Kudos to the casting agents for this one -- it's fun and lively and moves along steadily to the predictable happy ending, but along the way the dialogue is snappy, witty, and oddly believable. Why so? Hard to believe, but it was the great chemistry of the two bromantic leads! They play off each other perfectly, and because they're sharply versed with each other, it's instantly believable that they're also sharply-witted with others. It's rare to have the sex-hungry jock teens be intelligent too (smart jocks? Who'd buy that?), yet it works! I bought it, I laughed (a lot!) and I never reached a point where I thought the lead characters had stepped to a point of groan-ness. So kudos to the casting, and the lead actors themselves -- should the chance happen again, I'd gladly see another comedy with these two -- they make a good 'bro' pair.

This movie did not intrigue me at all when it was first announced and I waited until it came out on DVD until I saw it. But overall it was an enjoyable funny teen comedy with hilarious moments. Fired Up is basically your typical teen movie with high school jocks obsessed with hooking up with hot high school girls. Ignoring the cliché plot, the two leads of the movie in Nick D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen are a great pair. There are definitely some lines in the film that you will have quoting after watching and hot teenage girls in cheer leading uniforms can never be a bad thing. Sarah Roemer is absolutely stunning and not a bad actor to boot. Go check this low budget comedy out for the laughs

Hilarious from start to finish - if you're a fan of Blue Mountain State (2010), The American Pie: A Primeira Vez é Inesquecível (1999) films or Não é Mais um Besteirol Americano (2001), you'll love this movie. Every moment is hilarious and the chemistry between the two guys are killer. What a blast - And forget about the low ratings; this one ain't for the critics! 👍

Fired Up looked like a stinker based on its premise "2 guys 300 girls" - but it is much wittier and fresher than expected.
It's all pretty silly and juvenile but at least it does so with a great sense of fun and doesn't take it self seriously.
Lots of innuendo, sex banter, but nothing too serious ,and it really is pretty funny stuff.
A good cast who can carry this off with panache and a definite sense of sporting fun - it is part pastiche of sporting movies - all help the time whiz by.
All in all if you want a fun movie for a pizza night and its a mixed group this actually works well. Not 100% a guys movie at all.

I reluctantly went to a private screening of this the other day, and found myself laughing quite a bit. Although the premise is as lame as it gets, it's the characters that save this one. They poke at high school stereotypes most of the time, which I found pretty dull, but there are many moments where the lines are executed hilariously making it entertaining for the most part. If you've seen Eric Christian Olsen from other movies and enjoyed his faces and humor, you would find this one amusing as well. The acting is definitely not the best I've ever seen, seems way too forced at times, and the situations can get kind of ridiculous, but like I said- for me, it wasn't how the movie set up the humor, but the animated expressions and characterizations throughout that made me sit through and still enjoy this one. Still worth watching at least once, in my opinion.

I remember when I first saw the trailer for this teen comedy flick a couple years ago I thought I'd never ever watch it in my life. Little did I know it was actually quite entertaining and funny. The TV spots were even more disadvantageous to my cinematic tastes. Even so, it was recommended to me by a fellow movie buff, so I gave it a peek.
Fired Up! starts out at a fictitious high school in Illinois. Ironically the mascot for the team is the same as my high school alma mater, the Tigers. Although it didn't take place at the same high school in Illinois, the field and school logo resembled some nostalgia. This film is basically about two popular high school football players that have the bright idea to attend cheerleader camp. "2 guys. 300 girls. You do the math." Not knowing what they're in for, they actually end up having feelings for two of the cheerleaders and enjoy cheering. I know, it sounds kinda like a romantic comedy at this point, but it's really not. Throughout the movie the two jocks crack jokes and seduce girls at an alarming rate. It's quite entertaining really.
Nicholas D'Agosto plays the dark-haired fellow named Shawn Colfax. He's appeared in several small TV roles and more recently in movies. I'm most familiar with him being Hunter from NBC's The Office, who is Jan's receptionist (Michael Scott's boss at the time). Haha that musical CD his character had during the Dinner Party episode was hilarious. D'Agosto will also be appearing in Final Destination 5 this August. The trailer looks pretty cool. I thought D'Agosto did a fine job in Fired Up!.
The other blonde-haired jock is played by Eric Christian Olsen, his character's name is Nick Brady. He's most notably from 2001′s Not Another Teen Movie where he plays "The Cocky Blonde Guy." Makes sense.
The director of Fired Up! is Will Gluck. Although I have never seen it and probably should (probably cause it's a rom-com), he directed Easy A, starring Emma Stone. He also directed Friends With Benefits, starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, which comes out next Friday, July 22nd.
Overall I thought this movie was great for our generation of Millennials. As unfortunate as it may be we grew up with MTV and silly slap-stick raunchy comedies. I can totally understand why the critics gave it a bad rap. As reluctant as I am to rate it a "Four Star Rating," it will only be getting a six. The acting was sloppy and the only thing that kept me interested at times was all the cheerleading eye-candy.
6/10 Stars.

