Go See This Movie

I noticed banners for the movie “Fireproof” on a few blogs last week.

I mentioned the movie to my husband on Friday.

On Saturday I saw in the newspaper that “Fireproof” was at our local theater. We decided we should go see it sometime.

At church on Sunday, the pastor mentioned that he had just seen “Fireproof” and that he wanted to recommend it to everyone, and especially to married couples. He said we could buy discounted theater tickets after the service.

We’re not dense. We can take a few hints. 🙂  We bought tickets, and went to see the movie on Monday.

Definitely worth it! The movie has a great message, and it has humor in it despite some heart-wrenching moments. I read an interview with the star of the movie, Kirk Cameron (one of the kids on TV’s “Growing Pains” from back in the last century). What I found most interesting is that when his character was supposed to kiss an actress in the movie, he substituted his own wife. She’s also an actress, and she put on the lead actress’ dress and did the scene with her husband. How cool is that?

Do you and your honey a favor. Go see “Fireproof.” And bring Kleenex.

  1. I REALLLLLY want to see this movie. Don’t know if it will come here, but we will be buying the DVD!!!!

  2. I was fortunate enough to see this several months ago for free! We were a preview audience – anyone in lay or ordained ministry was offered a chance to see it and review it. It was nice to see it as a Christian community – the emotion was palpable – we cried together, laughed together and cheered together. This movie has great value & important for all to see.

  3. Pam and Amy, so glad you were able to see it and that you enjoyed it, too.

    Janet and Melissa, I hope you’ll get to see it, whether at the theater or on your television. And yes, Melissa, I think it’s wonderful that somebody in Hollywood is showing good morals.

  4. I saw this got a glowing review in my local Catholic newspaper but unfortunately the closest theater where it’s playing is almost an hour away 🙁

    I know it’s hard to believe, but there *ARE* in fact a number of people who actually hold traditional values living in the San Francisco Bay Area. We may be outnumbered by the heathens 😉 but I really think there would be enough of us to make a run of “Fireproof” successful…
