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. (Or, as Caleb puts it to a devout fellow firefighter, “I’m in!”) It won’t be revealing any spoilers to confirm that by the film’s conclusion the main characters have not only reconciled but also display a newfound faith.
Although resistant at first, Caleb dutifully follows its recommendations even while his disaffected spouse becomes increasingly receptive to the flirtations of a co-worker. His concerned father (Harris Malcolm) provides him with a handwritten 40-day plan for restoring his marriage called “The Love Dare,” featuring heavy Christian undertones. Starring Kirk Cameron - who has made a specialty of faith-driven films - and a largely nonprofessional cast, the film centers on the fraying marriage between Albany firefighter Caleb Holt (Cameron) and his wife, Catherine (Erin Bethea), a hospital PR director.Ĭaleb, whose work motto is “Never leave your partner behind,” has failed to apply the dictum to his wife, neglecting her in favor of, as she derisively puts it, “Pleasing himself on the Internet.”
