Fire­proof: Never leave your part­ner behind

As a sin­gle man, this may seem like a silly idea to write a review on a movie about mar­riage.  I agree.  Silly me.  I had the oppor­tu­nity to watch Fire­proof today, and found it deliv­ered so much more than I ever antic­i­pated, and I haven’t even fallen in love the first time.

Kirk Cameron plays the role of Cap­tain Caleb Holt, the hus­band and fire­fighter who keeps demand­ing more love and respect, but hasn’t yet real­ized that he can’t give what he does not have.  Erin Bethea solidly wraps up the part of Cather­ine Holt, the wife who wanted so much to marry a brave man, but feels she has been left out to dry.

Caleb’s father chal­lenges him to a “Love Dare”, a 40-day exper­i­ment to see if Caleb can revive their mar­riage.  To tell more would ruin the movie.  But I’ll say this, there is no way to be dis­ap­pointed with this well thought-out and thought-provoking movie.

Then, right when you think it’s all done, and the cur­tains is going to close, it just keeps on tur­ing up sur­prises that strengthen the rela­tion­ships and put the world back together one more time.  Read more at FireproofTheMovie.com.
