Wow.
I had seen Facing The Giants about a year ago, and I was sure that Fireproof would be similarly slightly cheesy and occasionally poorly acted, since both movies were produced by the same Albany, Georgia, Baptist church. I was very wrong. It seems that they took the considerable profits from Giants and invested them into making a substantially better product this time. And Kirk Cameron excels as the fireman whose home is figuratively burning down.
Fireproof is not just tear-jerking drama, action, and suspense, along with some laugh-out-loud funny moments. It is also a valuable lesson on what makes a marriage work, without being too preachy. I highly recommend it for everyone who is married or who wants to be one day.
Don't forget to bring the Kleenex.
