A movie about high school Juniors, with a cast well into its twenties and thirties, just doesn't work.

Gimme a B! Gimme an L! Gimme an A! Gimme an N! Gimme a D! What's that spell? BLAND!

Ye gad--how old are these actors playing teenagers? Oh, never mind.

Fired Up! is the teen sex comedy done right. It's fresh, it's funny, and you won't feel like you need a shower after watching it.

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!

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.

Raging hormones rule in crude cheerleading comedy.

promises guilty pleasure, but has the edge of a bowling ball

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

Olsen is nicely deadpan, but save for a handful of S-words, there's nothing here you couldn't see on TV, and thus it wouldn't hurt to wait for that format if you have even the slightest bit of interest.

An affable throwback to the comedies of the 1980s...

Will Shawn prove his love for her by committing himself to the cheerleading squad? Will Carly ever find out that her current boyfriend, Dr. Rick (David Walton), is also a lying male slut? Will anyone need a trip to the clinic?

Nicholas D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen make a hilarious pair; If you're under the age of 25 you’ll like it.

Sloppy but moderately amusing.

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

If this movie were a teenager, you'd put it on Ritalin right away.

Spending time with these guys is the longest 89 minutes ever.

The film’s misogyny is countered only by its homophobia -- its male gay characters are mincing idiots, while the women could have walked out of a you-wish Playboy spread.

The idea may be dusty -- this is Wedding Crashers on the football field -- but the delivery is fresh.

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.
