No prizes for wit and originality in Fired Up

By Derek Malcolm, Evening Standard  10.07.09
 
Fired Up

Fired Up: stars Nicholas D'Agosto and Sarah Roemer

Shawn (Nicholas D’Agosto) and Nick (Eric Christian Olsen) are high-school jokers who join an all-girl cheerleading team in this mainstream comedy — as vapid an exercise as any to have emerged from Hollywood this year.

There is a moral of sorts (seduction is a boorish exercise) and an attempt to paint the gay blades with a jokey lack of rancour.

But, anonymously directed by Will Gluck, this is not made for anyone with more than a sprinkling of intelligence.
