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

The movie was hilarious in all the right ways! I loved this movies and would watch it again and again. The actors were amazing and in whole this movie was great! It has an original take on something so simple but makes everyone laugh whilst doing it!No awkward silences when a joke isn't funny and you can just enjoy it all the way through! I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes teen/collage movies and comedies, pure classic! If you like Bring it on! or any of those movies then you should definitely watch fired up. A film any teen can enjoy.Laugh out loud comedy, i love it!

This movie uses every possible cliché EVER. It's so predictable every detail. But thats the least problem with it. Whole story is based on telling lies and deceiving people but when someone else is doing the same thing - the main characters are turning into moral standards. It's sick... Using double standards then "You" do it and when "He" or "She" does it. In so moments the movie is so dumb I just couldn't watch it... cliché after cliché and another one follows it.Also the vision of free sex, not even mention fornication, is just beyond any reason. Kids watch it and they wanna be like those characters but the reality is too often bringing them down to the ground. This is the deceptive view shown to the world how life in America is. And it's totally false. There is no high school in America with only cute girls and handsome boys. It's sickens me to see this over and over in those movies. Spear your brain cells and don't watch it.

In general, the juvenile comedy genre disappointed me very much in recent years, due to the crowd of unbearable pieces of crap straight-to-DVD (such as, for example, Cougar Club and Picture This), which almost extinguished my taste for this underrated genre.So, without being a great film, I liked Fired Up, because it does not fall on the easy scatological humor; and even though it relies on the old formula of "louts looking for sex", it uses a context and a development which are enough different in order to separate it from many cheap clones of American Pie which try to occupy the niche created by gems such as Clueless, Weird Science and Can't Hardly Wait.In Fired Up, the technical aspects are correct, but they do not have too much creativity; the performances are barely functional; and director Will Gluck drives the movie with a good rhythm, but he does not show too much vision (a few interesting transitions are not enough to bring a visual identity to the movie).Fortunately, the screenplay from the movie comes to the rescue by creating entertaining situations which on some way conciliate the message of equality and tolerance the movie proposes.Finally, the characters are interesting and their dialogs are well written.In summary, Fired Up may not be a highly memorable experience, but it kept me entertained and it made me laugh, and I think it deserves a recommendation because of that.
