Movie Description
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., Football stars crash a cheerleader camp in this retro-raunchy high-school sex comedy., In this comedy, Eric Christian Olsen (NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE) and Nicholas D'Agosto (HEROES) star as unmotivated football stars who switch to cheerleading when they realize they can go to camp with 300 girls. FIRED UP also stars Sarah Roemer (DISTRUBIA), Annalynne McCord (90210), and the always hilarious John Michael Higgins (FRED CLAUS).
Industry Reviews
"FIRED UP! offers certifiably silly humor surrounding the antics of a pair of high school football jocks who go to cheerleading camp....Nicholas D'Agosto is likeable as Shawn..."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (02/20/2009)
"Nicholas D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen make a hilarious pair; If you're under the age of 25 you'll like it."
Premiere - Premiere Staff (02/19/2009)
"The script, credited to Freedom Jones, is a riot of tongue-twisting ironic sleaze -- it sounds like the first (and last) collaboration between Diablo Cody and Artie Lange."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (02/27/2009)
