Fireproof

Saturday night, I went with a group of friends to see the new movie, Fireproof. This movie was made by the same church from Georgia that made Facing the Giants. And I must say that I was impressed. This movie had a strong message, and they fleshed out the story line very well.

Without giving away much of the plot, I will try to give you a quick summary of the movie. Caleb and Catherine are struggling through their marriage, that is seen from the very first few scenes of the movie. They both have their group of friends (Catherine's at the hospital and Caleb's at the fire station) who give them constant advice. And that is where they spend most of their days. At home, they begin to separate from each other hardly ever interacting. As their marriage begins to fail, Caleb's dad secretly gives him a book called "The Love Dare." This is a 40 day journey meant for Caleb to help get his marriage back up on the right tracks. So most of the movie focuses on his 40 day journey. The question is: will their marriage survive or has it already gone too far?

So do I recommend this movie for you to see? Yes.

Go out and support this Christian film. It may be some amateur acting and some places (although many of the actors were quite good), but we need to support these great films. There is also some cheesy scenes and quotes scattered throughout the movie, but you'll enjoy laughing at it. It's clean, fun humor, and all in all this movie is great. It runs for 2 hours, but you will be surprised at how fast those 2 hours go by. Go see the movie before it leaves theatres. I do not think you will be disappointed.
