I rented two movies last night, “Mean Girls” on Jo’s recommendation, and “Saved!” on nobody’s recommendation. The first was mildly entertaining but not that great, and I lost interest before even 45 minutes had passed. “Saved!” however, was awesome. It was clever, it was funny, it was well-written and well-acted. I’ve always been a fan of Jena Malone, who plays the main character, and she was good in this. Mandy Moore, as a holier-than-thou senior, completely cracked me up (“I crashed my van into Jesus!”). Patrick Fugit is still adorable (“what about tomorrow night, will you be dating then?”). And the rest of the cast was great as well.
I’m not really in the mood to write much more of a movie review, so I’ll just stop here. But I highly recommend “Saved!” Very funny and clever movie.
