Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Tony I was christened, baptised and confirmed as a Catholic, taught righteousness by nuns at school. Then at a certain age I started asking why, or more importantly withdrew my blind faith. If God wants to punish me then fine, you're not my kind of God anyway. That's basically the central theme in this film, how all mainstream religions are nothing like the ideals set out by the leading texts they're founded on. This film is irreverent only in the satirical way, you can't preach morals if you make and break them at will.There is an interesting section of the film when the virgin birth is sort of questioned. Earlier examples would be how many Greek heroes were the sons of Zeus as his mortal father had been away fighting the past year. It's just a fun film, so if you are religious you can watch and laugh at so many apostates condemning themselves to eternal hell.Is it funny or strange how religions always have this sadistic element to them.

kandit1 This is someone's terrible view of American Evangelicals. High school students who believe in God are all naive, ignorant airheads. They are conniving, judgmental and shallow. The main character doesn't even know how to use an electric toothbrush for crying out loud.What are non-Christians in this movie? They are cool because they smoke, have pre-marital sex and ridicule Christians by calling them freaks. One line by Macaulay Culkin actually has him saying that the only reason a Christian would be at a Planned Parenthood clinic is to plant a pipe bomb! A completely unrealistic, offensive movie and I'm not even an Evangelical. Anyone who finds this entertaining must be a complete hypocrite.

madpigmadpig A catholic girl tries to turn her homosexual boyfriend heterosexual by going against her religious belief in chastity, but doesn't use protection and gets pregnant. Social stress and outsiderness ensues.This movie tries to be trendy and cute to force a point, and it doesn't work. The problems with the screen writing aren't un-fixable, but they are pronounced. Namely, too many internal contradictions and way too much preachy rhetoric (which is ironic, really). Firstly, in the beginning, the protagonist VO narrates that she's so pious that she tries to commit suicide to "be with the angels" like her dead father. Isn't suicide supposed to be a mortal sin? According to canon, she'd be with the fallen angels. Secondly, the protagonist then 'fornicates' with a guy outside of marriage - also supposedly a pretty big sin. Thirdly, the only Jew is portrayed as a complete a-hole who smokes (as a social protest?). Third-and-a-half-ly: smoking is portrayed as a cool, rebellious thing. Fourthly, the film repeated the creepy teen movie trope of the parent of the protagonist dating the parent of the protagonist's love interest (smacking of incest much?). As more minor writing flaws, they have the snotty girl do outlandishly criminal things as a reaction to a prank in which she wasn't even identified by name. Illogical. She also has a final meltdown later on after what seems like very little provocation. Also, the final preachy speech by the protagonist & friends at the end tries to make the Pleasantville argument (that attempting to live up to any ideal is wrong because everyone is just too 'different') seem sensible. The problem is that this rather weak argument essentially excuses anything, yet surely all actions and behaviors can't be part of the vast 'moral gray area.' Anyway, I wish I could have those 92 minutes back.If you still must watch, I'd recommend it for fans of the show Glee; one of the most offensively -ist shows on TV.Content notes: Contains quite a bit of swearing, some crude language.

narulagaurav Ratings: Comedy: 09 Acting: 10 Satire: 09 Relevance: 09Having watched Juno and agreed to its rating on IMDb (about an 8.00 at the time), I was sceptical on what this movie would have to offer. Boy, was I surprised!The plot is well crafted and the humour very biting. The acting is flawless, whether it be Malone, Moore, Martino or Culkin. Malone does deserve special mention though, as she shines throughout.Juno made the topic of teen pregnancy heavy. Saved! treats it in a lighthearted manner and still gets a lot of messages across.Watch it - it's cute and great at the same time.
