well done movie Dec 02, 2009
Thought provoking movie with meaning. It was like going to a marriage enrichment program without the high priced fee. Having a firefighter husband simply added to making it personal.

 Not worth the full price Aug 18, 2009
Movie soundtracks are tricky. It's difficult to separate a critique of the soundtrack from a critique of the movie itself and vice-versa. They really are just part of the same package, as the soundtrack would not exist had the movie not been made, and most people buy a soundtrack because they enjoyed or connected with the movie. The songs serve to help them relive moments in the movie. For example, every time I hear the theme from Jurassic Park, I picture the moment where we first see the landscape scattered with dinosaurs, and the little kid in me gets goose bumps again.
Clearly, the movie Fireproof was no Jurassic Park. Without getting into a full review of the movie, I'll just say that while I felt the movie was still severely lacking in major quality areas as far as the art was concerned, I was very impressed by Sherwood's Pictures' handling of a very important issue. Yes, the dialogue was very stilted at times, and the general quality of the production wasn't up to snuff, but the movie's impact on marriages across the country cannot be discounted. An objective review would obviously find faults galore, but millions of people re-committed themselves to their spouses at least in part from the movie.
These people are the audience to which the Fireproof Official Soundtrack may appeal. Consisting of 6 songs from major artists (Leeland, Third Day, Casting Crowns, John Waller, Grey Holliday, and Warren Barfield) as well as the original score of the movie, the soundtrack is truly a soundtrack, including only songs directly from the movie (no "inspired by" tracks here). The album will no doubt connect with many who loved the film, but aside from a couple of the instrumental score tracks, there's just nothing new here worth a purchase of the album.
The score really lacks a theme, a running melody throughout each of the songs that identifies the movie and re-conjures the associated feeling from the movie. Essentially, what you have is decent instrumental music, combined with 6 Christian pop songs. My thought is if you like the songs from the movie (and I did and actually think they did a good job of utilizing them in the movie), you can buy them individually for much cheaper. The original score just doesn't add enough to make buying the whole soundtrack worth it.
Fireproof was a big step up from Facing the Giants in terms of filmmaking quality, but they still have a long way to go. I really hope the movie's success continues to translate into improved quality in future Sherwood films so I can praise something other than the filmmakers' intentions and message. For now, that's all we really have.
