Entertainment Weekly
The teensploitation premise is like something a porn filmmaker from the '70s might have come up with. But Fired Up! has one added quirk: The script, credited to Freedom Jones, is a riot of tongue-twisting ironic sleaze -- it sounds like the first (and last) collaboration between Diablo Cody and Artie Lange. - 50
Chicago Tribune
I didn't half-mind Fired Up, but half a mind is more than it deserves. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Passable in its efficiency, Fired Up! is less offensive than it might have been while also managing to be staggeringly uninspired. - 40
Austin Chronicle
If you loved "Wedding Crashers," then, for all intents and purposes, you've already seen Fired Up – because this new movie borrows from the 2005 Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson hit with such utter shamelessness, you have to wonder if royalty checks are already in the mail. - 38
Boston Globe
Fired Up feels like everybody's first time doing anything - writing, acting, directing, cheerleading. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
It's like being trapped for an hour-and-a-half in a pound full of yappy puppies. - 25
Chicago Sun-Times
Here is a movie that will do for cheerleading what "Friday the 13th" did for summer camp. - 10
Village Voice
We're light years away from "Animal House," sure, but who ever thought we would long for the richer, funnier dignity of "American Pie?"