It seems the positive reviews are based on the fact that the reviewers were going in expecting the absolute worst. And because they didn't get the absolute worst, they are willing to give the movie a decent 5+ rating. Well, I'm not so easy. Sure the screening was free, and I expected a dreadful movie, but just because it is one notch above dreadful doesn't mean I'm giving it a 5+ rating. I'm giving it the rating I would have given it had I chose to go see and paid the $10 and given over 90 minutes of my life.
There isn't much positive to say about this movie, but what little there is I'll say first. There are a few smiles in the movie, but if you've seen the trailer you've seen 80% of them. There are some pop culture references that are mildly amusing as well, and a few moments where the movie makes fun of itself. But these moments are few and far between. Now for the bad.
The plot is beyond predictable. There is no surprises or interest or suspense. The casting is creepy/bad. When you have a 31 year old actor making moves on a 16 year old, it is disquieting. Generally the quality of acting is passable, but given the source material it is impossible to say whether these people have any real talent or not. The look of the film is low budget, and editing hurried. I don't think anyone took any pride in making this one, it's prolly a movie people did for the paycheck and the paycheck alone. The dialog 99% of the time is bad. The marketing people keep trying to tie this one to the wedding crashers, but don't be fooled. The two leads in the Wedding crashers were from a different and markedly superior comedic gene pool. And the scripts are much different in quality. Not that the Wedding Crashers was genius, but it was decent. The final thing that bugged me was the makers cutting the film for a PG-13 rating. I guess their hoping that young people will make this profitable. American Pie worked because they went for the R rating and could be edgy and push things. PG-13 means that anything except the mildest of sexual innuendo is verboten. Boring and sanitized.
So, if you're really keen on this movie, wait for the DVD. That way it'll cost less and you can fast forward. It's really not worth $10 and 90 minutes.

first off, this is no monty python comedy. this is your standard modern comedy with a sub par storyline putting two people in an uncomfortable position and seeing the hilarity that ensues. this is not a thinking man's comedy. this is a "watch if you wanna quote a movie for years to come with your friends" comedy. i was skeptical at first because from the trailer, the movie just looks stupid. but a friend of mine said he went and saw it, expecting to sleep through it, and loved it. so i watched it, and i agree. the one liners are great, eric Christian olsen is hilarious as his usual lovable stoner character, and will gluck (who did the short lived series "the loop," also hilarious) does a great job at directing this comedy. only reason it's not a ten is because it's pretty easily predictable, but hilarious nonetheless. if you're a fan of stupid humor, or the series will gluck's "the loop" you'll love this.

If you're looking to raise your Intelligence Quotient a few points, you're probably not going to want to devote much time to "Fired Up!" (if anything, you're likely to LOSE a few points if you commit yourself to watching it). If, however, you're in the market for an endearingly mindless, good-natured sex romp, then you could do a whole lot worse than this low-budget teen-movie parody, written by Freedom Jones and directed by Will Gluck and featuring a cast of high-spirited youngsters who make up for in energy what they lack in marquee-name value.
Nicholas D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen play two high school football jocks who are clearly more concerned with scoring off the field than on. To that end, they sign up for a cheerleader camp where they'll have all the hot young babes they could possibly want just for the asking. Before you know it, however, along with perfecting their lifts and splits, the two horny lads have discovered a sensitive, caring side to their personalities that they never knew existed before.
There isn't much to be said about "Fired Up!" except that it manages to be racy without being raunchy, inane without being flat-out stupid. Indeed, in the final analysis, it's the open-hearted innocence and lack of smarm that make this one enjoyable.

