Trivia

Knowing that this Christian morality tale would be put under a Hollywood microscope, the producers put Kirk Cameron through a strong vetting process, to ensure that no "skeleton in the closet" issues would be discovered. "If you're cheating on your wife or have a problem with drugs or alcohol, they would rather not have you out there on 'The Today Show' promoting the movie," explained Cameron. See more »

Goofs

Walking toward the cross for the father and son talk, the actors pass behind a huge tree about 20 feet from the camera, then emerge perhaps 100 feet away from the camera, throwing the perspective way off. See more »

Catherine Holt: I had the last bagel and a yoghurt.
Caleb Holt: Do you plan on making a grocery trip soon?
Catherine Holt: Caleb, you work 24 hours and then you're off for 48. You've got more time to go than I do.
Caleb Holt: Hey, I just asked you a simple question. You don't need to get smart with me. You could at least have saved me some breakfast.

Life imitates life with a twist
27 September 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Making a movie that tackles real life marriage problems head on is challenging, and not always easy to watch. Horror, violence, spoofs, fantasy, love stories, biographies offer easy escapes. Fireproof exposes the isolation that can occur between 2 people who started out loving each other, but over time disconnect, become self-absorbed and fall into a pattern of hurting each other. The relational pain finds some comic relief, and there is a job-related diversion. But help comes in the form of a 40 day dare to love. While you may not agree with the faith-based approach, there is no doubt that unconditional love is transforming. I was deeply moved... enough to take the dare myself.
