My husband and I are going to watch this movie soon. I was told by someone who watched it that parts of the movie will hurt me and him. He did not go into details.
Also for those of you who have seen it, would this be a good movie for those who are separated or thinking about divorce. My MIL wants her husband who moved out and are now separated to watch it, but he said that where they are at in their relationship, he will never go see it. He seems to think it won’t help. Is it a movie for those going through separation?

I wish I could remember where I read or heard this, but a couple who had filed for divorce did go to see it. Afterwards they had a heart to heart talk, and decided to try again - they cancelled the divorce on the next business day. And I think they are not the only ones who have had that experience.
We need more movies that show us how to live, instead of how to shoot up gangsters or jump from moving vehicles. The trick is to make it interesting. Some reviewers said this would be a good movie for a couples’ marriage class held in a church, which is a put-down.
This is something that lots of us need. God bless the producers for their efforts, even though they’re not perfect.

Went to see it last weekend and took two friends, none of us are
married at this point but all of us are recommending it to our
children who are.
Anyway, we loved it and we,too, had the experience of having the
whole theatre start clapping when it ended. It was not the largest
seating venue, but it was pretty full.

Just saw the movie last night with 3 Non-Denom friends.
**
TOTALLY
FREAKIN
AWESOME!**
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll applaud at the end (as I did).
The movie was produced by a Baptist Church for only $500,000 but has currently raked in over 16 million dollars in only a few short weeks.
Catholics, take a lesson here …

Not only are the accents the real mccoy, but my brother is in the movie. He is one of the deputies who volunteered to play one of the deputies in one of the fire scenes.
Notonly were the deputies “donated”, but the CIty of Albany donated the use of the fire equipment as well as the fire stations.

^Cool!… my brother is in the movie. He is one of the deputies who volunteered to play one of the deputies in one of the fire scenes … the CIty of Albany donated the use of the fire equipment as well as the fire stations.
Note also, that Fireproof has taken in almost 17 million dollars so far at the theaters (the movie only cost 1/2 million dollars to make).
I’d also like to mention that on the RealCatholictv.com forums, I had posted about how much I liked the movie.
But one of their Mods gave it a “thumbs down” (without even having seen the film) claiming that some of the people involved in the movie have at one time or another been anti-Catholic.
I said “Who cares, I’m not judging their past behavior, just the value/content of this one movie. I had SEEN movie, and it is free of any anti-Catholicism and is great!”
It seems that sometimes, the Mods are just as much a problem as they are a help …

Unfortunately, their anti-Catholic sentiments are not in the past. About every 6 months or so, their senior pastor, Michael Catt, incorporates something into his sermons about the Catholic Church. I work security there off duty and I’ve heard him.

This is rather common among uninformed Baptists. It is enlightening to hear Baptist converts on the Journey Home program on EWTN explain the hurdles they had to over come because of the misconceptions held by many Baptist ministers.
It certainly does not detract from the message of the film. Although the evangelical style of the Baptist is evident in the film.

I agree with you 100%. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I plan to. Our diocesean newspaper, The Southern Cross, dedicated two full pages to the movie and gave it absolutely glowing reviews. They mentioned about how the pastoral office was contacted by Sherwood and given the opportunity to view the movie back in May because they wanted Catholic support.

I have to agree with you Fireman Frank. I think the moderator it not just monitoring the site but using his position to impose his personal beliefs and opinions. Yes, the moderator is also the Critic, Mr. Simon Rafe and is also married to the very lovely, Lizaanne.
I was also interested in his various opinions and wondered what the true opinions of Real Catholic TV were so I did an Advance Google Search on the major players. Makes me wonder what’s going on there.
I was also talking to a complete stranger on a flight yesterday, who is Catholic and goes to a neighboring Chuch and coincidentally had also checked out Real Catholic TV and did a similiar Google search because of the moderators comments. A few of the sites we found are below. Try your own search and there are some cached pages that are real interesting.

It may not effect the content of the movie, but it does effect whether or not I want to support a group that feels the way the they do about my faith.
I was a member of a civic club one time and really enjoyed going to the club for dinner, etc. After my membership lapsed, I found out that the club didn’t allow black members. Now, that didn’t effect me either, but had I known, I would never have joined in the first place. But that’s just me.

I’m not saying it’s not a good movie; everyone who has seen it says it’s wonderful including the pastoral office of my diocese. It’s comments made by the people who made the movie about the Catholic Church on a regular basis that concerns me. That’s all in a nutshell.

I saw this movie last week. maybe it’s just me, but I thought the acting was terrible, much more suited to a bad made-for TV movie, than the big screen.

I guess I really liked the message so much that the acting was
secondary. If I’m not mistaken, most of the actors were just
ordinary folks except for Kirk Cameron.
