	Media	Author	Review
		The Hollywood Reporter	"While hardly sophisticated in its approach and certainly not polished in its technical elements, the film does get its heartfelt message across with undeniable sincerity."
		Scott Tobias AV Club	"In the history of marital discord in the movies, has there ever been a blander conflict than the one between firefighter Kirk Cameron and his goodly wife Erin Bethea"
		Chris Willman Entertainment Weekly	"There’s something slightly refreshing about the banality of the marital conflicts in 'Fireproof', a low-budget evangelical movie jam-packed with heartfelt tips for men about how to save your marriage"
		Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"'Fireproof' may not be the most profound movie ever made, but it does have its commendable elements (...) [The cast] is surprisingly good. And the moments of comic relief are mildly amusing."
		Charles Cassady Jr. Common Sense Media	"The acting is fairly weak, and the production values are rough around the edges (...) [It] earns realism points for frankly acknowledging that marriage can be difficult and even bleak at times (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
