Call me crazy, but as a red-blooded American male, I enjoy watching hot girls in skimpy outfits jump around on the movie screen.

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 squad a chance at success. And when Shawn falls for the head cheerleader (Sarah Roemer), the boys must learn some new moves and unleash their inner spirit to prove their intentions before the all-important cheer competition finals. --© Sony Pictures [More]

Reviews for Fired Up
"F.U. stands for funny. An outrageous sex-obsessed teen comedy that's something to cheer about - especially if you're 16.
The screenplay is patchy and inconsistent, and provides few chuckles.
If today’s modern cheerleader -- half porn star, half girl next door -- distracts viewers from the game, shouldn’t the modern cheerleader movie distract us from a lack of minor incidentals like believable plot points and honest comic zingers?
Check my man card at the door and begin making fun of me because I have to admit to completely enjoying Fired Up!.
Violates the most basic rules of cinematic storytelling grammar; and for this reason it transfixed me.
Surprisingly, first-time director Will Gluck takes this raunchy premise and twists it into a boobs-free romantic comedy.
Not content to be just another dumb high school flick, it's actually teaching young, virginal viewers to treat women like stupid, submissive slut-cattle for the rest of their lives.
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.
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.
Fired Up delivers consistent laughs, and it treats its female characters (and even its gay ones) with enough dignity that you won't hate yourself in the morning.
Most of the characters are unappealing in many ways; many of the girls are air heads with so little nous as to be embarrassing. Most of the young males are either obnoxious, self obsessed caricatures, sexual predators without teeth, or nerds
As long as you're willing to suspend your disbelief and check your brain at the door, you'll find Fired Up! to be a zany and mindlessly entertaining laugh riot.
