Reviews for Fired Up
This is not made for anyone with more than a sprinkling of intelligence.
07/10/09
A charmless, witless, lumbering mess. Almost nothing could redeem this lame comedy.
07/10/09
Trashy values place this generic comedy decidedly in the Bush era.
07/10/09
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.
07/10/09
A lamentably unfunny flick.
07/10/09
Five, six, seven, eight; Fired Up is not so great.
07/10/09
This aggressively stupid comedy tries to have it both ways, advocating sexual probity while its cameras linger over acres of golden female thighs.
07/10/09
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.
07/10/09
Clichéd execution, paper-thin characters.
07/10/09
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.
07/10/09
Surprisingly, first-time director Will Gluck takes this raunchy premise and twists it into a boobs-free romantic comedy.
07/10/09
Dross.
07/10/09
Most of the gags are blah, blah, blah rather than ra, ra, ra.
07/10/09
A puerile, remedial class version of Wedding Crashers.
07/10/09
Fired Up will never win any prizes for wit or originality. The jokes are obvious, the plot is predictable and the whole formulaic film feels like a gentler throwback to racy Eighties teen comedies like Porky’s.
07/10/09
A misogynistic American teen gross-out comedy. Celebrating male promiscuity as a rite-of-passage while demonising girls for sleeping around, it never even attempts to punish its protagonists for their horn-dog ways.
07/10/09
Ultimately let down by obnoxious characters, a half-hearted plot and a criminal lack of actual nudity.
07/09/09
Broad and very silly, this comedy just about keeps us chuckling even when things get stupid and predictable
07/09/09
The poster for Fired Up! emphasizes the letters "F" and "U," as if it were almost, but not quite brave enough to do something dirty.

March 01, 2009:
Foul mouthed football players turned cheerleaders, with all the elegance of a sledgehammer, come off as far too horny for high school. Earplugs, please. Not to mention a too much information, accidental promo for home schooling. Hose this one down.
