Saved!	comment	Saved! is a 2004 satirical teen dramedy film directed by Brian Dannelly and starring Jena Malone, Mandy Moore, Macaulay Culkin, Patrick Fugit, and Eva Amurri.Mary Cummings (Malone), a rising senior at American Eagle Christian High School, has a great life with wonderful friends, a great Christian boyfriend named Dean (Chad Faust), and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. But one day during the summer, Dean confides in her that he might be gay, and she has a Crisis of Faith. She makes a deal with God to cure him by having sex with him, and soon all is well.Then, on the first day of school, she's informed that Dean has been sent to Mercy House for "rehabilitation" after his parents discovered his gay porn stash. Then come the missed periods, and the morning sickness. As she struggles both with her faith and to hide her pregnancy from her single mom and judgmental friends, she finds an unlikely ally in Cassandra Edelstein (Amurri), a shunned Jewish bad girl who's only at the school because no one else will take her.

When Mary knocks her head on a ladder in the pool at the beginning, Dean slips on the pool deck and is thus unable to help her, which requires a nearby man with long hair to jump into the water to save her instead. This man bears a physical resemblance to what Mary believes Jesus looks like, and it is deliberately left up to the viewer to decide whether this means this inspired Mary's "vision" of Jesus or whether Mary's vision of Jesus was real.

He eventually discovers off-screen that Mary is pregnant, but he turns up with a limo and a corsage and reassures Mary that it's no big deal to him, and this is what finally convinces Mary to accept a date with him to the prom. His earlier reassurance that he isn't turned off by Mary's pregnancy is cemented by the end, as he visits Mary in the hospital after the baby's birth and is on good terms with Dean, the biological father of the baby.

Saved! / int_bb5126ec	comment	Prophecy Twist: An ambiguous example. The plot is kicked off when Mary believes she's received a vision of Jesus, who says to her, "Dean needs you now. You must do all you can to help him." Mary believes this means she has to sleep with Dean to cure him of being gay. It doesn't work, but the very fact that it doesn't work indirectly helps Dean come to terms with being gay, and he has a boyfriend at the end of the movie.

Saved! / int_bc00493f	comment	Precision F-Strike: After discovering she's pregnant, Mary stands in front of a church and says "Shit. Fuck. Goddamn." To her, the last is probably the most devastating curse word. The "shit" seems to have been dubbed in. As filmed, it looks like Mary is saying "fuck" twice. The first "fuck" was probably changed to "shit" to keep the movie PG-13.
