Reviews for Fired Up
Top CriticSloppy but moderately amusing.

Top CriticExcuse me, I hear someone at the gates. Must be the barbarians, here at last.

Top CriticIf this movie were a teenager, you'd put it on Ritalin right away.
02/20/09
Top CriticSpending time with these guys is the longest 89 minutes ever.
02/20/09
Top CriticA teen comedy that views sex as an all-you-can-gorge buffet.
02/20/09
Top CriticNobody'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.
02/20/09
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 CriticAt once funnier than it should be and more witless than it should have been.
02/20/09
Top CriticPassable in its efficiency, Fired Up! is less offensive than it might have been while also managing to be staggeringly uninspired.
02/19/09
Top CriticAs long as you don't expect too much, Fired Up!'s aim is true enough.
02/19/09
Top CriticThe 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 CriticAn arduous cheerleader comedy geared toward those too green to know that cheerleader comedies went out long before the last pompom shake of Bring It On.
02/19/09
Top CriticOh, is this movie bad.
02/19/09
Top CriticMore tolerable than it ought to be.
02/19/09
Top CriticBikini-clad babes and sniggering humor abound in the teen sex comedy Fired Up!, but so do some other things: namely a charming cast, glimmers of intelligence and a sweetly youthful spirit.
02/19/09
Top CriticThe 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.
02/18/09
Top CriticThe 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
Top CriticNot 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.
02/18/09
Top CriticAn over-cranked teen comedy that only travels so far on its one-gag premise.

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.
