Shawn (Nicholas D'Agosto) and Nick (Eric Christian Olsen) are top scorers on the Ford High School football teamboth on and off the field. When they hatch a scheme to trade their footballs for pom poms and join the school’s most beautiful girls at cheer camp, the new team members actually give the girls’ historically awful cheer squad a chance at success. And when Shawn falls for the head cheerleader (Sarah Roemer), the boys must learn some new moves and unleash their inner spirit to prove their intentions before the all-important cheer competition finals.
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 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. 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.
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. 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. 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?
