Fireproof

Okay, so Debbie said that I have to write a review about Fireproof. I'm not good at writing reviews but I hope this turn out.
Fireproof is about firefighter Caleb Holt and his failing marriage with his wife Catherine. Caleb's father challenged him to commit to a forty-day Love Dare to save his marriage. At first Caleb carried out the challenge half-heartedly. Catherine rejected all his attempts. Frustrated, Caleb asked his dad, "How can I show love to someone over and over and over again when that person keeps rejecting me?" That was the turning point in his life. Caleb's dad told him that Jesus did just that even though we spat into his face. Convicted, Caleb surrendered his life to Christ. However, that is not the end of the story. I won't write more of the synopsis because I strongly urge those who did not come for Friday's screening to get a copy of the DVD.
I watched this movie a few weeks ago at home, but it was completely different from watching it in the church. The atmosphere was different. You could literally hear the gasp when Caleb was in the fire, the 'oooh' when he drank the 'tabasco', the laughter.....
We had a few hiccups during the screening and I felt those spoiled the mood of the viewers. Groans were heard whenever the movie stopped. But nevertheless, we still had a fun time. The pot-blessing was also great. Those of you who missed last night, well, too bad. :)
