Hello my dear & faithful readers! I'm sure that you're all aware of my deep, eternal love of the bad teen movie genre. And on my most recent dragon venture with AmandaB we redboxed what could only be described as the greatest bad teen movie of our times: FIRED UP!
The general plot is such as this: two star football player jock types who never double dip (so to speak) with the ladies, decide to abandon football camp ship & head on over to cheer camp so they can get to bumping & grinding at the all you can eat chearleader buffet (affectionately equated with the Olive Garden's breadstick basket within the film).
Within 5 minutes, any lover of the teen movie can figure out how these two dashing dudes will develop. Mr. Brunette Smart Guy will fall for the head cheerleader of his own team. Mr. Blond Surfer Deusch will meet some older hottie cheerleader. The boys will end up helping the cheerleaders achieve a monumental victory at the end of camp cheer competition.
So much potential for failure! And yet... every moment was pitch perfect. Right down to the creepily dirty younger sister & the ever-so-tongue-in-(ahem)-cheek dialogue that bore just the right amount of meta-awareness to understand exactly what was going on: cornball comedy. I mean, as Mr. Brunette Smart Guy will tell you: You have to risk it to get the biscuit. And biscuits we have, my friends. Biscuits we have.
