'Fired Up!' DVD
This is an energetic cheerleading comedy where shouting the initial letters of the two words in the title is a running joke. The story centers on two horny high school football players, Shawn (Nicholas D'Agosto) and Nick (Eric Christian Olsen). They go to a cheerleading camp with the goal of hooking up with lots of nubile, bouncy girls who look cute in skimpy outfits. But Shawn starts to fall for head cheerleader Carly (Sarah Roemer), and Nick becomes smitten with a coach's wife (Molly Sims). There's a mean girl (AnnaLynne McCord) and a cheerleading competition.More »'Gran Torino' DVD
