Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

lorenzotomassi A very good message for everybody. I love this movie and all of Alex. Thank you for your job. God bless you!

Living the Wholesome Life I loved this movie. It is one of change. Change from not keeping the marriage covenant to being faithful.Change from thinking about yourself first to putting others first.It shows the heartache of a marriage that has problems and the heartache of trying to mend those problem. It also shows the joy that can come from love.It shows how destructive lust and infidelity can be to a marriage.There are so many things I love about this movie.**Talking points - Is viewing pornography being unfaithful to your spouse and your marriage? Does selfishness lead to greater selfishness? Does kindness lead to love? Can people change? Can love that is lost be rebuilt? Can trust that is lost be reestablished? What are you doing now that weakens your marriage and makes your marriage vulnerable? What can you do to protect your marriage? What can you do to mend your marriage?

Filipe Neto This film tells how Caleb (Kirk Cameron), a firefighter chief, tried to save his marriage with Catherine (Erin Bethea) through a forty-day challenge proposed by his father, an evangelical Christian. This is just another so-called "Christian film" made by US evangelical Christians to propagandize their ideas. They are very low-budget movies loaded with nasty and incisive religious propaganda, and this film doesn't differ from them, showing how a man without faith can be a terrible husband and how he changes when he embraces Jesus, his only way to save his marriage (and his soul, an implicit and subliminal allusion). The movie says that being a Christian transforms you, that you're good if you're Christian, that you're bad if you're not a Christian, that religion brings moral values ​​that you will not have otherwise. Unfortunately, I know many despicable people who spend their lives in churches or temples (regardless of religion) in a near heretical hypocrisy, so I've lost my innocence about it. Religion preaches moral values ​​but being religious doesn't necessarily mean practicing those values. In fact, they're more easily apprehended in the heart of the family than on a religious temple. So the message of this film, partial and propagandistic, is at the very least too optimistic and unrealistic to be credible. It's an insult to the intelligence of any thinking man who is not fanatically religious. Either way, the suggestions about marriage and how it should be are interesting and valid for anyone, even for an atheist, a civil union or a gay marriage. But it's a film made by religious and these heresy could never be said. The actors performance is painless, the mushy drama around their marriage is boring, predictable and worthy of a soap opera... I need to say more?

djansen24 Fireproof is a perfect example of why American Christians go in droves to see modern Christian movies. Why they prepare Bible study books based on the film. Why modern Christian films get so much hype at church. It is a triumph in modern Christian filmmaking...which is unfortunately not saying much. Like almost all Christian films, it is well intentioned. As a Christian myself, I see good possibilities in exploring cinema as a medium for evangelism and correcting societal evils. But this film will only preach to the choir. It is well shot by modern Christian standards. There is a certain levity to the film which makes for some amusing comedic moments (the hot sauce scene). The "Love Dare" plot device is an interesting vehicle for encouraging selfless love to our spouses. But the focus here is clearly on the message, and not the medium. See Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson if you want to see a film which gets both message and medium right.It is to be expected that churches will not have the budgets to finance professional actors. It is to be expected that churches will not have the budgets to produce a slick film (not compared to Hollywood standards, at least). But the church should be wise enough to concentrate on good scriptwriting. The film is a collection of modern evangelical church platitudes. While true that believers have the potential to have better marriages and deeper love than non-believers because of the power of God, the working out of it is complex. Near divorce situations require sound remedies that take Biblical truths and apply them to each specific couple's problem. What we get in this film are speeches by the characters that are so generic that they could apply to anybody. While that may give the viewer an inclusive feeling, it also leaves him/her without a real feeling of how the solution can be applied to them. The film is full of modern day church platitudes that are like "sound-bite" Christianity. They take the depth of Scripture and run ram-shod over it with a band-aid patching.I do not recommend this film for non-Christians unless they are really wanting to become Christians. What this film IS good for is preventative maintenance or at least helping when the marital decay is in its formative stages. This is a feel-good, sit back and relax with a cup of coffee kind of movie to enjoy with a Christian men's group, Christian women's group, Christian couple's night, or with your Christian spouse. And if it does add strength to your marriage, then, Amen! May the Lord continue to bless you!
