Anybody who is married should see this movie because we've all had bumps in the road along the way.
Fire department Captain Caleb Holt (Kirk Cameron) is valued and respected everywhere he goes, except at home. His wife Catherine (Erin Bethea), overwhelmed by her career and her mother's inability to communicate, doesn't feel loved by him; and Caleb's withdrawal of love, along with her inability to respect him cause them to pursue divorce.
Upon finding out about their troubled marriage, Caleb's dad asks him to hold off proceeding with the divorce to make one last effort to save his marriage, a forty-day experiment called, "The Love Dare." Caleb reluctantly agrees to it, and forgetting it took years to dig the hole that their relationship is in, he is upset when it doesn't work immediately. For reasonable reasons, she doesn't react to his efforts at first.
Will Caleb continue to keep going even though she refuses to believe he'll change? Can his dad's love and guidance keep him believing? Will God save their marriage, and make it healthy again? These are the questions that this film answers.

Rocky, now a widower, is living his life more in the past than the present. His son, Robert, isn't very involved in Rocky's life. Pauly is still in Rocky's life, and is as grumpy as ever.
Rocky, feeling like his boxing life isn't finished, decides to box again. Because Rocky wins a computer-simulated match against the current champ, Mason "The Line" Dixon, an exhibition is set. Rocky's trainer, Duke, makes no bones about Rocky's deficiencies, and Rocky adjusts his regimen to maximize his odds for another impossible fight.
Does he go the distance, or does the obvious physical disadvantage finally work against him? Make no mistake, this is more Rocky 1-4 than another Rocky V. If you keep your expectations reasonable, you will enjoy this film. I was pleasantly surprised with how this turned out.
