Cliched and overwrought. Cutesy and sentimental. All telling and no showing. These filmmakers are earnest and have their hearts in the right place, but that does not make a good film.

When Kirk Cameron is the film's acting "heavyweight", you should pretty much know what to expect. I've seen high school pantomimes with more believable and emotionally charged acting. Basically a Christian sermon trying to be a movie about firefighters and marital infidelity and some such. I'm sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere, but I really couldn't care. At least the film consciously tries (albeit failingly) not to be too preachy. Honestly, it could've been worse... but not much.

This movie is shot like a cinemaxx porno, which is both ironic and terrible. A lot of hilarious scenes, I especially loved when he struggles with his porn addiction, the montage with the embarrassing christian rock song were great and all the terrible fire analogies were pure gold. Kirk plays possibly the stupidest character ever on film, which mirrors his real life incredibly well (watch his youtube vids for some laughs). You never leave your partner! Especially in a fire! LOL CHRISTIANS

Don't get me wrong; Fireproof IS watchable and kinda enjoyable if you're able to look past its many flaws. The storyline is fresh--a man learns to accept Christ in his life to rekindle his relationship with his wife. However, when Cameron has his epiphany, you never see him grab a bible or struggle to find his way to a church. Thus his revelation (and proclamation) is unbelievable. The direction and (with exception to Cameron), the acting is REALLY bad. Great concept; bad execution.

To be honest I really didn't know anything about this movie except it was popular with my friends & it's about finding religion (something I'm not into) It's still a suprisingly good film

Propaganda film but still good one.

Can't imagine any sane person liking this movie. It does bring some unintentional hilarity to the table, and the second rescue scene is kinda cool in a Metal Gear Solidy way, but other than that, the movie's riddled with terrible acting, terrible pacing, and some of the most disgusting content I've seen on film. And it's so friggin' long, too! Ew.

If you're looking for a two-hour infomercial for Christianity, then this is the film for you. Otherwise, watch something else.

The acting wasn't too hot, but the story and the morals behind it was really awesome. I definitely recommend this to any Christian couple.

Basically the movie says that the marriage is always the man's fault if it's bad, and all a woman has to do is accept you (kinda like the missionary position). Bad acting and corny lines, as well as no music until the end. Anyone who actually thinks it is a desirable goal to reach never ending unrequited love is in a sorry state indeed. Basically it's the best way to let your spouse know you're completely desperate and ready to let them make you miserable for the rest of your life.

Fireproof is a story based on the phrase "never leave your partner behind". Caleb uses this strategy in his everyday firemen routine. However Caleb tends to focus more on not leaving his partner behind on the fire scene more so than he does his partner at home. This film truely shows the strain of devotion to another person that you love when going through the flames of life. This movie will cause you not only to examine the characters' lifes but your own life and relationships as well.

it could be better.

A tad sugary, but well worth watching. This IS a story with a message, particularly for anyone whose marriage is going through a rough patch; however, the story flows and the characters are reasonally believable. I am a Christian so this has added appeal to me for that reason.

This movie was inspiring. I have only seen one other movie in my entire life that has affected me like this one did. Never was marriage shown on the big screen in a better way. Never leave you partner behind.

Could have been an ok movie if we had a bit less of those religious messages. Kinda reminds me a book I read earlier, "The Shack". But of course "The Shack" delivers its message in a more convincing way.

Fireproof has some skilled acting and Kirk Cameron gives a good performance, but sadly, the film would only entertain people who like the source of the material.

A solid Christian film, which is recommendable to newly weds or those who feel their marriage may be suffering. Though its message is about learning to love through accepting faith into your life, it doesn't tell its viewers that its necessary to go to Church or portray those who don't believe as entirely evil. (If only more diehard Christians were like this.) The quality of filmmaking is more like a made-for-TV movie and the acting is suspect; but Kirk Cameron's performance is admirable.
