A feel-good drama, Fireproof has a strong agenda: stay married, lead an honest life, and let your faith in a higher power help guide you. A still boyish-looking Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) stars as Caleb Holt, a mercurial-tempered firefighter whose marriage is on the rocks. He clearly enjoys his status as a hero, but it comes at the expense of his marriage. His wife Catherine (Erin Bethea) is tired of the distance and wants him to make more of an effort at home, rather than surf porn on the Internet and hoard his earnings toward his dream fishing boat instead of helping out her disabled mother. Faced with impending divorce, Caleb's dad challenges him to follow the "40-day love dare," in which each task (cook her dinner, say nothing negative, etc.) is meant for him to better understand love and commitment and try and win his wife back. The third film by brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, Fireproof is the siblings' most polished feature. Cameron does a fine job of making Caleb real and believable, even when we're not always liking him. Though saddled at times with maudlin lines, Cameron adds emotion and range to his role. There is a not so subtle theme that the Holts--who at the beginning of the film are agnostic--needed religion to save their marriage. Clearly, Fireproof believes in its agenda and was made with the Christian audience in mind. Whether secular audiences will fall under its spell as well is debatable. But no one should walk away from the film offended. --Jae-Ha Kim

A Masterpiece!,
By
This review is from: Fireproof (DVD)
This movie has it all. You will laugh (some great humour) and you will cry (tears of joy) and there are a couple of good firefighter action scenes too. The tough times of marriage are portrayed in a vivid way that every married person, Christian or not, can identify with. Along with this, the love of God in the context of marriage is communicated in an amazingly clear way. This movie will help Christians, and those who are seeking to understand what Christianity is all about, see how God intends a marriage to work. For people who aren't Christians, this movie gives one of the best presentations of what Christianity is all about that I have ever seen.

Life Changing,
This review is from: Fireproof (DVD)
I watched this movie with my husband, and he fully expected to hate it, but we both enjoyed the movie!! I love a good chick flick with a happy ending. The movie made us think and talk about our marriage. Although the movie was a little preachy at times, it is a film that can be enjoyed by everyone.
