Reviews for Fired Up
The screenplay is patchy and inconsistent, and provides few chuckles.

U-G-L-Y.

Top CriticIt fails, partly through prudery -- the "nude" scenes are notably unrevealing -- and partly because the leading men make no effort to perform their own stunts.
04/24/09
It's very tame, and that's a quality no mindless movie can afford.
04/23/09
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
04/18/09
A harmless teen comedy with more enthusiasm than cinematic merit, Fired Up! combines silliness, low-brow humour, romance and cheerleading acrobatics in its formulaic and predictable arsenal

S-U-C-K! What does this movie do? It sucks! O-M-F-G! It sucks!
03/16/09
It's often an excruciating experience, entirely reliant on obvious stereotypes and unfunny verbalizing for its humor
03/13/09
the film's one genuine charm is its ridiculous and clever use of nonsensical words and phrases to discuss R-rated material under the PG-13 umbrella
03/11/09
Fired Up! is the worst of its kind: a cheap imitation of much better films, a 90-minute dirty joke with no punch line.
03/08/09
Sarah Roemer stands out in 'Fired Up!' I found her to be the only cast member who comes across as a real human being.
03/06/09
Fired Up fails to ignite.
03/05/09
Just about what you'd expect, only maybe a little more smutty, 'Fire Up!' is sort of a lesser, junior version of 'Wedding Crashers' combined with 'Bring It On.'
03/03/09
'Fired Up!' has a great story to tell for sure, but it just doesn't make a good 'PG-13' movie.

Plays like a long lost relic of the 1998-2001 teen movie boom.
02/26/09
Violates the most basic rules of cinematic storytelling grammar; and for this reason it transfixed me.
02/25/09
It's an adolescent boy's callow pom-pom fantasy.
