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

Reviews for Fired Up
Violates the most basic rules of cinematic storytelling grammar; and for this reason it transfixed me.
02/25/09
The problem with Fired Up is that it doesn't follow a simple rule of the genre: If you're going to make a raunchy teen sex comedy, go all the way.
02/18/09
More tolerable than it ought to be.
02/19/09
Top CriticThis new movie borrows from the 2005 Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson hit with such utter shamelessness, you have to wonder if royalty checks are already in the mail.
02/19/09
Like a grotesque hybrid between the straight-to-DVD American Pie and Bring It On sequels, Fired Up asks the audience to root for a skirt-chasing Seacrest-and-Dunkleman pair who operate like a hive-minded Van Wilder.
02/19/09
As annoying and predictable as this flick was, I found myself slapping my knee more than a couple of times. Don't waste your money to see it in theaters. Rent it!
02/21/09
No surprises along the way -- except perhaps how poorly the cheerleading routines are photographed and how much you can get away with in a PG-13 movie.
02/20/09
The movie has no comic or hormonal sensibility of its own -- every feeling in Fired Up! feels borrowed from another comedy, television show, or pop song.
02/19/09
Top CriticFired Up is both smarter and dumber than necessary, vacillating as it does between being a parody of teen sex comedies and a fresh example of the subgenre.
02/17/09
Man-boys, nubile girls, sporting hijinks, and beloved actor John Michael Higgins in a cameo; one would think with these tools the filmmakers could've invited any reaction from the viewer other than the one they achieve: self-immolation.
02/19/09
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
Oh, is this movie bad.
02/19/09
Top CriticI didn't half-mind Fired Up, but half a mind is more than it deserves. It's Wedding Crashers with high school seniors and bras and panties, as opposed to Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson and copious toplessness.
02/20/09
Top CriticIt was the rampant homophobia, tossed in everywhere it didn't belong, that convinced me Fired Up! is just a hateful mess.
02/18/09
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.
06/12/09
There isn't anything special here, but "Fired Up!" is still a lot more fun than the adult romantic comedies Hollywood has trotted out so far this year.
02/12/09
All the jokes, and the plot, go about halfway, then pull back in shame -- unless they're gay jokes, in which case anything goes.
02/20/09
As hard as this movie tries to 'bring it on', it probably should have left the cheerleading realm well enough alone ... one of the most blatantly sexist and homophobic comedies in some time.
02/18/09
Raging hormones rule in crude cheerleading comedy.

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.
