Movie Review (Fireproof)
I had been wanting to see this film for quite awhile since Facing the Giants was so good. Produced by Sherwood Pictures, this was another good movie. I can't say the movies are great because the acting is terribly mediocre in both of the films I have seen. What is NOT mediocre are the fantastic stories and lessons. I think even a non-believer would be able to appreciate the struggles and trials shown in the films even if they don't agree about the solution that is presented.
In Fireproof a marriage is failing and seems destined for collapse. Caleb Holt (Kirk Cameron) is not a good husband but is a typical man. This is a deadly combination in a marriage, and is one of the reasons divorce is so rampant in America. Caleb's dad challenges him to complete a 40-day "Love Dare." During the course of the movie the plot takes a few twists and turns that are quite imaginative and altogether very realistic. The story is fantastic and will grip you emotionally in spite of the lack of actors. The folks used in the movie do absolutely the best that they can considering most of them are congregation members of Sherwood Baptist in Albany, Georgia.
Go see this movie.

I saw this a couple months ago in the theater with my wife, and we both thought it was very good. In fact, I thought the acting was better In this than Facing the Giants. Both are certainly well worth the time to see.
