...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....

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.

A markedly generic teen sex comedy.

All spunk and no spark make for a mediocre movie.

Seriously, an R-rating and this would have been a totally different, way better movie.

It sounds like that the kind of thing that would have been right at home with the teen comedies of twenty years ago, or even the brief American Pie-ish revival. But compared to current stuff it's actually kind of quaint.

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.

Fired Up is big on stereotypes (hello, gay Indian guy), overstatement (if you didn't already realise, loud = funny) and borderline homophobia. To paraphrase Repo Man, the longer you watch this, the stupider you might become.

Five, six, seven, eight; Fired Up is not so great.

This aggressively stupid comedy tries to have it both ways, advocating sexual probity while its cameras linger over acres of golden female thighs.

Fired Up is a desperate and vacuous attempt at a teen comedy that not only lacks laughs, but even the gross-out moments and shameless nudity used by other such genre offerings.

Clichéd execution, paper-thin characters.

Fired Up is cinema as abuse, and its chief victim is any paying audience. To have shelled out cash for this witless farrago of sub-Porky's japery and straight-to-bargain-bin acting would be the airborne spin that broke the cheerleader's back.

A puerile, remedial class version of Wedding Crashers.

Allan Hunter Daily Express (UK) Jul 10, 2009

Fired Up will never win any prizes for wit or originality. The jokes are obvious, the plot is predictable and the whole formulaic film feels like a gentler throwback to racy Eighties teen comedies like Porky's.

Alistair Harkness Scotsman Jul 10, 2009 1/5

A misogynistic American teen gross-out comedy. Celebrating male promiscuity as a rite-of-passage while demonising girls for sleeping around, it never even attempts to punish its protagonists for their horn-dog ways.

Ultimately let down by obnoxious characters, a half-hearted plot and a criminal lack of actual nudity.