I was expecting a teen movie and was in fact very pleased to see very good acting, good directing, good filming and excellent lines ! If you like teen movies with 12 years old kind of jokes always link to pubes and excrement, do not watch Fired Up ! The acting is really good here and the lines are just so good, I found myself and my flatmates reusing them..
I actually watched this movie a second time and spotted things I did not even notice during the first viewing ! I mean the details and the number of characters with their very specific personality amazed me. This movie is rich and you will definitely think that it only lasted 30 minutes.
I read many comments comparing this movie to others but, I would say that in terms of "how good the lines are", I would compare it to Wedding Crasher, plus the main actors are really coordinated and it adds to the credibility of the movie.
It will definitely cheer you up and is the perfect movie to relax. Even the soundtrack is good and various.

You take the cheerleading clips from Bring It On and the typical "let's get laid" plot from American Pie, you get Fired Up.
It starts off the same as a typical raunchy comedy about two jocks just trying to get laid as much as they can. When Nick (Eric Christian Olsen) and Shawn (Nicholas D'Agosto) decide to go to cheer camp instead of football camp, they find themselves with three hundred horny girls and their entire world turned-upside-down.
Shawn falls for Carly (Sarah Roemer; recognized from Disturbia) and Nick falls for Diora (Molly Sims), who is married to the leader of the camp. At the halfway point of the movie, the film turns over a new leaf, as well as Nick and Shawn, and becomes something more than your average teen comedy about sex and stupid jokes.
I laughed quite a bit more than I expected to when I saw the trailer for the movie. Bits shown in the trailer do not do the comedy of the film justice. It is so much more than just a comedy, as well, it's a warm tale that proves anyone can do anything if they just believe in themselves.
It's inspiring, laughable, fun and romantic all-in-one. Aside from some profanities and small nudity, it's for all audiences, I think.

Shawn Colfax (Nicholas D'Agosto) and Nick Brady (Eric Christian Olsen) are high school best friends football players, and players with the girls. Football camp is going to be moved to El Paso. It's two weeks with no girls and lots of hard work. After overhearing the girls talk about cheer camp, the guys decide join. The captain Carly (Sarah Roemer) is suspicious. With sister Poppy (Juliette Goglia)'s help, the girls Bianca (Danneel Ackles), Sylvia (Margo Harshman) and Angela (Hayley Marie Norman) convince the coach that they need the boys to win over Carly's objection. The camp is run by husband and wife couple Diora (Molly Sims) and Keith (John Michael Higgins). The big competition is the Panthers captained by bitchy Gwyneth (AnnaLynne McCord).
Writer/director Will Gluck puts up a good effort that is better than most cheerleading teen movies. It's filled with fast talking jokes and the guys do the buddy comedy well. Naked cheerleading in front of John Michael Higgins is hilarious. However it never gets beyond the genre. It's not deeper than a simple uninspired teen raunchy comedy.

This is one of the more disappointing movies I've seen in my entire life. I don't know what's more offensive, the portrayal of gay and lesbian teens or the fact that they expect us to believe that a 30 year old Eric Christian Olsen and a 27 year old Nicholas D'Agosto are high school students. All this plus a poorly misplaced John Michael Higgins who is given absolutely nothing to work with. This movie is virtually plot less until the last 40 minutes and it's not even a good plot then. The ending is boring, anticlimactic and, in some aspects, downright insulting to the audience.
The worst part is the message: there is none. There's no clear theme or lesson in this story. Every character ended pretty much the same way as they started with almost nothing to gain from the experience.
On the bright side, I do have to congratulate the one million monkeys for successfully banging on one million typewriters for one million years to produce this textbook raunchy teen movie. You all have truly earned your one million bananas.

I was pretty skeptical about this movie, the previews when it was in theaters seemed repetitive so I didn't have much expectation for it and was actually surprised about how much I ended up enjoying it. I saw it with my boyfriend who was sure this was going to be more of a chick flick but he was laughing more than I was so it might be slightly more entertaining for guys.
The movie is about two high school jocks who decide they want to skip football camp in favor of a cheerleading camp. The idea started off as a joke, which was a relief because it would not have been as realistic and therefore not as entertaining. The movie, as it states, is in fact not a cheerleading movie for the most part. They do have some pretty good cheerleading routines at the end. It had some goofy moments that could have been toned down and would have been funnier. As someone stated before there were a lot of great one-liners that you didn't expect to be that funny. The changes in the 2 main characters are very believable, which seems like it would be hard to pull off in that situation, so that was refreshing. The music was very tastefully done and it was very funny to see how the guys viewed the world.
The actors playing the two guys are actually pretty good, had great facial expressions and funny reactions, they had great on-screen chemistry as best friends and went very well together. Their cheerleading teammates as a group were funny as well, though one of them seemed a little too out of place. The girl who plays the sister of one of the guys is extremely annoying and totally wrong for the part, her face never stopped scrunching up and her acting was pretty bad. The rival team is a bit extreme and looked like they were trying too hard to play the villains and their leader got way too much attention with few lines just because she is very hot. Other than that and a few unnecessary tidbits in the movie I had a good time watching it and recommend it to anyone with a light sense of humor.

