What Parents Need to Know
About Fired Up
Parents need to know that this is a review of the PG-13-rated version of the movie and not the unrated DVD. Expect to find even more adult content in the unrated DVD. This crude comedy about two lust-driven teen boys is full of boundary-pushing sex and language content. The main characters are surrounded by -- and happily ogle -- hundreds of girls clad in the shortest of shorts and tiniest of bikinis. Boys are shown naked from both the back and front (private parts are covered by towels, etc. in the latter case). Though actual physical contact is limited to kissing and a few scenes of "grab ass," the characters are constantly talking and thinking about "hooking up." Not surprisingly then, the language can get vulgar and sexist -- and it's also peppered with "s--t" and the like. Underage characters drink, and there's some same-sex kissing and fondling; many of the gay characters are played very stereotypically, though it's all meant to be funny rather than disrespectful.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the consequences of the characters' behavior. Is there any fall-out from their drinking or obsession with sex in the movie? Would there be stronger consequences in the real world?
- How would you describe the filmmakers' attitude toward the boys' behavior? What role does Carly play in clarifying that attitude?
- Unlike in many other sports movies with underdog heroes, the Tigers don't win the cheerleading competition. What does the movie say about winning, losing, and doing your best?

Overall, this was a very funny movie, but I saw the unrated version, and there is a scene of full frontal nudity of a girl and boys. The girl has her breasts shown in a lake, and the boys are seen by their penises and butts. Parents are cautioned for the unrated version.

Very funny movie for teenagers.
I loved this movie. It is very funny. It was quite stereo-typical. The main thing to be concerned about is the sexuality. Although it's not any more raunchy or dirty then any usual teen movie, it is still not appropriate for 12 and under. Some language to be concerned about. Great funny movie for 13+.

Very Funny
This was the first movie i've bought in a while. It is very funny. In the PG-13 one the language doesnt go past the s-word (same with unrated). In the unrated there is more sexual humor and a brief scene of nudity.

Not Your Average Cheerleading Movie!!!!
I thought this movie was very funny! I went to it with my sixteen year old and we had agreat time. I liked how it wasn't an average cheerleading movie. There was a little to much sexual references though.

No, just, no
This is one of the worst movies ever made. I wouldn't even force my worst enemy to watch it. The only thing is movie is about is sex, sex, and more sex. There is a lot of language, there is a ton of commercialism, a phenomenal amount of sex, and this movie projects the wrong ideas onto kids. I never expected this movie to be any good, but this is worse than even I could have imagined. 1 out of 5

I laughed so hard!!!!!
This movie is so funny. Its about 2 high school quarterbacks that are obsessed with girls. They are the 2 players of there shool and when they find out that football camp is going to be in Arizona away from all the cheerleaders they decide that they are going to go to heerleading camp. They go through lots of funny stuff. I recommend this movie for everyone 14 and up. :)

Should have been rated R for raunchy, rank, and ridiculous
o My 13 year old daughter wanted to see this movie the day it came out. Oh my goodness! It should have been rated R for the not so well disguised sexually based scenes and the frequent and blatant homosexual overtures. I regret taking her and should have just walked out. Not worth seeing. If you value your principles you will strike this movie off your list and save your money.
