I attended Fireproof, the little movie produced by a church with big heart who is also famous from Facing the Giants and Flywheel. Having not seen either of the two previous films, I had no idea what I was in for. It was Goooood! No...GREAT!!!
I had never been to see a film more than once in a theater and I would totally go again.
It was poignant, interesting, dramatic, funny, and serious. The story was well-written and did I mention funny? We were laughing throughout the film! Yes, Christians laughing. I know we broke the stereotype sitting over at Eastside 9.
Some of my favorite parts were....
"You're my brother from another mother."
The bathroom boogie (you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it)
Wrath of God in a bottle
"Is it too late to ask you to grow old with me?" (Followed by a 70+ yo gentleman laughing in the audience while looking at his wife)
2 Third Day songs
A great song about Waiting on God and serving Him in the meantime
"Mr. Randolph." "Caleb"
Smashing of the garbage can
Supergluing the salt and pepper shakers
"Loving a wife is like a rose. You can tend to it and it blooms or leave it alone and it will wilt." "Where'd you learn that from?" "A counselor"
"mmmmhmmmm" (by nurses in hospital)
The hose stretcher
Themes of value included...
Marriage...a covenant not a contract
Love...not a feeling but action
Fighting for a wife despite outside attacks
Forgiveness...displayed multiple times
Saving a life regardless of who it is
Sacrifice
Getting rid of the idols (pornography, $, possessions)
Please go see this film and if you need a seat filler, invite me along. :)

AWESOME movie! I'd go see it again in a heartbeat! God's perfect plan and the way he can use broken people to bring Him glory was clearly evident through the entire film. To God be the glory!
