By CHRISTY LEMIRE

It would be news if “Fired Up!” weren't moronic and adolescent.
A comedy about two horny high school football players who infiltrate cheerleading camp to score women couldn't possibly be anything else. It's also — as you would imagine — rude and crude, until it reaches its predictable and disingenuously sweet conclusion.
| FIRED UP! |
 Director: Will Gluck Cast: Nicholas D’Agosto, Eric Christian Olsen, Sarah Roemer, Molly Sims, Annalynne McCord, Philip Baker Hall, John Michael Higgins Rating: Rating: PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, partial nudity, language and some teen partying Running time: 90 minutes |
