This movie was a m a z i n g my favorite... ever. I disagree with the common sense ratings on it, It's nothing too intense, and I'm EXTREMELY squeamish. It is however very mature, dealing souly with teen suicide, but it's a VERY POWERFUL movie. The main character, Jake is an amazing role model in that he made some really big mistakes, but he turned his life around. Also, there's another version of the movie that you can buy that is for churches to show that takes out some of the cussing and sex and self mutilation , you just have to google it. This movie was great and powerful, and i don't think it's too intense for anyone over 13 or 14. I mean.. think about it.. self injury and suicide, even sex DOES GO ON IN MIDDLE SCHOOLS. This movie just portrays these issues in a powerful and meaningful way. Truly my favorite.

To Save A Life is a Good movie for teen entering high school as it gives a fairly realistic overview of the pitfalls they will face. Depression, suicide, bullying, loneliness, sex, drugs, pregnancy, confusion and pain all went to my high school. And yours? The film is a conversation-starter at least and, at best, guide to finding help. "Good" movies, faith films, and family movies can't win because if they show the problems people really face, then they're too worldly. If they suggest or encourage a morality determined by God, they appear to offer pat, unrealistic answers. The characters in the film make mistakes and deal with the consequences. God doesn't appear at the end and make it all better. Roger isn't resurrected and Amy's pregnancy test is still positive. The best part of the film is that character have to face their mistakes, find the answers, and take responsibility. That's a Good movie.

this movie is really good for older mature teens. the book was good also. make's you realize it's not always easy to change your way's.

At the end of this film, I was left with misty eyes. True, it lags some in the middle, but the messages ring true, helped by a very aptly acted lead (Randy Wayne as Jake Taylor). Though some say the end is stereotypical, I found it summed up the whole film beautifully. Watch it. You'll leave wondering what you can do 'to save a life'.

I loved this movie, and it is not inappropriate since it is a Christian movie. Amy and Jake have sex at the beginning, she wears a shirt that reveals her breasts a lot. They smoke and get drunk at a party. There is violence, a fight, a bomb, a kid shoots himself. They use mild language, too. But they all end up as great role models (Amy, Jake, etc.) This movie teaches a valuable lesson about Christianity. To bring someone to God is to save their life.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! its a really good movie!!!

I'm thinking of having my girl scout troop (12/13 year olds - 7th graders) watch this movie as a group and sent a note to the moms to see if they think it's appropriate. I know my 12 year wouldn't have a problem watching it. I feel middle schoolers are not naive and that knowledge is power. The scene where the main character and his girlfriend are in bed is done tastefully. It is implied, there are no naked bodies. The scene where the gun is used in the school may be a little scary, but it can open up the discussion, "what would you do in this situation". Unfortunately, in this day and age, everyone needs to be aware of the situation around them.

I was a bit hesitant to go and watch this film. I had seen a few other Christian films before and the acting was not impressive, resulting in a big distraction from the actual story. This was not the case in To Save a Life. The acting was not at the same level of movies with A-List actors, but not bad enough to create a distraction. As I already mentioned, because the acting was up to par, I was able to concentrate on the story and what exactly was going on. The story was excellent. I applaud everyone in and involved with the film because of how daring they were with portraying a lifestyle that is so prevalent in today’s society, but never portrayed or talked about by churches. As a child, I was raised going to church every Sunday and Wednesday and I was never told about that kind of lifestyle. I just knew that whatever it was, it was frowned upon. Now that To Save a Life surfaced, I believe that people will now be able to see what that lifestyle is about and the destruction it can cause along with how, if managed correctly, it can be a good way to relax by just hanging out with friends and not worrying about anything. The “relatability” is fantastic. They showcase so many different characters in which anyone can find a person they can relate to. It was a great film, and I will and have suggested it to all my friends and family.

I LUV THIS MOVIE. My favorite character in the movie was Jonny, because i can relate to him. This movie helped me and many of my friends. Honestly if the whole world saw this mabey teen suicides would go down. There was nothing in the sex scene, THE DIDNT SHOW ANYTHING. And it brought me closer to my faith so this is overall my favorite movie and one of the best movies ive seen i just watched it today for the 20th time or more probely. Like TO Save A Life sas a movie cant chang a worl but the people who whatch it can. So whatch it you might end up saving a life.
