I think the best way to see this film is to know they had fun making it, producing it and to get something out of it like the commentary says: "...they will be studying this for years to come at USC film school..."

Let's get all of the hate mail out of the way. Yes - the leads are all over 30, yes - it is another dang cheer film, yes - it has nothing new to add to the comedy plate this year, and so on. But I still got some good laughs out of it and plenty of fit people to look at. The main thing that struck me was the chemistry between the two main actors, they were actually believable and funny. The supporting cast had some great moments, especially John Michael Higgins as Coach Keith and Philip Baker Hall as Coach Byrnes - they both showed awesome chops in doing their corny roles.

The film quality was excellent, the sound was a fun 5.1 and the impressive long-takes actually looked good. Whether you love or hate this film, that one take when the crew arrives at camp showcasing the 178 ladies on the steps - was impressive. The unrated is only a few seconds longer and contains some nice (and natural) upper body nudity in the night swimming sequence.

The special features give this 2.5 star film the last 1.5. There is a 15 minute making-of, a 7 minute clip on the "stunting" involved, and 8 minutes of unrated outtakes - which if anything are hilarious because of those damn peacocks. The quick press junket shows Eric Olsen in meltdown mode and the commentary with the director and two leads is worth it. Even if to hear little tidbits on how the main cast got each other sick from the kissing scenes or how everything was actually filmed in LA and not in Hinsdale.

Plenty of people hate this film, but I fell into the category of liking it and laughing. I suppose it will be mandatory for the cheer fans out there, but this will actually keep the guys interested also.

This one is a good one! I watched it on a plane and had to buy it so I could watch it properly. If you like 'Bring it on', this is a must-see.

Ever since Bring It On, we have had a crapload of films about cheerleading. Now, each film has basically the same themes and vocabulary and often times the same jokes bleeding through it, but there have been some pretty damn good cheer films. Most notably, the first Bring It On movie and the third movie in the series, Bring It On: All or Nothing, but most of the time, when you see a comedy that looks as generic as Fired Up, you will pass on it.

But just wait. Fired Up is filled with cliches, it's a comedy that you will be able to figure out what is going to happen very early on, and the plot never really develops into much and you won't care about the characters at all. Despite all that, I managed to give this film an average three stars. How could I do that? Well, the movie is still fun to watch despite its flaws, and there are quite a few laughs to be had.

The main characters are funny and fun to watch on screen, as are all the hot cheerleaders of course. It's definitely not a groundbreaking film, but Fired Up is still worth watching.

People over analyze everything. Its a movie about two football guys who go to cheer camp to get girls. One Boy falls for a girl but both guys learn a valuable lesson. It is funny, simple and perfect. A great movie to watch with extremely funny parts especially when they watch Bring It On. Its a fun movie, thats it.

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.

I was not expecting a lot when I rented this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was a light and very funny comedy and I highly recommend it for a fun hour and a half.

This isn't your basic cheerleading movie. This movie pokes fun at cheerleading and show 2 guys doing what ever man dreams of.. pulling cheerleader after cheerleader at a cheer camp. It's a little cliche and pretty predictable but the different adventures that these 2 guys get into within the camp are awesome..

Was really looking forward to the digital copy but when trying to download it itunes informed me it was the wrong code. still glad to have the movie on blu-ray.

Okay, this movie is not meant to be Oscar material. But, it is very funny and the chemistry between the two, lead actors is wonderful. I am ordering it right away!

I've been out of high school for a while, but I'm happy to see that nothing changes. We all need the jocks, the geeks, the everyday students to show us just exactly what to expect from life. And you better be able to laugh at yourself and others, too! Under all the bravado from the kids in this movie, it is easy to see the softness underneath the brass, and the inevitable fondness the develops all around.
