Why so much hype?
Great Film overall
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This is my 2nd favorite Kendrick Brothers movie, after Courageous. I did not see it until I was 16 though. I have a family friend who only mainly watches Christian movies and she was telling me about it when I spent a week with her. "You've seen Fireproof, right?" she asked. "No, actually." (shocked and excited) "You've never seen Fireproof?" "No. I think Mom and Dad used to own it but I never saw it." "Oh-we are watching that this week!" And because of that, I loved it. I got my own DVD of it and saw that DVD twice-once with my guardian. It was a fantastic look at how God wants us to live out our marriages. if you have not seen it, I definitely think you should!
Rebuilding a marriage that seems lost is no easy task. In many cases many consider it impossible but this movie offers one way of dealing with the process. Although a little unrealistic, it is within the realm of possibility. It's my opinion that there are too many of these kinds of movies that have a 'happy' ending where things turn out like they're supposed to. In real life, that isn't always the case.Wanted to give it a 10 because it has such good messages but it wasn't very well done. Would like to see a story that would help families that deal with the same subject but where it doesn't turn out well in the end. The website says that about 50% of people married will suffer a divorce. I know there are a lot of people that could use help rebuilding they're lives after a divorce. Right now I could use a good movie that would help a little boy that lost his mom, leaving him an orphan.
Is your marriage considered fireproof?Well,we have this Christian movie with some suggestions to have it characterized as such.The Kendrick Brothers - Alex and Stephen -released this Christian film entitled "Fireproof".It stars Kirk Cameron and Erin Bethea.It tells the story of a couple - Caleb and Catherine - who are at the brink of separation and divorce after constant arguments and fighting that have characterized their marriage.Caleb,a fireman by profession,decided to save their marriage and give it chance to survive once more time with a Christian-based experiment known as "Love Dare" coming from his religious father.Will the marriage survive?Well,I think that I should have not asked that question considering that the viewer knows the answer to that when Caleb was in Day 1 of his 40-day experiment.Although it was only Caleb who seemed interested in saving the marriage which I felt wasn't really good in the plot and it was obviously a Christian movie which will definitely turn off viewers who are non-believers,I think that the movie did well in its presentation of how to save a marriage that is about to break.We get to see Caleb's sincerity in giving it another try.Also,I admire the determination he showed.The Christian viewer will definitely see how God was working on him to help save the marriage that probably has no chance whatsoever to hang on considering that Catherine is already looking forward to signing the papers and a relationship with a doctor/co-worker named Gavin.There truly is nothing impossible for the Lord our God especially when it is in His will for the marriage to survive.This Christian movie will definitely inspire young couples to have a strong marriage and to have the Lord involved in it through prayer and scripture reading.
It's a nice Christian movie that tells its story without being overly or hyperbolically depended on notion of supernatural miracles, but by having to go through the process. One thing is quite bad for me is that the movie takes too much duration to up to about two hours. But I think the movie gets the length it takes to a good use by building on the characters well enough, even to the main supporting characters. Kirk Cameron and Erin Bethea did quite an okay job. They give out expressions nicely though the body language doesn't really compensate much to the scenes' mood. I like how Ken Bevell did just enough to balance to perspectives for the story with his role.
