In this high-school comedy, two fast-talking, promiscuous jocks avoid going to their school football camp and instead volunteer to spend three weeks at cheerleaders' camp where they'll be the only four straight guys among 300 nubile girls. I initially disliked the two preening heroes and I should loathe this film, yet I ended up rather enjoying it. The attitude to homosexuality is unusually open, the girls are attractively lacking in customary coyness, and no one appears to have taken those Bush-era declarations of chastity. The camp's commandant leads the girls in chanting "FU!" (supposedly short for "Fired Up"). His attractive wife has a striking resemblance to Sarah Palin and throws herself at one of the young heroes.
Five, six, seven, eight; Fired Up is not so great. It's about two jocks (the curiously likable Nicholas D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen) who enrol in cheerleader camp to score some chicks.
Never mind that (at 29 and 31 respectively) these performers are far too old to pass for hormonal high-schoolers; their bright-eyed dedication to the cause is impressive.
Before long, they are pitching metaphorical pyramids in their shorts, tossing themselves senselessly in the air and catching who-knows-what at the local swimming hole.
