Rolling Stone
Fanaticism is Dannelly's target, not faith. That's what makes his film a keeper: It sticks with you. - 70
Variety
The spirited comedy ultimately kneels before an all-embracing deity, which could appease the God squad provided they get through all the wickedly funny zealot-bashing that comes first. - 70
L.A. Weekly
Though Saved! is funny and irreverent, Dannelly isn't just taking potshots at fundamentalism. He creates a viable world, then riddles its surface piety with underground transgressions that call into question not Christian belief but slavish, intolerant religious practice. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
The director-cowriter, Brian Dannelly, has great fun tweaking the way American Christianity has been born again as a commodified, suburbanized, pop-saturated belief system. - 60
Film Threat
Saved! is just a sweet and funny movie that starts off with bite but settles into an honest feeling of happiness and acceptance for all types of people and their choices. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
This comedic jape delivers some sharp jabs at obvious targets, namely the boosterish excesses of American religiosity. - 60
The New Yorker
Saved! is a minor work, yet it has a teasing lilt to it, and to make it at all took courage and originality. [31 May 2004, p. 88] - 50
The A.V. Club
If director Brian Dannelly were interested in taking his film into the realm of camp, the gag might have worked, but as is, it simply gives the impression that he doesn't quite know what he's talking about.
