After the success of their second movie “Facing The Giants” Sherwood Baptist, the Georgia church that makes movies would be hard pressed to duplicate its success. But with God’s leading and direction Alex and Stephen Kendrick, the creative minds behind Sherwood’s all volunteer film making unit, have released a third gospel based movie about marriage.
“Fireproof” stars actor and Christian evangelist Kirk Cameron in the lead role. He plays fire fighter, Caleb Holt, whose self- centered and self-righteous attitude is the main component in the disintegration of his marriage. Clueless as to why this is happening he is set on a path toward change through his father’s advice and a book entitled “The Love Dare.”
I won’t tell you much more about this movie except that Cameron is very good in it. His acting makes the character and the story very believable. The other actors are also very good considering they are just everyday members of Sherwood Baptist church. Some of the roles are played by actors who were in “Facing The Giants” as well.
This movie is a wonderful story about different types of relationships including marriage, a spiritual reconciliation with God, friendship, and the ever fragile parent / child relationship.
It makes a great “date night” destination for any couple looking to get a night out without the kids. If you can’t afford to do anything more than “dinner & a movie” this is the feature to see. This movie has laughter, tears, action and emotional surprises. Just a recommendation, make sure you take tissues to collect the tears.
Almost as important as the movie is the story of the church and people who made it. I highly recommend a search of the Internet for the back ground stories of those involved. God's faithfulness in their off screen lives is a wonderful story in and of itself.
Don’t hesitate makes plans for next weekend to go see “Fireproof”
