Sermon in heavy syrup

“The producers would like to thank: GOD” say the closing credits of the Christian drama “To Save a Life” — and I had pretty much the same sentiment when it finally ground to a conclusion after two full, mind-numbing hours.

Self-centered high school basketball player and BMOC Jake (Randy Wayne) Sees the Light and Gets Right With God after his best bud takes his own life and his girlfriend gets preggers.

Produced with the best of intentions by a California church and directed without distinction by first-timer Brian Baugh, “To Save a Life” would be bland and boring even as a half-hour after-school special.
