Three Wise Men

Fired Up – Unrated

I really didn’t have anything to do this weekend so I figured that I can go and see a stupid comedy and compare the good old days of comedy with the current example of the “art”. Teen comedy is really not my movie genre, although I have seen some examples where I laughed my pants off. And since it promised 2 guys and 300 girls I thought that there could be some potential for good evening.

Movie was directed by Will Gluck?!? Story is simple. Two high school jocks Shawn Colfax, played by Nicholas D’Agosto and Nick Brady played By Eric Christian Olsen decide to ditch their football summer camp for cheer leaders summer camp. Now this should be funny, right?!? The plan was simple. Just bribe baby sister to convince her cheer team captain Carly played by Sarah Roemer and we are on board. Guys actually pull it off and they cheer away to the camp. Will they succeed and find their way ?

Well if you have not figured it out yet, the rest of the film is full of chliches with predictable story, emerging actors and director. Don’t expect too much only a light entertainment, some interesting jokes which are less than funny.

I give this movie 3 of 10.

Mainly because I am a guy and there were some interesting  shoots in the unrated version of the movie, which are basically all the highlights I got from it. If you still want to see the movie, watch the trailer and well envision the rest.
