Unsurprisingly, “Fired Up!” is not able to shoot further than other moronic teenage cheerleader flicks.

 

A comedy about a couple of high school football players with a healthy sexual appetite who gain access to cheerleading camp to drag several women into bed could not possibly claim more. “Fired Up!” is also, evidently, uncouth and unsophisticated and depicts rude scenes until it arrives at its humdrum and deceitfully syrupy finale.

 

The only thing that is startling, however, is that within this foundation lies a line of scatterbrained absurdity that makes the whole venture more unobjectionable than it should be. Impersonating a couple of best friends and teammates, Nicholas D’Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen are sometimes special, since they are sharp and spoken, while the manner in which they glance off each other with a hilarious channel of communication often offers the film an appealing oomph.

 

Throughout his feature debut, longtime television writer and producer Will Gluck directs these horny adolescents in outstandingly ordinary style, but even he would not be able to crumple the humorist skills of John Michael Higgins, who plays the cheer camp’'s Coach Keith, “the skipper of this spirit ship.” Edie McClurg and Philip Baker Hall put in a brief appearance, while “90210” star AnnaLynne McCord roars and frowns her way through her position as the camp’s compulsory chief villain.

 

In spite of the fact that “Fired Up!” is not as distasteful as it could have been, but it stands out as stupendously insipid.
