We loved this movie. We weren't expecting much, but my husband and I were both so lifted up after seeing this. It was funny, and well done and realistic.
I am going to see it again.

My husband and I saw the movie on Saturday night. About 20 minutes into the film, there was a couple who walked out. Guess they didn't want to hear the message.
Considering that this film was done on a tight budget and that most of the actors were not professionals, it was very well done. I must say that the movie should have ended when Caleb's wife met him at the fire station. They could have faded that scene into the wedding ceremony and ended the movie there. The whole scene with Caleb and his mother at the end was a bit forced and unecessary in my opinion since it didn't further the main storyline.
One thing that did bother me about the movie though was the fact that after Caleb had come to the realization that he needed a relationship with God before he could work on his marriage, never once did I see his character open a Bible. He was always seen reading the Love Dare book, but not opening his Bible to read it.
Otherwise than that, I thought that the movie was well done. Although, I must say that every time I looked at Caleb's wife in the movie, she reminded me of an actress on one of my Spanish language soap operas. Everytime she opened her mouth, I was just waiting for her to break out with some phrase in Spanish.When we got home, I showed my husband a picture of the Mexican actress and my husband had to agree that the resemblence was shocking.
Jesus Freak
I just want to know why everyone had a Southern accent except for Kirk. There are voice coaches that can teach accents.
I did see one goof - the scene with the sign at the home health care place was shown twice. The reason I know? The same black Jeep Liberty was in each scene. (I drive a Jeep Liberty, so I notice them everywhere I go.)
I thought the movie was great, though.

I haven't seen it yet, but I plan to.
I saw the movie. It was an okay movie. I liked his character's solution when he was trapped in the burning house. Showed some quick thinking.
One part was endorsing something sinful though. It goes on too much these days.
Imperfect but forgiven
I finally got to see it with my wife. I'd heard some negative comments on the acting. I thought the acting was good. There was something a little different about this production that I can't quite put my finger on that made it feel different than other movies... and I'm not talking about the theme/plot... could have been lighting or filming or background noise or lack of background noise, or background activity/lack of background activity.
The movie delved right into the immediate problem of the marriage and at first it felt like I was watching a movie made for counseling v.s. the big screen, but as it developed it got better. If there was a weakness in the movie, it probably would be the directing.
I thought it was an excellent movie. I'll bet it helps a lot of marriages that are troubled with self-centered behavior/pride. I'll definitely buy it when it comes out on DVD.
Loved the "across the street" neighbors and the group of firemen with their individual personalities.

Wise men still seek Him
The movie was awesom. The acting was horriblebut the triumph in the movie made me cry twice. And I'm not a crying kind of guy.
P.S. when I say cry I mean tears not sobbing involved.

Yes- it can't hurt.. I tried and took my hubby who i am on the brink of seperating from after many years of alot of what that couple seemed ot have built up too in their marriage.. minus the kids' as the hubby and wife do not have children in the movie.. We both still were very moved by the movie..
No, I am referring to one of the main characters being divorced and remarried. Jesus said very plainly that if you divorce and remarry that you are committing adultery. So, the movie has one of the main characters living in unrepentant adultery and holding him up as a mentor/role model for Caleb.
Imperfect but forgiven
I saw the movie, but don't remember the details. Did this character get a consensual divorce with a non-believer while he/she was a believer or was the divorce action taken because of adultery by the other spouse? And lastly, did the person divorce when they were unbelievers, then later the person became a believer?
Other than the above, from my understanding of the word, remarriage would in fact be living in adultery, but I wonder if any of the above might have been shown to apply in the movie. I'm getting a vague recollection of a male actor telling the lead guy that his current wife was his second, but I don't remember if details were shared as to the cause/reason for the divorce.

