Customer Rating:      Summary: Worth the Time...May Change Your Life... Comment: This movie is a must-see for so many reasons. For your consideration:
Despite the title and fiery photographs/trailers, this is not a movie just about intense drama and danger. Don't misunderstand, there is plenty of edge-of-seat drama and enough danger to make the two hour movie fly by, but if you don't want to see it because of the intensity factor, rest assured, the intensity is secondary to the story of Kat and Caleb.
Though this movie is made by a church, and mentions the uncomfortable words, Jesus, sin and afterlife, it also covers heavy, heavy subject matters that plague so many marriages. Though Jesus, sin and afterlife are mentioned throughout I'd estimate that spiritual matters are probably discussed a total of ten minutes in the two hours of film.
There is a touch of cheesiness. The low budget, the melding of soundtrack/dialogue in a few scenes, and the woodenness of a few secondary characters were minor irritants. However, Kirk Cameron does an outstanding job. I was truly impressed. I wasn't enthusiastic about the Left Behind movies and his part seemed pretty one-dimensional in that series of films. But in Fireproof, Kirk hits every possible emotion and is very believable as a man who is facing a fork-in-the-road.
The writing is well-done. The filmmakers have thrown in their customary goofy humor. Several scenes are laugh out loud funny which again makes the two hours fly by. Humorous one-liners are peppered throughout.
Fireproof is not just for married couples or married couples in a at-risk relationship. Everyone on the planet has relationships. The common sense "Love Dare" instructions and suggestions could help restore, mend or soften any hardened, near-dead relationship you might have.
I appreciated the realism that was represented in Kat and Caleb's struggle. Having a marriage that was as bad as theirs, and having been blessed by God's healing and restoration of said marriage, I know where they were coming from and their words and actions were very realistic. That realism and the end result should resonate with couples everywhere and bring hope to some really desperate people.
See this movie. Wait, if you must, for the budget theaters or for Red Box rentals so you don't have to shell-out big dollar movie ticket money. However, if you are in a relationship that is dying, I'd suggest that you invest the $8 or $10 a ticket and see it tonight.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Splendid!!!!!!! Comment: Absolutely loved this movie. I would put it in my personal top 5. Excellent message.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Better than 10 counseling sessions Comment: My husband was told to go see this movie...over and over again by friends and churchgoers who were praying for us during our separation after 41 years. The movie told a story that is so typical of what goes on in marriages today and why they break up...but never spoken about in this way. Now reality was on the big screen and all I could think was, "Yes, that's how us women feel." My husband teared up throughout the movie. It was better than 10 counseling sessions. Go alone or go together, but GO SEE THIS MOVIE or order it. Absolutely wonderful script.
Customer Rating:      Summary: An AMAZING Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comment: This was an amazing movie! The best that Sherwood Pictures has ever produced! Kirk Cameron was wonderful as Caleb. Erin Bethea, who played Caleb's wife, was great as well, especially since this is her first big production! I LOVE the movie and I can't wait until it comes out! AMAZING!!!!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Required Viewing Comment: This is the first really good movie I have seen in a very long time. I rarely watch any movies anymore. I am sick of sleeze, profanity and blashphemy.
This movie should be required viewing in high school, and to get a marriage license.
I had no idea Kirk Cameron was such an accomplished actor. I am proud of him. I hope I see him in many more movies.

Lt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it's his natural instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it's another story. After a decade of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's dad asks his son to try an experiment: The Love Dare. While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents' newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God's love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that's no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke?
