Description
Lt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it’s his natural instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it’s another story. After a decade of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb’s dad asks his son to try an experiment: The Love Dare. While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents’ newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God’s love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that’s no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke?Amazon.com
A feel-good drama, Fireproof has a strong agenda: stay married, lead an honest life, and let your faith in a higher power help guide you. A still boyish-looking Kirk C… More >>
We’ve had the GOD, (Money), CHASERS, the PROMISE, (not to ever criticize), KEEPERS, Nicky Mumble’s the ALPHA (without the Omega) COURSES, Pastor Ricky of the ‘Flock that likes to Rock’s the PURPOSE DRIVELLED DEATH PROGRAM, and the EMERGING, (back from out of the Roman Catholic Inquisitional Dark Ages of murder and mayhem) CHURCH, Now we have, if your marriage is in trouble, turn to a badly written and acted movie for the obvious answer, duh!. Men of ‘the church’ are being taught to bow down to the flesh of the women of ‘the church’ with this approach. Make her coffee, send her flowers. ring her for no reason, make her feel ‘special’, have some chocolates delivered with a Hall Mark card, in fact pander and pander to the flesh rather than preach the Word that commands, (not recommends if everybody has had a good day and the sun is shinning just so, as everybody is eating an ice-cream), that a woman, if she loves the Lord Jesus Christ, submits to her husband as her husband submits to the Lord Jesus Christ to love his wife as he loves his own life. The woman should not be having her ‘self esteem’ raised by the husband pandering to her fleshly wants and the wife should not be putting up with being patronised by her husband trying to act as if he has just been catching up with all of Ophrah’s ‘self adoration’ philosophies on the tube. Christians need to be taught to go to the Word of God, to get before the LORD in humble prayer, to seek His will on a marriage partner, and on how to maintain a Godly marriage, to turn to the LORD in all matters. But what are we being taught to do? Follow the world! It works for Hollywood so it must work in ‘Christendom’. It works for Dr. Phil, so obviously it will work for Fireman Kurt. Yet God tells us again and again to separate from the ways of the world, not seek out the Christian equivalent and peddle that to the worldly church-going masses. (Do you know that this program also promotes remarriage whilst the previous partners are still living? It wasn’t in their book, but it’s here now! What next? How to Fire Proof you Sodomite marriage?) Christians do not do these imitation HollyWoodStock things well. It always ends up coming across as ‘amateurish’ making both unbelievers and believers alike cringe deep inside. From all appearances, Kurt is my brother in Christ, and i am thankful to the Lord for that, but Kurt is not a good actor, (praise the Lord), and he’s the best thing in the movie, (what does that tell you about the movie?) What can i tell you? America has suddenly become Obama-nation, the Sodomites are storming the gates, the Moslems are preparing for the ultimate check-mate, Israel is being turned on by the nations of the world, including her so-called ‘friends’ the great apostasy, headed by the Papacy, Rick Warren, Rob Bell, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Hagin and Copeland, Joyce Myers, Jessie Duplantis and Joel Osteen et al’ is gathering momentum and the ecumenical movement is well and truly into the Interfaith movement which, through all of the New Age Bible Per-Versions floating around out there, is preparing the world for the take over of The Antichrist and we are all putting our hopes on the latest ‘Christian’ movie, (what you mean ‘The Shack’ didn’t save us???) It is time we all grew up in the Lord Jesus Christ and turned to the only solution He ordained: The Holy Bible, (KJV). It is time to redeem the time and repent of all this sinful foolishness, time to stop being ashamed of the power of God unto salvation: the Gospel of Christ, time to stop following the world and start following Christ Jesus. This movie, like all imitations of worldly expression, will do no good at all, it will only appeal to the flesh because it is of the flesh. If you went up to John the Baptist on a Tuesday and asked him to proclaim the will of the Lord, he would have answered you: “REPENT!” If you went up to him the following Saturday and asked him for any news from the LORD, he would have said: “What? I already told you on Tuesday. REPENT!” This proclamation is still the same today because the state of Man is still the same and more importantly, the LORD Himself is the same yesterday, today and forever. It doesn’t matter what the problem is, the answer has always been and always shall be the same: The Lord Jesus Christ. Give this turkey a miss and get on your knees and ask for help from the only one who can help. Written with love in Christ Jesus. Anthony Donaghey.
I guess it’s my own fault for not really looking into this movie before I saw it. I thought this was going to be a little heart warming indie. Much to my surprise, it was nothing but a proselytizing tool. A bad one at that. Come to Christ, and everything is gonna be alright. Turn your back on him, and you’ll become addicted to pornography. Tell that to all the Christians in their second and third marriages. Let’s forget for a moment that this just a bad attempt at converting people. Let’s talk about the non bash you over the head with a sappy message moments.
Cameron’s performance isn’t horrible. He actually has a few moments in the film where you might buy him as a human being. That can’t be said for the rest of the cast. Listening to some of the lines delivered, was almost unbearable. This would be hard pressed to make it as a Lifetime movie of the week. I can only assume that most of these actors were pulled out of the local community. So it isn’t there fault. It’s the producers. At no point during the film did I connect with, or care about any one in the film. If only I was addicted to porn.
The comedy beats, or the attempted comedy beats, all fall flat. The two action sequences are about the only thing that made me laugh. No sense of peril at all. I realize they probably were working on a ridiculously low shoe string budget, but that’s no excuse You don’t large scale effects, or set pieces to create nail biting suspense. You do however need good writing. Good direction, Good editing, and good acting. This one missed on all counts.
What I don’t get about this movie is what they are attempting to do with it. I know they are trying to witness to people through the screen, but the only people it’s going to connect with, are the people that have already sipped the Cool Aid. So, really. What’s the point. If you’re a non Christian, this movie is laughable in the points it tries to convey. If you’re a Christian, you would be much better off seeing one of your congregations stage plays, about the dangers of pornography, abortion, atheism, secularism, humanism, evolution, other religions, rock music, or the gays.
I never received this. I was given a refund. So, I purchase it from another website.
I was thinking this was going to be a good movie, It seemed so christian. It was so so so bad. I did not even fisish it! The whole 15 min. I watched it was just so SO Cheesy! GAG ME