The actor just got a divorce, came to Christ, went back to try and get back with his biblical wife, but she remarried (thus living in adultery already herself), and so he got remarried and decided to also live in adultery.
Details do not matter. Adultery is adultery.
Respectifully, I feel that I need to write something. Some people want to trash or condemmn fellow Christians for their loss of a marriage and their remarriage using scriptures such as Matthew 19. God dealt with me since I'm one of the losers in a previous marriage. God helped me get closer to him over this and years later found me a new partner in life. We jointly worship the Lord and ask to walk in the Spirit. As I see it, When Jesus gave his messages concerning sin and salvation under the law that people were lost if they committed sin under their own works. He told the disiples that it was easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than a man can be rightness on their own. but He said everything is possible with God.. After His death on the Cross and grace given out to all that believe on him, our salvation is now from the Lords grace and not our works. Jesus said that he would not cast out those who come to him. I'm one of those who come to him and standing on the promises of eternal life because of what Jesus did and not my sins. Jesus know how to fix broken lives. Please be careful not to judge someone to hell for a sin that he can receive forgivness and grace from Jesus our Lord.
Well, I would hope you're correct, but what if you're not?

oh dude....it is truly terrible being unequally yoked in a marriage.it is its own little hell in itself,the only reason i know is because i was once in a situation like yours with my ex.praise and thanks be to God for my current (and hopefully final) wife.
In God I Trust
My ex liked to chase after his ex-gf who didn't want to be with him while we were legally married. Soon after we got married, he came up to me and asked me how I'd feel if he left me and went back to her. He tried to play it off then and from there on he tried sneaking around to see her and just tried keeping it from me. The only reason nothing physical happened is because she didn't want to be with him. I even overheard him on the phone after I had left him lying to her saying he had not allowed me to come back home even though he was also coming after me, blaming me for everything and saying he wanted to stay married to me. He was talking out of both sides of his mouth. He was telling her this stuff, lies about me, and trying to get her to be with him. He even tried blocking me from getting divorced, lying to the court saying we'd been living together when we hadn't (you had to be physically living apart for a year to get a divorce there) and holding up the divorce, while he's chasing another woman at the same time and telling me that marriage has nothing to do with love. I guess it was his way of confessing that he didn't love me or something. He just wanted me to be his property/prisoner from day one. And now I'm biblically in bondage to him until one of us dies. I will never lie and say I love him. I was always scared of him and I only married him because he had sex on me and I was no longer a virgin and thought I had to marry him. I kept telling him no, that it was a sin to have sex outside of marriage and he kept after me anyway and the only way I figured I could fix it was to marry him since the adults around me wouldn't protect me. I married him so the sinning would stop.
I had just turned 16 when I met him, was a virgin, and I wanted to wait until I was married to have sex. That was taken from me. I was so scared of him. He even told me that I was his and that he would never let me leave him, long before we ever got married. No one would make him leave me alone and I was just an inexperienced kid with no one to turn to for help. Now my life is ruined because of him. I've had men interested in me, but I had to not get involved really or be an adulteress if I remarry. My daughter has had to grow up with no dad and I have had to live in solitude and raise a kid by myself, all because of my biblical husband. I feel really angry about the whole thing. And to this day he lies and says he did nothing to me, never laid a hand on me, and denies going after his ex-gf. He's now remarried to a woman who's over 20 years younger than he is and was 15/16 yrs old when they married.
I sometimes hope he'll die first so I can at least go out on a date. I'm 32 years old and haven't been able to even go out on a real date. I hadn't even dated or had a boyfriend before I met my biblical husband. He just laid claim to me and that was it. It gets really lonely and I doubt he's ever been lonely in his life. He'll go to bed with just about anyone. He even bragged to me about how he'd gone into the women's bathroom and got women to have sex with him and thought he was really something. He still does, of course.
He called me up on what would be our wedding anniversary few months ago and started talking like he wanted to get physical with me again. He's probably running around on his new wife too. Although, now he claims to be a Christian, but he says the Bible is just an interpretation and talks and acts exactly the way he always has acted. He had the gall to blame me and tell me I threw away a good marriage and brag about all the material possessions he has accumulated over the years. I don't even care about that stuff. He ridiculed me like I'm crazy when I told him that.

Mezusas, you would be well advised to speak privately with a trusted pastor to find out if, in fact, you are Biblically divorced. I can't say, of course, but a genuine man of God should be able to give you solid counsel on the matter.

FIREPROOF out on Video/ITunes
I've been waiting for this movie to come out on video and it finally has. I opted to get mine downloaded via ITunes...it's a little cheaper that way.
FYI for all who'd like their own copy or for those who missed it in the theatres...
