The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

WHAT'S FIREPROOF ABOUT? A firefighter with a failing marriage takes a challenge from his father to follow Christ and make changes to save his union.IS IT ANY GOOD? Another solid outing from Sherwood Pictures, the Christian production company behind Facing the Giants and Courageous. Fireproof is a wonderful examination of why marriages succeed or fail, and the roles that humility, forgiveness, and faith in Christ play in keeping relationships strong. Kirk Cameron proves a capable lead as a firefighter in a failing marriage who gradually gives himself to God and words to right the wrongs he's done to win back his wife's heart. A few sketchy moments of acting from supporting players notwithstanding, this is an insightful and virtuous film not to be missed.IS IT OKAY FOR YOUR KIDS? Fireproof is rated PG. A husband struggles with pornography (discussed but not seen); he gets rid of his computer to beat the habit. A woman is tempted to be unfaithful, flirting with a successful doctor. There are some intense moments of a couple arguing.ANY WORTHWHILE MESSAGES? To keep your marriage strong, or to fix it if it's broken, you must be humble, accountable, forgiving, selfless, and kind.

This is a movie that my husband and I come back to over and over and recommend to others. Anyone who is married and going through trials, or knows someone who is, needs to watch this movie, as well as anyone considering marriage now or in the future. It will make you laugh, cry, and cheer, and hopefully convict you to fix what is wrong in your own marriage and to "never leave your partner behind in a fire". And, if you are up for the challenge, find a copy of "The Love Dare" as it is illustrated in the movie, and DO IT!!! It will change your life!Favorite quotes: "We love Him first because He first loved us." "You cannot give someone something (the love) that you do not have." "You cannot just follow your heart. You have to LEAD your heart."

Fireproof; as the name suggests; is the good depiction of preventing family from possible damage and difficult times. Role of elders in our society, the benefit of their experiences, importance of strong family relationship in society are all good example of healthy life style. Values, respect, love, care are all indicator of good life and may change its intensity during the course of our life, hence, need constant attention. When we are busy in sustaining our lives, going out of home; earning money, doing jobs (challenging jobs rather); it some times takes us away from our personal values and relationship and we start feeling dejected. Work life balance and complete understanding of our social and family requirement is something which a person experience with the passage of time. All in all; good family movie!

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.
