Brian Dannelly's Saved! is a halfhearted case in point. A teen comedy spewing [from] within a Jesus-freak sensibility, the movie makes the fatal error of trying to mollify its targets and ameliorate its own scorched earth. 



Set almost entirely in a Christian high school where assemblies begin with the vanilla-hip pastor (Martin Donovan) rousing the crowd with shouts of "Jesus is in the house!" Dannelly's farce holds to a reflexive [social] stratum ruled by mean girls (namely, Jesus-loving baby doll Mandy Moore). 



An ambivalent clique member, the ponderously named Mary (Jena Malone), is informed by her boyfriend (Chad Faust) that he's gay—a tragic condition warranting prayer meetings and exile to rehab centers. 



Mary's response is to receive a pool-bottom vision of Christ, and then [sacrifice] her hymen for the lug, in hopes of correcting his errant ways. ("Thank you, Jesus!" she sighs, post-balling.) 



Of course, the still-chaste Mary gets knocked up, precipitating a piety meltdown all around and forcing everyone (including her love-starved mom, played by Mary-Louise Parker) to re-examine their notions of Christian generosity.
