Fired Up's
plot and sub-plots are uninteresting at best.
They don't take seriously the sport of
competitive cheerleading, instead using it as a background filler
for a throwaway dumb-down-dumber teenage skin flick that wouldn't
have mattered if there was an effort to make the whole thing
an out-and-out spoof -- which would have been acceptable.
Most of the jokes hit a brick wall for
not having any punch lines, and some of the actors are almost
twice the age of their characters.
Say no more -- it's just one big train
wreck for me. |
Movies this bad don't really deserve to
be reviewed.
However . . .
It's not clever enough to be a farce or
compelling enough to even qualify as a teenage comedy.
It's male footballers at cheerleading camp
-- with a PG-13 rating?
As bad as it sounds, from start to finish. |
The story is about two high school playboys
who get fired up and decide to skip football camp in order to
join the mostly female cheerleading squad.
The idea is predictable, as the two
young jocks invade the cheerleader camp and try to hook up with
as many hard bodies as possible.
The teen exploitation premise is like
something a porn film maker from the past might have come up
with.
This movie, in my view, doesn't have
any redeeming value, except for some footage of group cheerleading
competition that was impressive.
But not enough to recommend this raunchy
film. |
