Product Description
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.
Amazon.com
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

This is a great movie that shows you what real love and commitment to your marriage should be.
Fireproof March 9, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
A heroic fireman locked in a failing marriage accepts his father's challenge to take part in a 40-day experiment designed to teach both husband and wife the true meaning of commitment. When he's battling blazes, Capt. Caleb Holt adheres to the old firefighter's adage about never leaving your partner behind; back at home, it's an altogether different story. Caleb and his wife Catherine have been married for seven years, but lately arguments over career, housework, finances, and outside interests have driven the once-happy couple hopelessly apart. Kirk Cameron plays Caleb Holt and is the only professional actor in this movie. Since other parts are played by non-professionals, I consider the acting to be first rate. Sure, the production quality is not great by Hollywood standards, nor does it have the hype. A stunning movie that will shake the way you look at marriage in today's modern society, where divorce is the prevalent, primary option. A great movie to watch. I would recommend this movie to anyone married or not.
Great movie! (even if You don't believe in God, the message is still good!) March 8, 2010
Solomon A. Cong
Great movie, most people who gave 1 star are somewhat bias against Christians.. This movie gives a great message. I take it as "not by men's power alone."
America has a divorce rate of more than 50%! wow. Come on now. Marriage is just too cheap in their eyes.
Just a interesting fact of the movie: The actor in the end scene actually kissed his own wife. He didn't want to kiss another woman. He knew he only wanted to kiss wife, no one else. So he requested in the end scene to kiss own wife instead of the actress who played his wife in the movie.
Life Changing Movie!!!! March 1, 2010

After watching this movie, your marriage will never be the same! It will make a grown man cry and want to do everything he can to keep his marriage going in the right direction, which is instructed by God.

So before I get into content, let me say that the ending was fairly cool -- because I'm a Christian. But if I were any non-Chistian, I would have walked out of the movie. But, if you didn't realize this was a Christian movie going in, you're a big dummy.
Next, mind you I just finished watching this movie 30 minutes ago. It's 12:30 at night and I have to get up at 6:00am. I tell you that because I need to emphasize how bleeping ticked off I am.
There isn't one guy, who could honestly watch this movie, who if asked by another guy, what he thought of the movie would answer "that was the biggest man-slamming, female dominated, liberal piece of junk I have ever seen".
Can we just take out the Jesus parts for a minute? I mean for the sake of discussion. I love Jesus. I am a huge fan. But let's focus on all the other parts of the movie. Kirk Cameron basically, in order to "be forgiven" by his wife (for watching internet porn, not doing enough around the house, not "listening to her" not "communicating" with her and for asking her to grocery shop) needs to prostrate himself before her royal majesty, smash his computer, donate his life savings ($26,000), buy her chocolate, flowers, make her candlelight dinner, make her coffee, do the dishes, Call her at work just to check-in, do the grocery shopping, convert to Christianity, give up on his dream of owning a boat, plus suffer the agony of being offered marriage counciling from his own mom and dad (who just saved their own marriage a year earlier. I mean really, really?
Oh, by the way, while he is doing all this "sucking up" or "pennance for his sins", his wife is majorly hitting on a another married man (a doctor, just to make men in the audience cringe even more)takes off her wedding band, serves him divorce papers, and scoffs at him bedside at the hospital while he is nursing a burn injury and being attended to by previously mentioned doctor)
The movie is so lopsided (as most marriages are post-60's) due to the mainstream fantasy of what a man is supposed to do in a marriage, everything. GET OVER IT LADIES, HE DOES NOT EXSIST. YOU WILL NEVER GET HIM TO BE YOUR SLAVE. Kirk Cameron (whom I admire for his brazen hutzpah in regard to his faith) really let me down with this liberal drewl.
I'm not saying that there aren't some sick husbands out there, but of those real "sickos" how many are renting "Fireproof" and sitting down with popcorn with mama? Gimme a freaking break. Most guys that are watching this movie are sophisicated, frustrated and want to maintain the family.
With every action there is an equal and opposing reaction. The queen had something to do with it. Kirk is ticked off, but why? Yes, possibly it is lack of fulfillment through Jesus. But also likely, it's because of the fact that he is depressed with the economy, can't spend time with mama in front of the tv because all she wants to watch is Idol, Housewives, Man V Food, Wife Swap, House Hunters, Cribs, and all this other mind-rotting gluttonous, immoral garbage they feed us, heaven forbid she watch something the whole family wants to watch.
The guy is stressed that the dollar could crash anyday, our nation is involved in 2 wars, unemployment is at a 26 year high, national debt is over 11 trillion, budget deficits at 1.5 trillion, discussions abound regarding cap and trade, global warming, national health care, illegal immigration, stuff just goes on and on.....But now he needs to grocery not only be a Fire Dept. Captain and loyal husband, but also a housewife.
I would just like to see the director look at the queen and her faults if he is going to "judge" Kirk... Have we become so liberal that we can't critique our wives? Liberalism has destroyed the American family and the United States of America. We all know it. If in a marriage, we cease being two seperate bodies and become one, what is a body, without a head? And what does the bible teach us about marriage? Who is the head? The word used is "master". The husband is the master. Liberalism has it flipped on its head. The female is "the master" and the respect for each other is in the toilet. Man knows in his soul he is master, but she does not respect him as so. She knows that she is not master, but pretends to be - sheepishly.
Fireproof does nothing to be fair and equitable. Man was born to lead and serve the family, the female made to support the man. This marriage, is a marriage only Hollywood (a liberal, man bashing, man hating Hollywood) could create.
It is not biblical, it is false teaching. Men, stand up and be men. Women, confess your faults and support your husbands. Kirk did show he was the master, by making all the sacrifices to save the marriage - but ladies, if Christ sacrificed for us and we sacrifice back to Him shouldn't the same happen in our homes? What did the queen sacrifice? Not sleeping with a married man? Not following through with a divorce? I mean, think about it.
