I, like Devin, was very pleasantly surprised. I went to the see the movie because it seemed like a good thing for a grassroots Christian conservative to do. I confess that I expected a little cheesiness. But, it totally drew me in. I found myself cheering for Caleb Holt as he became a worthy man and set about winning his wife’s heart. I found myself feeling for her in her confusion and pain. I even got weepy–a very good sign.
I really encourage you to see “Fireproof.” It is an gift to those who are married (Devin and I grinned at each other at different times throughout the movie as the statements about the needs of men and women in marriage reminded us of our first two years of marriage) and a good preparation for those who are not yet married. Good job, Sherwood Films! I’m really impressed.
