Sloppy but moderately amusing.
Excuse me, I hear someone at the gates. Must be the barbarians, here at last.
If this movie were a teenager, you'd put it on Ritalin right away.
Spending time with these guys is the longest 89 minutes ever.
A teen comedy that views sex as an all-you-can-gorge buffet.
Nobody's going to get all that fired up about Fired Up, the latest in what seems like a million-mile-long line of purposely dumb adolescent sex comedies. But as genre entries go, this one's passable fun.
It sounds like that the kind of thing that would have been right at home with the teen comedies of twenty years ago, or even the brief American Pie-ish revival. But compared to current stuff it's actually kind of quaint.
This is not made for anyone with more than a sprinkling of intelligence.
A charmless, witless, lumbering mess. Almost nothing could redeem this lame comedy.
Trashy values place this generic comedy decidedly in the Bush era.
Fired Up is big on stereotypes (hello, gay Indian guy), overstatement (if you didn't already realise, loud = funny) and borderline homophobia. To paraphrase Repo Man, the longer you watch this, the stupider you might become.
A lamentably unfunny flick.
Five, six, seven, eight; Fired Up is not so great.
This aggressively stupid comedy tries to have it both ways, advocating sexual probity while its cameras linger over acres of golden female thighs.
Fired Up is a desperate and vacuous attempt at a teen comedy that not only lacks laughs, but even the gross-out moments and shameless nudity used by other such genre offerings.
Clichéd execution, paper-thin characters.
Fired Up is cinema as abuse, and its chief victim is any paying audience. To have shelled out cash for this witless farrago of sub-Porky's japery and straight-to-bargain-bin acting would be the airborne spin that broke the cheerleader's back.
Surprisingly, first-time director Will Gluck takes this raunchy premise and twists it into a boobs-free romantic comedy.
Most of the gags are blah, blah, blah rather than ra, ra, ra.