Two popular high school football jocks (Eric Christian Olsen and Nicholas D'Agosto) decide to go to cheerleading camp in the summer instead of football camp in order to score with the ladies. Their plans go awry when one falls one of the head cheerleaders (Sarah Roemer) and they both find themselves wanting to help the squad win the camp competition.
The purpose of a teen dramadies like this is to entertain and elicit laughs; the great ones avoid too much raunchiness, etc. And offer strong subtexts (like 1995's "Clueless" and 1982's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"). The good news is that "Fired Up" (2009) is surprisingly funny from beginning to end and it does have heartwarming elements. Despite being direct-to-video, it's obvious that a lot of thought and effort was put into the film.
For it to be effective, Olsen and D'Agosto have to work well together and they do. Olsen was 31 during filming and D'Agosto was 28, hardly high school age, and - while they do a good job of appearing high school age - their overall demeanor give 'em away. As for the females, Sarah is striking as Carly and there are quite a few curvaceous beauties, including the brunette cheerleading coach.
I would easily give "Fired Up" a grade of 'A-' if not for some unnecessary coarseness, implied raunch (in other words, there aren't any overtly raunchy scenes) and way too many 'gay'-oriented jokes. These aspects remove it from the realm of greatness, as far as I'm concerned.
The movie runs 90 minutes and was shot in the Los Angeles area.

Honestly, this movie's promos and advertisements don't inspire very high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised about how much I honestly enjoyed this movie. I think the difference between this teen comedy and other more run of the mill teen comedies is the actual love and sincerity behind this one.
The cast also brings the script to life with excellent chemistry, especially between the two mains and the main girl. If not for the good chemistry a lot of the comedy would have been lost in teen movie clichés. They all have great comedic timing and it really makes this movie.
This is a serious 'don't knock it til you try it' movie.

I just saw this flick and I have to say I didn't mind it. I was looking forward to it, but wasn't expecting too much.
Now it didn't blow me away, but it has it's fair share of laughs. I would love to be in the position of the two main lads, at a cheerleading camp with 300 hot girls! Count me in! But alas in reality such an event rarely occurs, so thank god for movies like this where we can pretend that it's real! Most characters were hilarious, especially Dr. Dick (his name is really Rick but he just looks like such a Dick to me). Although I love the lead actors, aren't they a little old for high school? Come to think of it, all the actors and actresses all looked in their late 20's. What's up with that? Overall I enjoyed the movie, but the story progression felt rushed, therefore sacrificing depth in character building. But hey it's just a fun cheerleading movie. Just sit back and enjoy the view :)

I think the promotional abbreviation says it all when it comes to the respect the filmmakers had for their audience.
I guess this film was supposed to be funny, but I somehow missed that. I don't do so well with raunchy, crass teen comedies so I guess I may be a bit biased. Oh, well.
The plot consists of two sexist teen guys (played by two guys in their early 30s!) that decide to skip football camp to go to a cheer leading camp to try and hook up with as many girls as possible. Predictably, one of them falls in love and this turns into a formulaic teen romance film as well: boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy loses girl, boy wins back girl.
The two guys also learn how much they like cheering and stay, despite being the unlikable douche bags they are. Movies like this make me fear for the entertainment industry. So, in conclusion, I'll just say "FU" too.

When i saw this DVD in the videostore, i actually thought this would be just another cheerleading movie. But then i saw Eric Christian Olsen was in it and decided to rent it, i didn't think he would be the type to be in a "Bring it on" movie. I was right, this movie is nothing like Bring it on, that movie is funny but in a totally different way. This movie don't really takes itself serious. Eric Christian Olsen and Nicholas D'Agosto are a great couple, they really made me laugh. The story itself is not that original, just 2 guys who rather go to cheerleading camp instead of football camp so they can 'score' some girls. But the jokes are a lot better then in the average teenage comedy, the fact that both actors were much older then those guys would be in real life didn't even bother me. You can really see the chemistry between both of them. Also Sarah Roemer does a good job, i wasn't really fond of her in Disturbia, but is this picture she was actually funny to. This film is perfect for a night sitting around and having a good laugh.
