Fireproof(2008)

Directed by Alex Kendrick

Well there was all this rave about this movie. And It is a reasonably good movie.

It follows Caleb and Catherine, a couple whose marriage is at the brink. Caleb feels like he is doing everything perfect, and he doesn't respect Catherine as much as he should, he feel that since he is a firefighter and that he saves lives that he doesn't have to worry about Catherine and her feelings. He also has a problem with lust. He has been putting aside money for a boat that he really wants, even when Catherine's mother is in need of medical assistance.

Caleb's father gives him a challenge. The "Love Dare" as its called.
For forty days Caleb must go out of his way to make Catherine feel important. But it doesn't work. Catherine seems to have found someone who respects her, and she files for a divorce.
When Catherine hands Caleb the divorce papers, he is dejected. He has been trying very hard to change his ways (he through out the computer because of the lust). As the audience you see that he really has changed. Caleb has been doing the love dare for over 40 days now. He doesn't refuse the divorce papers.
Catherine does not trust him.
It isn't until Catherine finds out who paid for the medical finances for her mother, that things start to change for her.

This movie was good. It was a little preachy in some points. It wasn't that sappy. I enjoyed this movie.
