FIRED UP FOR REAL

I'm sorry but we're still going to have a hard time talking about this movie without just sort of keyboard smashing all over the place. BEST MOVIE OF 2009 hands down. Oscar season, Shmoscar shmeason. Fired Up was Bring It On meets Judd Apatow, with even more jokes about getting laid. And oh my God the asshole boyfriend oh my GOD. brb gathering my wits to make this coherent. No, I'm sorry, I can't do that. I just want to say every single person needs to see this. Twice. Three times even. Oh my God. It may have only earned 88 points, but it earned a million points in our hearts. THERE WAS A WHOLE SCENE WITH A CROWD OF CHEERLEADERS WATCHING AND QUOTING BRING IT ON. SO META.

Criteria:

  • No points for everyone in the movie being white and rich
  • 10 points for pursuing a bunch of super hot love interests
  • 10 points for striving to a) not be in last place and b) get some pussy
  • 10 points for a mid-movie setback complete with a SPOILER ALERT talking fat belly
  • 10 points for TWO training montages
  • 10 points for killing two birds with one stone by SPOILER ALERT getting kicked off the team because they were planning on leaving
  • 10 points for so much sexy teamwork
  • 10 points for having a national competition

Bonus points:

  • 1 point for a skill brawl of sorts
  • 1 point for the most awesome asshole boyfriend EVER
  • 1 point for a lack of parent presence, which we're going to assume means they are unsupportive, but also we just want to give Fired Up all the points in the world
  • 1 point for us remembering that there was a celebrity cameo, but we can't remember who it was. But we just found out that Masi Oka (YATA!) was in the eagle costume, so we're going to count it.
  • 9 points for all of the love interests being SUPER HOT YOU GUYS
  • 5 points for a funny credit sequence
