FIREPROOF

I'm so excited!! Fireproof just came out on DVD this week and I was one of the first to buy it. I had preordered it through Amazon.com

Several weeks ago, Becka and Tony saw the movie at the theater. They both liked it so much that they ask Jim and I to see it, too.

I thought it was going to be a movie about firefighters, but Becka told me that it wasn't entirely about that and that it was something EVERYONE should see.

Jim and I agreed to go. I am so glad we did. The movie is a love story that every couple should see together. It was totally captivating--evoking a variety of emotions. We laughed and we cried and cried a little more on the way home.

I'm not going to tell you much about it. I'll just say that if you're married, it is a MUST SEE. IT IS LIFE CHANGING. DO NOT MISS IT. It will help your love for each other grow stronger. I promise.

It would be the perfect movie to rent for Valentine's Day.

I have not seen it but have a son who is a firefighter and I tend to stay away from those movies because the little bit I have seen scares me too much. You think we would like this one???

Barb Davis said...

It is just wonderful. I know you would love it and it's not too graphic where the firefighters are concerned. It's more about a couple and how they find love again. My husband doesn't really like mushy movies, but at the end of the movie I looked over at him and he was crying. On the way home he said that EVERYONE should see this movie. I immediately pre-ordered it from Amazon and received it a few days ago. Please, please watch it and encourage ALL of your family members to watch it, too. They will be blessed by it.

My husband and I were touched by this movie too. Several reasons:
1 -My husband is a retired firefighter
2 - we found a faith and spirituality that made our marriage more healthy

Thanks for your visit!

Barb Davis said...

Pamela- Thanks for stopping by. So glad you liked the movie!

Barb Davis said...

Jill- Please let me know how you like the movie.

Michele said...

I had forgotten about this movie until you mentioned it. It was one of the few times that the entire audience in the theatre applauded at the end of it! I definitely enjoyed it and felt that it was valuable.

A good Valentines Day flick, huh? I will surely share all of this with Matty, and this way I shouldn't have to do much convincing. Thanks Barbra!

Barb Davis said...

Michele- Thanks so much for your comments about the movie.

Barb Davis said...

Tileena- I think Matty will like the movie.

Donna M. Kohlstrom said...

Thanks for the "heads up" on this movie. My husband and I will be sure to see it. I was a volunteer on a fire department and so was my son and my favorite movies are love stories. From what I've read, I better buy a couple of boxes of tissues when I watch it!

Angie Ledbetter said...

Thanks for the recommendation. If I could ever get my hub to see something besides mayhem and war movies, maybe this one would be nice. :)

Barb Davis said...

Donna- Perhaps, one for you and one for your husband.

Barb Davis said...

Angie- You may have to drag him there, but he'll thank you later.

Dawn said...

Because of your review I think I will see the movie. It sounds great!. I need a good movie.

Barb Davis said...

Dawn- You will not regret seeing it.

Jen Kershner said...

I'm excited to see it. I've heard so many great things about it.

Sunny said...

I have not heard of this movie...awww, I'm not a part of a "couple." I'm divorced now....and single....besides, *fire* is my biggets fear!

Have a nice Sunday :)

Sunny said...

OOPS! Sorry about the typo up there. I meant to type "biggest" not biggets,lol!

Guess I'd better proof-read better!

Barb Davis said...

Jen- Happy movie going!

Barb Davis said...

Judy- I think any sensitive soul would like the movie-- married, dating, or single...and there's not much fire, either. LOL.

Kathryn Magendie said...

I'll have to check that out!

Barb Davis said...

Kathryn- Hope you're having a great day.

Terri Tiffany said...

Awesome movie--our church did a series on it!

Barb Davis said...

Angie- I heard some churches were doing that.

Anne Thomson said...

I'll look for Fireproof today.I love your playlist! Thanks for your comment... glad you like my ocean painting!

Barb Davis said...

Ann- Thank you.

Barbara, I have not yet seen this movie... but want to. Our church viewed it twice but because of work I was unable to be there either time. Though through the Jan. sermon series, Fireproofing your marriage, our Pastor has played clips. Though I am not married... I still want to see it. I love Kurt Cameron anyway. He did a great job in Left Behind. I love your blog.
