People like Kirk Cameron apparently require Scriptural instruction about how to not act like a complete **** to your wife.

This is a decent attempt to combine faith and storytelling that will certainly register with its target audience.

Fireproof stops becoming relatable to us all and only to the already, or easily, indoctrinated.

As a companion piece to a Bible study group this may have some merit, but it doesn't belong in a theater.

It's one of the funniest films I've seen all year and that was obviously not the intention. This was made for elderly folk who watch Oprah and Dr. Phil and only see 2 movies a year. Embarrassing.

While hardly sophisticated in its approach and certainly not polished in its technical elements, the film does get its heartfelt message across with undeniable sincerity.
