The far-fetched reason is that it can't support the movie

Why does the heroine think that the money for medical equipment is paid by the handsome doctor instead of her husband? She didn't even ask.
If the heroine asked more questions, she would not be courteous to the doctor.
Even if the two get divorced, how could the heroine even ignore the man who escaped death?
If the female protagonist really loves the male protagonist, she will not react this way.
Everything about this movie is too far-fetched.
Including a few explosive scenes, the male protagonist is a TV drama actor. He hasn't acted in serious movies for many years, so he can't act anymore, and he acts too much.
As for the heroine, the heroine is not an actress at all, but she was a makeup artist, who was on the stage temporarily, which is understandable.
The whole movie is just an advertisement for the book "Forty Days to Save Love".
Of course, the movie tells a story anyway, but the story has too many mistakes and omissions. It's much better than those that can't tell any stories, and it's okay in similar films.
The most outstanding part of the whole movie is the scene of the fire scene. Although the budget is limited, the filming is tense and even slightly realistic. It would have been better if the focus was on the daily life of a firefighter, and I see a talent for that on the set. But looking at the English title, the theme is family, so this is the result of not mixing and matching the two elements.
In the end, the kiss under the sunset was done by the male protagonist Kirk Cameron strongly requesting his wife as a stand-in, which is an interesting point.

    40 days, a wonderful period of time: 40 days of heavy rain during Noah's flood, 40 days of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments on the mountain, 40 days of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness, and 40 days of appearing to the disciples after he died and rose again. . . This young handsome who grew up in "Growing Pains" has experienced another life that has been subverted in 40 days.

    I just watched the first 10 minutes, so let me mark it first. The acting skills of the two leading actors are really bad, and they are too hard. I hope the plot will not let me down. After seeing half of it, I plan to abandon the pit. I thought it was a professional movie at first, but then I thought it was a family movie, but it turned out to be a religious movie? Alright alright, once again this movie makes me think Western religions are very similar to cults...

Fireproof quotes

  • John Holt: Caleb, is there anything in you that wants to save your marriage?

    Caleb Holt: Maybe. If Catherine wanted to. But she doesn't. She wants divorce.

    John Holt: Is that what you want?

    Caleb Holt: I want peace. But what difference does it make? She signs the papers, dad, it's all over.

    John Holt: Have you agreed to start the process with her?

    Caleb Holt: No, but I think we both understand where this is all headed. I've got plans to meet with my lawyer tomorrow.

    John Holt: Caleb, I want you to do something for me.

    Caleb Holt: What?

    John Holt: I want you to hold off on the divorce for 40 days.

    Caleb Holt: Why?

    John Holt: I'm gonna send you something in the mail. Something that'll take you that long to do.

    Caleb Holt: What is it?

    John Holt: It's what saved our marriage.

    Caleb Holt: Dad, if this is a religious thing, I'd rather you didn't.

    John Holt: Look at it as a gift from your father. Take one day at a time. Then see what happens. Please son. If for no other reason; do it for me. I'm asking as your father.

    Caleb Holt: 40 days?

    John Holt: 40 days.

  • Michael Simmons: 40 days? Does Catherine know?

    Caleb Holt: I'm not gonna tell her. If she wants to go ahead and file, it's up to her.

    Michael Simmons: Divorce is a hard thing, man.

    Caleb Holt: Well, if it brings peace...

    Michael Simmons: But Caleb, you want the right kind of peace.

    Caleb Holt: What do you mean by that?

    Michael Simmons: You know what that ring on your finger means?

    Caleb Holt: It means I'm married.

    Michael Simmons: Yeah, well, it also means you made a lifelong covenant by putting on that ring, by saying your vows. The sad part about it is when most people promise for better or for worse, they really only mean for the better.

    Caleb Holt: Catherine and I were in love when we got married. Today we're two very different people, all right? It's just not working out anymore.

    Michael Simmons: Caleb, salt and pepper are completely different. Their makeup is different; their taste and their color. But you always see 'em together. And when you... Hang on a second.

    [Michael glues a salt and pepper shaker together]

    Caleb Holt: What are you doing? Michael, what did you do that for?

    Michael Simmons: Caleb, when two people get married, it's for better or for worse, for richer or for poor, in sickness and in health.

    Caleb Holt: I know that. But marriages aren't fireproof. Sometimes you get burned.

    Michael Simmons: Fireproof doesn't mean a fire will never come, but that when it comes you'll be able to withstand it.

    Caleb Holt: You didn't have to glue them together.

    [Caleb picks up the shakers and starts trying to force them apart]

    Michael Simmons: Don't do it, Caleb. If you pull them apart now, you'll break either one or both of them.

    Caleb Holt: I am not a perfect person, but better than most. And if my marriage is failing, it is not all my fault.

    Michael Simmons: But, Caleb, man, I've seen you run into a burning building to save people you don't even know. But you're gonna let your own marriage just burn to the ground.

    Caleb Holt: Michael, you are my friend. And I have allowed you to speak freely to me on this job. Don't abuse it.
