Reviews for Fired Up
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.

"F.U. stands for funny. An outrageous sex-obsessed teen comedy that's something to cheer about - especially if you're 16.

I 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.

Top CriticAs far as this sort of raunchy campus comedy goes, Fired Up! isn't as bad as you might expect... But of course that doesn't mean it's good.
02/20/09
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.

Check my man card at the door and begin making fun of me because I have to admit to completely enjoying Fired Up!.
02/20/09
What could have been something hearty and earthy and bouncy and sexy is instead unpleasant like sweaty bedsheets... sweaty with someone else's sweat, that is.
02/20/09
This is a film so scuzzy and creepy in tone that you keep getting the sense that if there was any possible that it could slip a roofie into your soda while you weren't looking, it would.
02/20/09
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
At once funnier than it should be and more witless than it should have been.
02/20/09
The dozen or so laughs I got out of it, while solid indeed, aren't enough to justify a 90-minute movie.

The Maxim revolution kicks off with Fired Up and the fact that even the now Hammond-less skin mag's name is nowhere to be found on the title, should tell you that even they are trying to maintain some dignity.
02/19/09
It goes without saying that Fired Up! is predictable, but that wouldn't have mattered were there a semblance of reality or charm to the proceedings.

It might not be original, but Fired Up! makes you laugh
02/19/09
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.
02/19/09
Passable in its efficiency, Fired Up! is less offensive than it might have been while also managing to be staggeringly uninspired.
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 long as you don't expect too much, Fired Up!'s aim is true enough.
02/19/09
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.
