a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Fired Up (2009): Dir: Will Gluck / Cast: Nicholas D'Agosto, Eric Christian Olsen, Sarah Roemer, Molly Sims, Danneel Harris: Uninspired geek show about freedom, or lack of it. It seems that the makers of this film had too much of it. It stars Nicholas D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen as two college football players who ditch camp to attend cheerleader camp. Lame, obvious and stupid best describe this idiotic peep show that grows a faults sentimentalism towards the conclusion, as if anybody actually learns a lesson from this garbage. Directed by Will Gluck who seems inspired by previous teen romps but this falls in with the countless sex romps that fail to engage as oppose to the ones that viewers can relate to. Complete with lousy acting by all. D'Agosto and Olsen run the cheerleading course with complete obvious conclusions. Sarah Roemer as head cheerleader is the obvious romantic prop with all the personality of a pom pom. Molly Sims as a coach and targeted sex symbol needs to test that statement on a better film than this. Why Miss March was blasted upon release when a film such as this exits, remains a mystery. At least Miss March, despite also being raunchy perversion, played around with the idea or fantasy of having a playmate girlfriend and the reality of real women. This film is nothing more than raunchy humour and an excuse for perversion. This film should be fired up into the air and shot at. Score: 2 / 10

Giving the movie a 7 and the DVD a 9 for an 8 average. This is how you make a predictable teen comedy work - keep your foot on the gas at all times, even through the end credits. There's about 120 minutes worth of script packed in to 90 minutes here and most of that is carried well by the capable (if playing well beyond age) leading men. At least one repeat viewing is necessary.Most of the failings of the film are addressed openly in the DVD commentary, hence my higher rating. Everything from poor location scouting to keeping large nostrils tilted down gets discussed (and banana pants is the secret phrase). The biggest mistake brought up being the push to get a PG-13 rating for a movie almost exclusively about sex. Some of that works for laughs, though, as the substitute swear words are always more entertaining than their standard counterparts.In the end everyone wins and everyone is a better person. Did I mention it was predictable? But the jokes are funny and not overworked, and the women are beautiful. A great movie to have running in the background when you can't decide what to watch.

From start to finish the film doesn't get boring , the two main characters are true legends in this film they're acting is brilliant the chemistry between them really works , and the comedy side of it really is comedy GOLD , with sharp quick quotes , and a brilliant soundtrack,Fired Up! is a must see of 2009 well and onwards , the other characters have there own way of bringing they're bits to the screen Daneel Harris makes a brilliant extra on the cheer squad so for those who like comedy and a bit of cheer-leading (E.G Bring it on ETC.) this really is the comedy film for you , and your mates, and girlfriend."this isn't a movie about cheer-leading" Eric Christian Olsen's own wordsActors : 10/10 Comedy : 10/10 Everything Else 10/10

I downloaded this movie because i wanted to relax and have some fun,well,wanted to watch a nice romantic comedy or a teen comedy. This one is definitely a good one.. Good acting,good direction,Good comedy,great music etc make this movie worth to watch.. Isn't too much of a plot and frankly that doesn't matter because its a teen comedy and good looking people,who're also good actors,always make a good teen comedy.. Basically a story of two friends,they play for a high school football team and like all teenagers want to go and have some fun with girls..They go to a cheer-leading competition between schools to meet girls and boy,they find them.. All in all,thoroughly enjoyable,good refreshing comedy..
