Originally I thought, due to the posters, that this movie was called 'FU' and after watching I thought "What an appropriate title it has, for its unfortunate viewers." OK, 'Fired Up!' isn't really that bad. It's just not good. The jokes can be seen 5 minutes before they show up, the movie's plot is as predictable as a Presidential election and they ask us to suspend our disbelief way too far. We are to believe that these two fast-talking BFF guys have been with every single girl in their high school, and what's more, every single girl there apparently is so incredibly dumb for falling for any one of the utterly lame and transparent lines these guys give out. Sure, I found myself chuckling at maybe 3 (out of hundreds) in the entire movie. I just can't believe the girls are this stupid. Lo and behold, the movie introduces one (ONE) female that doesn't fall for their fake charm and that foreshadowed storyline is so painfully obvious, I was laughing. At the film, not with. Two (very straight – trust me, we're told this dozens of times) football guys, who's every waking second involves thoughts of and/or activities with the opposite sex, decide to ditch the game to go to cheerleader camp so they can continue, well, the same. While there, comedy ensues! Okay, not really, but if you haven't seen this hundredth-time over sitcom act, then maybe it is funny to you. And speaking of which, despite this labeled as "Unrated," I barely saw or heard anything above a mild-R rating. This was tamer than even the roughly imitated 'American Pie.' I will give the film credit for not entirely gay bashing, even showing a slight bit of acceptance towards the end, despite all the countless gay stereotypes.
