iTunes $.99 Movie of the Week

Last week we had A snappy and exciting movie on sale - Ronin. This week we have Saved (Waring - iTunes link). It’s not quite as exciting or snappy, but I am sure someone will be want it. To be honest, this one is probably directed at the younger iPhone user set.

Here is the official description:

Classic teen comedy mixes with cunning satire in Saved!. Fervent Christian Mary (Jena Malone, Donnie Darko) believes God wants her to save her gay boyfriend by sleeping with him. But he gets sent to an anti-gay indoctrination camp while she ends up pregnant–which starts to drive a wedge between Mary and her snotty best friend Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore, How to Deal). Meanwhile, they’re both interested in the son (Patrick Fugit, Almost Famous) of their Christian school principal (Martin Donovan, Trust). Saved! respects faith but gleefully mocks the excesses and absurdities of contemporary organized religion, particularly its suburban, let’s-speak-the-language-of-the-kids manifestations. The actors, including Macaulay Culkin (yes, from Home Alone) and Mary Louise Parker (Fried Green Tomatoes), play their parts with sincerity, which makes the fusion of humor and heart succeed. A delightful movie. –Bret Fetzer

So, if you are interested in the movie, pick it up. For me, I might rent it so that my daughter can watch it on a weekend car trip.
