Mixed Reception

Fireproof has received generally negative reviews from film critics.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it rating of 37%, based on 19 reviews.

Metacritic gave it a metascore of 28%, based on 6 reviews.

Ed Gonzalez of LA Weekly said, “Fireproof stops becoming relatable to us all and only to the already, or easily, indoctrinated.”

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter said, “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. Its success at the boxoffice, which will no doubt continue on home video, demonstrates that there’s no shortage of filmgoers dissatisfied with cynical Hollywood product.”

Joe Leydon of Variety gave the film a positive review saying “Cameron is genuinely compelling as Caleb, a work-obsessed firefighter on the verge of divorce from his neglected wife.”

The movie has received extremely positive reviews from Christian groups.

Greg Wright of ChristianCinema.com said, “…the best surprise of Fireproof is Cameron’s performance as Caleb. It’s far and away the best I’ve seen from a male lead this year…”

A review by The Dove Foundation stated, “It is a wonderful movie with dashes of humor and plenty of drama including exciting rescue scenes.”

Michael Foust of the Baptist Press said: “I walked into the theater without any expectations, but walked out after the closing credits believing I had just seen perhaps the most convicting and inspiring film I had ever viewed. Fireproof isn’t just a great Christian movie. It’s a great movie. Period.”
