Fireproof Comes in 4th
I went to see "Fireproof" with some friends this weekend. I know, I know. I'm not married, which is what the movie is all about, and I'm not a fireman. So why did I go see it? Well... two reasons: 1. I had a huge crush on Kirk Cameron when he was on "Growing Pains." 2. I really think that Hollywood needs to understand that America is thirsting for God-centered movies. I hope the big guys got the picture — "Fireproof" came in 4th at the Box Office this weekend, bringing in a little more than $6 million.
I went to a theater here in Louisville with two other single girls. The theater was packed. The audience was engaged throughout the whole story. I watched the reactions of people as certain things would happen in the movie. What I saw was awesome. I saw couples crying together; I saw couples holding hands; I even heard a couple men say "Amen" and "That's Right".
With "The Passion," "Facing the Giants," and now "Fireproof," I hope there will be a steady stream of movies to come that aren't afraid to talk about God in a positive way and that will relate with the mainstream audience.
The acting at times was cheesy, but I loved it!
