Powerful movie about important teen issues.
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.

One of The Best!!!
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.

Great, emotionally intense movie. Iffy stuff throughout.
Suggested MPAA Rating:
PG-13 for mature thematic elements involving teen suicide, teen drinking/partying, drug use, disturbing images, sexuality, and language.
Great movie, with great messages, but not appropriate for anyone under 14

ABSOLUTE MUST SEE FOR ALL TEENS
This movie EYE-OPENING. Beyond GREAT message. It can change the your view on how you treat others, and how our peers are treated around us. How it is so much for than 'just fun' and how what seems like "innocent fun" can physically, spiritually, mentally, emotional hurt and kill us and those around us. This movie is a REFRESHING CHANGE amongst all the sex/drug promoting movies. Families watch it with your teens, have their friends over...try suggesting some discussion afterwards. When my family and some other teens saw it at the theatre, automatic and immediate discussion followed...
I can't emphasize or say enough POSITIVE things about this movie.

best movie ever!!!!SAve a life!!!!!!!!
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.

Not for anyone younger than 13 but older teens and adults will like it
This was a good movie with good messages. The only things i would look out for is a suicide, cussing but its not too bad, and a light sex scene. But it is a good christian movie.

A MUST SEE for Teens!!
This movie is very intense. It tackles all kinds of problems teens face these days including drinking, drugs, sex, abortion, pregnancy, cutting, Christianity (new faith), suicide, bullying, peer pressure, and more. The acting is outstanding! The storyline is incredible! And, though it has some inapproriate language, drinking, and sex, this is a must see for teens! It has good messages overall and is about finding yourself and not just following the crowd. I have seen it once, really want to see it again, and can't wait to buy it when it comes out on DVD. "What's the point of all this if you're not going to let it change you?" -Jake Taylor (To Save a Life)

To Save A Life (:
To Save A Life was a VERY well scripted movie! It shows points that NEED to be seen. It is also about things that teens truly do go through, and shows their struggles. Being a teenager, obviously I would notice this. Sure, there was partying, smoking, drinking, and (hardly) a curse word.- but it's a movie about teens! These are the things that happen in teens lives. The message was clear.
