Movie Reviews of Fired Up (Unrated Version)
Movie Review: Unexpectively hilarious
Summary: 4 Stars
This isn't your basic cheerleading movie. This movie pokes fun at cheerleading and show 2 guys doing what ever man dreams of.. pulling cheerleader after cheerleader at a cheer camp. It's a little cliche and pretty predictable but the different adventures that these 2 guys get into within the camp are awesome..Movie Review: I'm not a teenager but I love teen movies.

IT was funny, those to guy are really cute, but this is not a family movieMovie Review: Not Smart, Not Horribly Stupid, Just Stupid
Summary: 3 Stars
There's sort of a stupidty meter with movies like this. There's smart funny, where the humor is good, well pointed, some kind of redeeming quality to them (Canadian Bacon, Wayne's World / Wayne's World 2, come to mind). Then there's the movies that are so bad, so offensive, that they are funny (Dude, Where's My Car?, National Lampoon's Van Wilder, for example). Then there's a whole bunch of movies in the middle, not hilarious, not stupid funny, but just kind of funny - well there's where we land with Fired Up. Middle of the road. There's funny moments, there's some pretty girls, and there's a funny plot.
Two high school football players, who happen to be the school players, are tired of their prospects for chicks. They get the bright idea that cheerleader camp would be a place to score 300 new chicks, all in one place at one time. How cool is that? So they become cheerleaders and go to camp. They score. But really they fall in love with two cheerleaders, and they help the cheerleading squad out. And everyone lives happily ever after. It's that sweet.
What's this unrated monkey business? The theatrical version was rated PG-13. Almost every bit of humor is related to sex in some way. So I have no idea how they dodged the R rating in theaters. At any rate, there is exactly one scene, the skinny dipping scene where a really gorgeous girl removes her swimsuit top (total time maybe 10 seconds), that puts this at R rating. Mind you it's a scene that should have been in the movie to start with, and there actually should have been many more of those kinds of scenes. Actually there's a fairly lame scene of two girls kissing, maybe the MPAA wouldn't have liked that. No there's no shower scenes, no raids in the middle of the night while the girls sleep...none of those things at all.
Production wise - no idea why anyone would really care? It's very poorly shot. The editing is not good. The surround sound - virtually absent or the soundstage was totally flat and lifeless. There is absolutely nothing here that a television hack crew couldn't have accomplished in their sleep. But none of that makes a difference, this is a silly summer movie.
Acting - virtually everyone is an unknown, relatively new actor, or deep on the B/C acting list. It was a little hard for me to beleive that these two dunder heads were that hot and popular with the women. They are OK, they are reasonably funny, but they weren't these amazing guys. The girls are pretty, no question there, well worth watching. Jokes are well delivered and hit punch lines about right.
The bonus features are super lame. No they are down right awful. That 8 minutes of the cast saying the f word, just plain old and dumb. Nothing funny there. That 12th hour of the publicity tour - that was so scripted and lame. The blonde guy going off, totally a scripted and badly acted moment. No skip them completely, no reason to stop there. I think there are about 100 trailers for other films.
Not a strong recommendation. Not a stinker. You know who you are that will enjoy this.
Movie Review: How Do You Spell Fired Up....F U!
Summary: 3 Stars
"Fired Up" is a cheerleading comedy that stars Eric Christian Olsen as Nick Brady & Nicholas D' Agosto as Shawn Colfax as they play two very athletic "macho-wacho" football players who decide to skip football camp for a summer of paradise at a high school cheerleading camp.
After scoring chicks all year long, Nick (Olsen) & Shawn (D' Agosto) decide to skip football camp for the summer to join their high school cheerleaders for 3 wonderful weeks at cheerleading camp in order to score with more chicks. Once they arrive at camp, both guys are able to score with the majority of the girls there until Shawn eventually falls for the head cheerleader, Carly (Sarah Roemer).
While Shawn is trying to win the affection of Carly's from her undeserving current boyfriend, Rick (David Walton), Nick is trying his hardest to score with the head cheerleading coach Diora. During all this mess, the cheerleading team is trying to figure out how not to come in last place again. They soon figure out the only way to not come in last place anymore is to pull off the most difficult cheer move ever, "The Fountain Of Troy".
After the 3 weeks come to an end, Nick is ready to leave camp and go home but Shawn rather stay because he really wants to win not only the cheer competition but also Carly's love. Being the great friend he his, Nick decides to stay with Shawn at the camp.
As the movie comes to a close, Shawn gets the girl and the team is able to pull off "The Fountain Of Troy" which prohibits the them from coming in last place again (19th to be exact). Also, Nick is able to hook up with Diora so in the end everyone is happy.
Even though the movie is more on the corny and stupid side, "Fired Up" is a movie that is funny and worth a watch if comedy is your thing. I enjoy this movie very much and I definitely recommend this movie at the appropriate and reasonable price.
