Fireproof
Review by Peter T. Chattaway | posted 9/26/2008

3 of 3

What about the high divorce rate among Christians? How do you think this film might have been different if the characters had been Christian all along?
Does the film say anything about gender roles in a marriage? Must it always be the husband who takes the initiative to save a marriage? Why or why not?

The Family Corner

For parents to consider

Fireproof is rated PG for thematic material (a married couple have increasingly loud and angry arguments, a man is said to be looking at online porn although it is never shown, a woman sues for divorce and contemplates adultery, a man comes to Christ) and some peril (firefighters rescue a car that is trapped on a railroad, as well as a child trapped in a burning house).

if you tell me this is no movie, then you need some healing of the heart. This movie is so inspirational, it drew me closer to God's Love like i never felt before. And it shows that God is Love. I rate this a six. It deserves more.

Not rated
As a divorced woman who was married to a "Caleb" I can assure you that the "blowup" was IDENTICAL to my home life. A hero to everyone...a devil at home...over NOTHING. I remember a confrontation similar to this one for bringing home the wrong kind of olive oil.
