But summer is drawing near, and this year neither Shawn nor Nick can stomach the prospect of spending their sun-soaked months lunging at tackling dummies and getting berated by their coach. Fortunately, Nick has a brilliant solution to their current dilemma: sign up for cheerleading camp and spend the summer surrounded by gorgeous women. But head cheerleader Carly (Sarah Roemer) can see right through them, and when Shawn falls head over heels for her, their genius plan hits an unexpected hitch. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I eagerly want to watch this movie because I read that this is a directorial debut from director Will Gluck, whom his next two movies -'Easy A' & 'Friends With Benefits'- are two of my favorite comedy movies ever.. Just like what I saw in either 'Easy A' or 'Friends With Benefits... read more', Gluck shows his trademark in his style of directing with those fast conversation and fast-rolling scenes which is awesomely working for me.. Even though if I must compared this movie to the classic Cheerleading movie 'Bring It On', well this movie still a little way behind.. But overall, I do really enjoy the movie despite on the easy-to-verdict story they had in here..

    A silly comedy that really hit my funny bone. Not too over-the-top stupid...just some really funny, funny stuff!

    While on the plus side, it wasn't quite the boob fest I expected, (it is actually quite tame), it was still a long way from being a good movie. I have seen a lot worse, and this was watchable with a convincing enough cast (although I did not like Eric Christian Olsen at all - he... read more seemed to old for the part and of all of them, the worst actor). I think obviously I am just getting a little too old for this. The comment about Diora (Molly Sims) being 100 did rankle me a little (the woman is only one year older than I am!), as well as the premise of two guys joining a cheerleading squad to "score". Though, as previously stated, this was "nicer" than I expected and there was little nudity and quite tasteful, I am pretty much over this storyline. We've had American Pie how many times now? It was good, come up with something new!

    Cool movie, there's really nothing bad to say about this one. The movie is just simple and extremely entertaining so enjoy it. Funny comedy movie.

Ford Hi... read moregh School football team, are dreading the prospect of another summer at football camp. After Nick hatches a scheme for the two to join their schools cheerleaders at cheer camp instead, they find themselves awash in a sea of gorgeous young women. The guys are having the time of their lives until Shawn falls for Carly (Sarah Roemer), the beautiful head cheerleader who is very suspicious of their motives. To win Carly over, the boys must come up with some surprising new moves to prove Shawns intentions before the all-important cheer competition finals.

    It's not really a good movie at all, but there are definitely moments of comedy gold. I love, love, love that they quoted Bring It On verbatim.

    A teen comedy that is mildly entertaining in parts but with a pg-13/12 rating it lacks the punch of most other teen comedies recently like the American Pie films, Van Wilder etc. Young fun, good looking cast throw in some funny one liners and oddball characters and it's a passabl... read moree 90min comedy.

    In this movie there are scenes and dialogue that will give you slight brain damage. (It's not very good)

    I am very mixed on this one! I like the first half a little more than the second half, and by the end it sort of falls apart, but it is funnier than bring it on for sure!

    Written by four different writers under the combined porn-like pseudonym ?Freedom Jones,? this movie about football guys going to cheer camp to score with the limber ladies is ? watchable. It?s a silly male fantasy with 30-year-olds posing as high schoolers, the characters are al... read morel genre archetypes, and it ends up becoming an unbelievable romantic comedy, but it also feels like a throwback to the juvenile sex comedy buddy movies from the 1980s. The dialogue has a lot more zip and humor than I ever expected. Everything turns into a quip, in a substandard but less hyper literate Diablo Cody style. The main actors have fun spitting out the dialogue, and Fired Up! Is funnier than it has any right to be. At the same time, there are plenty of easy gags around homoeroticism and a PG-13 atmosphere feels too tame for this kind of material. I don?t hate myself for liking this movie because it?s a step up from its cheer competition, but at the same time I?m not dumb enough to classify Fired Up! as anything more than a quizzically entertaining passer of time.

    Nate?s Grade: B

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. Full Review
