Fired Up!

Movies are always enjoyable to go see. Fired Up! looked like just another girly cheerleading movie, but I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be like that. I loved the spunky personality the movie seemed to have to it. Through out the entire movie there was always an energy running through it. The home cheer team really have a quirky feel before the two guys come along and all of a sudden tremendous improvement starts to happen. You can tell that this movie is really supposed to make you laugh with the dramatic things that happen. Every scene had something funny to enjoy.

It starts out with these two guys who are big football stars at their school. They want to get all the ladies though and they don't get that by running around and tackling men on the football field. Soon they think up an idea to join the cheerleading team. They are strong guys that could really benefit the team. One of them has a prodigy sister who helps them with cheers and tricks. In the summer instead of going to a grueling football training camp they go to the cheer camp. Here they meet all the other teams that are training and competing against them. The team at their school has never really been anything amazing but with these new additional guys on their team they start to become something. Just like any movie there is always a rival team to beat. The way they are presented though gives you something to laugh at even though they seem better then the team that you want to root for.

This movie was a very enjoyable movie and kept me laughing. The main guys are really where it all revolves around. Their characters are entertaining to see interact with one another. Also the main cheerleading team all have their silly characters within them. I think this would be one of those movies that would be easy to watch again because you can always pick up on new funny things that you did not see the first time around. There are many little things that are slipped into different scenes in the movie. The two guys stay with a bunch of other guys and one of them starts to have a connection with another cheer guy living there. He just thinks it is a great friendship but soon comes to find out that the cheer guy is actually thinking that they have another kind of connection.

Fired Up! was a really funny movie. It was one of those movies to just sit back and enjoy the hilarious humor put into it. Even though it kind of seems like a chic cheerleading movie, there was plenty of masculine humor. I do think this movie was more geared toward the younger crowd though and not really a family movie.
