High-school football stars Shawn Colfax (Nicholas D'Agosto) and Nick Brady (Eric Christian Olsen) are dreading another summer at football camp, then Nick hatches a brilliant scheme: to enroll at cheerleading camp instead. Soon the pair are surrounded by beautiful girls, but the boys may have to revise their playbook when Shawn falls for Carly (Sarah Roemer), the head cheerleader who sees right through the guys' scheme.

Critics Consensus

Though not as raunchy or juvenile as the average teen comedy, Fired Up is also not as funny.

All spunk and no spark make for a mediocre movie.

This is not made for anyone with more than a sprinkling of intelligence.

A charmless, witless, lumbering mess. Almost nothing could redeem this lame comedy.

3/5

...has an easy charm to the sunny escapades shown here; it’s rare for a sex comedy to treat the macho posturings of the boys with disrespect, and Will Gluck’s film actually has more respect for women that the genre normally allows....

5/10

Boasts a remarkable amount of clever and inventive sexual metaphors, and a few eccentric characters that mask the lackluster, stereotypical illustrations.

It's hard to figure out, then, what went wrong.

Extremely funny and clever humor. Silly plays on words that might go over your head the first time watching it, but after the second time you will really appreciate all the sly and underhanded jokes that can be found everywhere in this movie. Very well casted and has a playful tone, with a slight message of teen love and feelings.

Worst movie I've ever watched :( or started to watch but turned of half way because it was terrible.

If this is a satire then it is an incredibly clever, funny movie. It intentionally soaks itself in stereotypes and breaks the third wall as the characters question the numerous clichés that the movie revels in. Dedicated cast, likeable characters, and great soundtrack. But judging by the horrible reviews, I'm getting the impression that this movie wasn't intentionally a satire. If you watch it from the perspective of "this movie satirizes the stereotypes and clichés in teen movies," then you will really enjoy this.

Good movie. It's clichéd, formulaic, misogynistic and cheesy, but it's still a lot of fun thanks to some quick-witted humor and great performances from its leads, D'Agosto and Olsen.
