- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile hardly sophisticated in its approach and certainly not polished in its technical elements, the film does get its heartfelt message across with undeniable sincerity.
- 50VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonCameron is genuinely compelling as Caleb.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment WeeklyThe filmmakers hedge their bets by making the young marrieds agnostic at the start of the movie, in order to turn Fireproof into a manual for eternal as well as marital salvation.
- 50L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklyThen the film gets all religulous, suggesting that Caleb's devotion to healing means nothing without Jesus, and so Fireproof stops becoming relatable to us all and only to the already, or easily, indoctrinated.
- Makes for fruitful soul-fishing but lousy drama.
- 0The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasCameron acts like a childish jerk, even in the reconciliation phase, and the underlying reason is that he--and the movie--hates women.
