Saved

Patrick Fugit has grown up. He no longer looks so innocent. In fact, he looks sinister even though he plays a pastor's kid in Saved. Of course there's more to the movie than this little blurb about Fugit. Saved saved my Saturday from totally sucking. I laughed through the entire movie, a lot of times involuntarily, which scores major points with me. The kids (Mandy Moore, Jena Malone, Eva Amurri, Macaulay Culkin, Patrick Fugit, etc.) were all terrific and in character. Props to casting. Also props to the stranger on my right who somehow found the same moments funny. Synchronized laughter is the best.
