Review: Fired Up

Fired Up (2009)

Director: Will Gluck

Ok I didn't want to start with been negative but geuss what? I'm going to be Negative! I'm going to sound really shallow but the way i found out about this film and kinda the reason i wanted to watch it was the mixture of Sarah Roemer (Disturbia, The Event) and Heather Morris (Glee). Turns out Morris has a none speaking role in two scenes which is a shame because Fired Up could really do with her particular brand of comic style or at least some comic style ... The problem is the film is sold as a Teen Comedy bringing to mind images of American Pie and Fired Up is more Band Camp than the orgional. Infact Fired Up mays well be called Band Camp part 2 :/ Roemer herself has gone well down hill since her last outing in Disturbia, where she was at least a slightly memorable love interest, the problem is that is all she is a love interest, not even a character just an object of lust. Unfortunatly i cannot fully critise the film as the finale leaves you wondering what could of been, helped with an Avril Lavigne soundtrack to go with it! However you know you've just watched a bad comedy when only one quote comes to mind just minutes after you've watched it :/

3 out of 10
