  • Summary: Shawn and Nick are top scorers on the Ford High School football team…both on and off the field. When they hatch a scheme to trade their footballs for pom poms and join the school’s most beautiful girls at cheer camp, the new team members actually give the girls’ historically awful cheer squar squad a chance at success. And when Shawn falls for the head cheerleader, the boys must learn some new moves and unleash their inner spirit to prove their intentions before the all-important cheer competition finals.

    The teensploitation premise is like something a porn filmmaker from the '70s might have come up with. But Fired Up! has one added quirk: The script, credited to Freedom Jones, is a riot of tongue-twisting ironic sleaze -- it sounds like the first (and last) collaboration between Diablo Cody and Artie Lange.

    I didn't half-mind Fired Up, but half a mind is more than it deserves.

    Fired Up feels like everybody's first time doing anything - writing, acting, directing, cheerleading.

    It's like being trapped for an hour-and-a-half in a pound full of yappy puppies.

    I think the main reason it's getting reviews that aren't good is that the target audience is mainly younger people, rather than the people who are most likely to be reviewing it. I thought it was funny from the beginning to the end. It was joke after joke after joke. It was consistently funny throughout the entire movie. The ending is also kind of a surprise. It's definitely enjoyable, and it's worth seeing.… Collapse

    This movie isn't as bad as everyone else is saying it is. it isn't only about two guys who are womanizers but also about a cheerleading squad that comes in last every year and with the help of these "womanizers" come up and do better than ever before.… Expand

    Hyper-fast teen comedy made to make people laugh and not to be taken too seriously. The jokes come hard, fast and un-PC, but they are never mean-spirited; there are tons of obvious and obscure (visual and verbal) references for geeky viewers to parse and the whole thing is extremely self-referential and postmodern-y. Think less "American Pie" and "Bring It On" and more "Clueless" and "Popular" on hormonal overdrive. Well worth a watch, just like the director's follow-up "Easy A".… Expand
