"I crashed my van into Jesus!"
I saw Saved! when it first came out in the theaters (with April I believe) and I loved it. I had not seen it in a long time, so when I swung by Hollywood Video to pick up six or seven DVDs for the week I slipped it into my stack.
What really stuck me about the movie is not how cruel it is to the characters, because even the bad characters only mean well, but how sympathetically they are portrayed. Even a spiteful Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore) is just not getting it right, as opposed to being plain evil. Eva Amurri ("the only Jewish" at an all Christian school) and Macaulay Culkin have true chemistry, and of course, Jena Malone is great. The cast rocks.
