone is interested.

Why didn't this gifset already exist. This scene is made to be a gifset. It's as subtle as a ton of bricks and yet, it's perfect. It lives eternally in my heart. Jena Malone, you are the avatar of many a teen's mid-2000s dark night of the soul.

Mandy Moore in 2002:

Stars in “A Walk to remember” which is a surprisingly sensitive and realistic portrayal of being a religious teen girl who is ruthlessly bullied and has badly photoshopped ironic porn of her spread throughout her school to mock and shame her for not having a penis inside of her yet. She also loves studying science especially astronomy because science doesn’t inherently conflict with her faith and she LITERALLY DIES OF CANCER at the end.

Mandy Moore in 2004:

Stars in “Saved!” Which is a mean spirited, condescending, patronizing, bad faith satire of religious girlhood where OF FUCKING COURSE a religious girl gets pregnant as a teen after a failed attempt at converting a gay boy. Her pregnancy is later publicly revealed to the whole world without her consent to mock and humiliate her because come on isn’t that funny guys????? Mandy Moore is NOT the one who gets pregnant but is one of the religious bullies.

Teen girls just can’t win can they? Make it make sense Mandy Moore 🙄. You’re either bullied for being a sexually repressed prude or you’re fetishized as a porn category or called a hypocrite for having sex.

Saved! (2004)

⭐️⭐️⭐️ .5

This one was a bit on the nose, but I enjoyed it because it pushes past being over-the-top. In short, this movie knows exactly what it’s trying to be, and how this story can be told with a humorous approach. Thank god for that, because so many stories about Christians can turn very preachy very quickly (the preachiness in this one is much more palatable).

In short, everyone in this movie is a “good” Christian that happen to sin sometimes. Revolutionary, I’m sure.

Watch this film if:

you have a complicated relationship with God (catholic guilt here! ✌️)

Scripture is more of a guideline for you

Similar titles:

Chewing Gum (2015-2017) (hilarious series about a repressed Christian girl)

Yes, God, Yes (2019) (coming-of-age sex comedy taking place at a Christian summer camp)

St. Trinian’s (2007) (British comedy, feels like the roles between Cassandra and the rest of the Christians are reversed in this film)

"Is that how you speak to your ma who worked nights so you could eat? Who stayed in labor without painkillers so you wouldn't turn dim-witted like your cousin Jimmy? Had I known you would grow so ungrateful I would have held you in!"
