Josh Rosenblatt Austin Chronicle The writing and directing Kendrick brothers, Alex and Stephen, have raised blandness and narrative predictability to the level of high art. Rated: 1/5 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Ed Gonzalez L.A. Weekly Fireproof stops becoming relatable to us all and only to the already, or easily, indoctrinated. Oct 3, 2008 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Unfortunately, the emphasis on what God wants has a way of overwhelming who Caleb and Catherine are as characters. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 2, 2008 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Erin Bethea, on the other hand, doesn't have quite the range to pull off Catherine. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Jim Judy Screen It! Parental Content Review Jan 30, 2009 Full Review Josh Larsen LarsenOnFilm As a companion piece to a Bible study group this may have some merit, but it doesn't belong in a theater. Rated: 2/4 Nov 12, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

James S A strong message on how much work goes into a relationship. Never giving up no matter how hard is something we need to get back to. Great movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Sue M Absolutely loved this movie. Feel good God based and beautifully done. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Aurela S Great movie in my opinion. Shows how focusing on work can destroy a relationship. But putting God first can strength that bond. This movie has helped my marriage. Love it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Ilson Simão S Bom, trata sobre amor e religião, emocionante e traz reflexões Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Fabio S A beautiful movie. It helps to understand love and how to be happy in a marriage. It goes beyond religion. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/23 Full Review Zechariah C For the type of movie that it is supposed to be (lower budget and for a niche audience), it was put together well. That is why it gets four stars. It was an exceptional, unforgettable, brilliant movie! I know people will call it "cheesy" just like other faith-based films, but production put work into it. Great dialogue, action (fire and accident scenes), and even twists! A job well done for something that many people won't try or will just choose to say the same things about. I'm happy that I watched it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
