Fireproof



Fireproof is a bad movie. But, it has such good intentions that I can't say anything bad about it without feeling like a nasty step-father who couldn't find anything good to say about his 7th grader's school play.

At the least, I'll cut and paste a relevant quote:

"Where films are concerned, if you set out to convey some special message or thesis you will become narrow and rigid..." -Akira Kurosawa

...something similar is going on with Fireproof.

Happy Valentines Day!

Good job Josh, it's too well-meaning to criticize. Remember that the next time you criticize sweet, innocent and dear friends of Virginia.

Whew, I thought we were alone in this world. What a relief. Our friends here seriously would have preached a salvation message to us if we told them what we REALLY thought of the movie.
