FIRED UP (or F.U. for short) is built on the infallible comedic concept of two randy high-school football stars (Nicholas D'Agosto of HEROES and Eric Christian Olsen of LICENSE TO WED) who lie their way into a cheerleader summer camp (instead of the football camp where they belong). The movie's aims are obvious: push for maximum sleaze, raunch, and over-the-top hilarity with the assurance that the boys will learn some valuable lessons, fall in love for real, and even get in some good cheers. It's AMERICAN PIE meets BRING IT ON, and there's nothing wrong with that if the choreography is right--and it is.
The cast is surprisingly good as well, with Sarah Roemer (DISTURBIA) and Molly Sims (THE BENCHWARMERS) lending charm and good sportsmanship as the "lucky" girls who eventually reach the boys where it counts (in the heart). Philip Baker Hall (HARD EIGHT) lends his welcome, craggy face as the foul-mouthed football coach, and instructing the cheerleaders with a special sort of zeal is A MIGHTY WIND's John Michael Higgins. It's the first time directing for Will Gluck (THE LOOP) and he keeps the gags flying fast enough to cover any loose ends.

A teen romantic comedy that's heavier on the comedy than romance and has a few great lines.

Worth A Watch
I read a few reviews before watching this movie, a lot of them were insulting the story line. Clearly, these people either don't know a good teen comedy ... read more »

Weak
The out-takes were amusing in places but this was a real cringe-fest. I only rented as I thought the lead was good in Final Destination 5, otherwise I'd not... read more »
Okay, maybe three out of five is a generous score for a crude teen sex comedy that thinks “F.U.” stands for funny – I should probably warn you it scores 3.1 out of ten on the aggregator site metacritic.com and 27 % on Rotten Tomatoes, so maybe my standards are way out of line. Put it down to low expectations and the mild shock that Fired Up actually made me laugh. Several times, actually. Here’s the pitch. High school jocks Shawn (Nicholas D’Agosto) and Nick (Eric Read more
