Fired Up

Fired Up tried to be funny. So although a lot of the gags didn’t “land”, and the leads look old enough to be teachers in a high school, rather than students, this gets an “A” for effort. Extra credit goes to the music supervisor who, to create a soundtrack for the ubiquitous villain, chose some of the most annoying songs of the last 15 years, mining some of the movie’s biggest laughs. If only it was rated “R” so there could be more sex. That should be the point of a movie like this, right?
