I am searching for Christianity that is intelligent and thought-provoking and this film fell way short of those qualities. Maybe someday the "message" will be presented in the arts so that us with college educations can be inspired.

Goodness, this world has really changed. The movie is about sanctity of marriage. Something we have seemed to lose in this democratic society we are living in. Anyway this is a good movie, go buy it.

So I have to admit, the film suffers from a few poor acting performances, which hurt the sincerity of some scenes but the film's powerful messages and understandable script make it a worthwhile ride.

Sherwood picture are probably one of the most beautiful success stories. They do with a 1000000$ budget what other companies struggles to do with 1000000000$. This is a must see to every husband who can't stand his wife(or vise versa.)

Predictable hogwash. It started out well enough but it disintegrated into a preachy and unconvincing melodrama. The acting isn't bad, but it's not good either. Not very impressive, even laughably silly at times.

Films like "Fireproof", which sound more like tracts than stories, simply won't cut the mustard with anyone except evangelicals who are used to those kinds of films. Expand

This film makes "In the Name of the King" look Oscar worthy. The only reason that it has any positive reviews at all is because it is religious, which, in my opinion, makes it worse.

Kirk Cameron is a modern day Dante, unashamed to use the most blatant metaphor possible to remind sinners what torment awaits them if they continue the awfulness of their ways. Casting his wife as an updated Beatrice is yet another masterstroke. A film destined to rank with the works of Thomas Aquinas, Mohammed, and St. Paul as paragons of clear and concise religious thought. Expand

This movie could be life changing to millions of couples. Since this movie donates all its proceeds to charity, that alone should motivate us all to see it. Expand

The script was well written and the emotional intensity was often relieved with some great and appropriate humor. The actors and actors gave outstanding performances all around and I'm still chuckling about the [spoiler warning] tomato juice. Expand

This is just another so-called "ChristianThis film tells how Caleb (Kirk Cameron), a firefighter chief, tried to save his marriage with Catherine (Erin Bethea) through a forty-day challenge proposed by his father, an evangelical Christian. This is just another so-called "Christian film" made by US evangelical Christians to propagandize their ideas. They are very low-budget movies loaded with nasty and incisive religious propaganda, and this film doesn't differ from them, showing how a man without faith can be a terrible husband and how he changes when he embraces Jesus, his only way to save his marriage (and his soul, an implicit and subliminal allusion). The movie says that being a Christian transforms you, that you're good if you're Christian, that you're bad if you're not a Christian, that religion brings moral values ​​that you will not have otherwise. Unfortunately, I know many despicable people who spend their lives in churches or temples (regardless of religion) in a near heretical hypocrisy, so I've lost my innocence about it. Religion preaches moral values ​​but being religious doesn't necessarily mean practicing those values. In fact, they're more easily apprehended in the heart of the family than on a religious temple. So the message of this film, partial and propagandistic, is at the very least too optimistic and unrealistic to be credible. It's an insult to the intelligence of any thinking man who is not fanatically religious. Either way, the suggestions about marriage and how it should be are interesting and valid for anyone, even for an atheist, a civil union or a gay marriage. But it's a film made by religious and these heresy could never be said. The actors performance is painless, the mushy drama around their marriage is boring, predictable and worthy of a soap opera... I need to say more? Expand
