  • Starring: Erin Bethea, Kirk Cameron
  • Summary: At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter’s adage; never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules. After seven years of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that Catheririne wishes she had never married. As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb’s father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experimental he calls “The Love Dare”. When Caleb discovers the book’s daily challenges are tied into his parents’ newfound faith, his already limited interest is further dampened. Is it too late to fireproof his marriage? Caleb Holt’s job is to rescue others, but now he has to face his toughest job ever…rescuing his wife’s heart. (Samuel Goldwyn Films)… Expand

    While hardly sophisticated in its approach and certainly not polished in its technical elements, the film does get its heartfelt message across with undeniable sincerity.

    The filmmakers hedge their bets by making the young marrieds agnostic at the start of the movie, in order to turn Fireproof into a manual for eternal as well as marital salvation.

    Then the film gets all religulous, suggesting that Caleb's devotion to healing means nothing without Jesus, and so Fireproof stops becoming relatable to us all and only to the already, or easily, indoctrinated.

    Makes for fruitful soul-fishing but lousy drama.

    Goodness, this world has really changed. The movie is about sanctity of marriage. Something we have seemed to lose in this democratic society we are living in. Anyway this is a good movie, go buy it.… Expand

    so so acting with a storyline that should have been better developed; still gets it's message across whether you are a believer or not that marriage takes work; there are alot of guys out there like Caleb who do not know how to appreciate their wives and this movie should be a wake up call for them; also re: the lure of the feelings one gets from attention (i.e. Dr. Keller towards Catherine) when she could have focused more on saving her marriage too… Expand

    Don't get me wrong, I found the message of the movie agreeable. It discusses the truth about love and marriage. However, the movie as art is abysmal. The script has some gaping holes. The acting, with the exception of Kirk Cameron at times, is rigid and forced. Christians should have the best art out there, not the worst. Don't be fooled into thinking this movie is good just because you agreed with the theme.… Expand
