Fired Up. This is a tough one to talk about. First off, my wife rented it on a whim. Secondly, I don't know if I've ever seen a preview for it, but she got it anyway. It's about 2 horny high school dudes who skip football camp to go to cheerleading camp in order to score with tons of chicks. I know. Oscar worthy.

The first half was horrid. The main characters tried way to hard to deliver one-liner after one-liner. In the guise of humor, they shed a negative light on sex-craved teens everywhere. That being said, once they got to cheer camp the script mellowed out a little and actually started to be funny.

I love the fact that Eric Christian Olsen (The Last Kiss; Dumb and Dumberer) is 31-years-old and can still play a high schooler. John Michael Higgins (Best in Show and the recent DirectTV ads) added some seasoned comedic timing by way of dry humor. And in the end, I was able to find merit in the overall experiece, despite the fact there wasn't any nudity. Bottom line: The first half sucked but the second half was pretty hilarious.
