Clearly, Fireproof believes in its agenda and was made with the Christian audience in mind. There is a not so subtle theme that the Holts-who at the beginning of the film are agnostic-needed religion to save their marriage. Though saddled at times with maudlin lines, Cameron adds emotion and range to his role. Cameron does a fine job of making Caleb real and believable, even when we're not always liking him. The third film by brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, Fireproof is the siblings' most polished feature. Faced with impending divorce, Caleb's dad challenges him to follow the "40-day love dare," in which each task (cook her dinner, say nothing negative, etc.) is meant for him to better understand love and commitment and try and win his wife back. His wife Catherine (Erin Bethea) is tired of the distance and wants him to make more of an effort at home, rather than surf porn on the Internet and hoard his earnings toward his dream fishing boat instead of helping out her disabled mother. He clearly enjoys his status as a hero, but it comes at the expense of his marriage. A still boyish-looking Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) stars as Caleb Holt, a mercurial-tempered firefighter whose marriage is on the rocks. Yes, this film made my collection!
