Here it comes! the last installment of Back to School Movies!!!Saved!
Mary is a devout Christian and believes that God has a plan and a reason for everything, so she tries to follow that plan, even when it tells her to have sex with her boyfriend to cure him from his gay-tendencies, she goes and does it.
Only that her boyfriend gets sent to Mercy House - a sort of gay-no-more camp - and she ends up pregnant.
Soon, what promised to be a great year in Mary's life starts to turn sour, especially after her one-time-friend Hillary Faye (Mandy Moore) turns against her while Mary tries to hide her pregnancy. Luckily, Mary finds unexpected allies in Cassandra - the only Jewish student in the school - and Hillary Faye's brother.
And even though boys is the last thing Mary wants to think about, she can't help to think about Patrick - the pastor's son - who seems to want to be with her no matter what.
I know it sounds like I've said a few offensive things while trying to summarize this story but really, the movie isn't about that. It's not anti-christian or anti-gay or anti-anything. I've always thought it's about finding friends in unexpected places and coming to terms with what having faith really means.
The fact that it all happens during a school year, makes it good for back to school entertainment.
