The word "shameless" does not begin to describe Fired Up, a sneaky, self-aware teen comedy about two high-school jocks who join the cheerleading squad so they can score with girls at cheer camp. Naturally, they find themselves starting to care and end up committed to helping their squad win the big competition at the end. But while trotting through the formula paces, Fired Up manages to subvert the cliches of teen movies while fulfilling them at the same time. It's really kind of genius. Fusing the smart sassiness of Bring It On with the hyperactive self-referentiality of Dude, Where's My Car?, Fired Up wallows in the luscious flesh of its cast (both male and female) while pushing the horndogginess to ridiculous heights; it casts an absurdist eye on cheerleading while making savvy use of sports-movie plot devices; it starts out with the rigidly defined sex roles of high school, but by the end has mocked masculinity, femininity, homophobia, and furries(!). Nicholas D'Agosto (Heroes) and Eric Christian Olsen (Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd) play the jocks with just the right mixture of likability and preposterousness. Also featuring Sarah Roemer (Disturbia), swimsuit model Molly Sims (Las Vegas), AnnaLynne McCord (90210), and the ever-dependable John Michael Higgins (A Mighty Wind, Best In Show). --Bret Fetzer

Believe me when I saw the commercials for this film I was like "pass", but when it came out on dvd i saw it on netflix and was surprise how good and funny it was and it didn't look like one of those stupid low budget movies,fired up is simple two guys in high school go to cheerleading camp to hook up with as many girls as possible in what results to lots of jokes and crazy cheerleading and thats about it believe this is still a good movie to watch,you'll have fun with it till the very end.

 GOOD CAST WITH LOTS OF ENERGY MAKE THIS PREDICTABLE TEEN MOVIE WORK! 3 1/2 STARS! December 8, 2009

While there is nothing new about this predictable teen movie, the cast keeps it from becoming stale. This film has a lot of energy and while if is certainly a formula film, it does have its charm. Olsen is kind of like a hybrid of Jim Carrey and David Spade and the two romantic leads have good chemistry, but considering the genre this film is surprisingly restrained with very little raunchy humor or nudity! If you like 'Bring It On' you will probably get some laughs from this better than average teen movie.
agreeably goofy teen comedy December 6, 2009

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.
How Do You Spell Fired Up....F U! November 30, 2009

"Fired Up" is a cheerleading comedy that stars Eric Christian Olsen as Nick Brady & Nicholas D' Agosto as Shawn Colfax as they play two very athletic "macho-wacho" football players who decide to skip football camp for a summer of paradise at a high school cheerleading camp.
After scoring chicks all year long, Nick (Olsen) & Shawn (D' Agosto) decide to skip football camp for the summer to join their high school cheerleaders for 3 wonderful weeks at cheerleading camp in order to score with more chicks. Once they arrive at camp, both guys are able to score with the majority of the girls there until Shawn eventually falls for the head cheerleader, Carly (Sarah Roemer).
While Shawn is trying to win the affection of Carly's from her undeserving current boyfriend, Rick (David Walton), Nick is trying his hardest to score with the head cheerleading coach Diora. During all this mess, the cheerleading team is trying to figure out how not to come in last place again. They soon figure out the only way to not come in last place anymore is to pull off the most difficult cheer move ever, "The Fountain Of Troy".
After the 3 weeks come to an end, Nick is ready to leave camp and go home but Shawn rather stay because he really wants to win not only the cheer competition but also Carly's love. Being the great friend he his, Nick decides to stay with Shawn at the camp.
As the movie comes to a close, Shawn gets the girl and the team is able to pull off "The Fountain Of Troy" which prohibits the them from coming in last place again (19th to be exact). Also, Nick is able to hook up with Diora so in the end everyone is happy.
Even though the movie is more on the corny and stupid side, "Fired Up" is a movie that is funny and worth a watch if comedy is your thing. I enjoy this movie very much and I definitely recommend this movie at the appropriate and reasonable price.
