Author Topic: Fired Up Andy Nordberg Film Handler Posts: 4 From: State College, PA Registered: Jan 2009 posted 02-11-2009 09:34 PM                     I saw a special screening this evening, and I was surprised on how I enjoyed the film. By no means is it original but it is certainly entertaining. It is another enjoyable teenage comedy (even though I am not a teenager anymore, I am close enough to enjoy their comedy)  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-29-2009 12:51 PM                        We're playing this now to fill in a spot on the schedule, bottom line. It's a typical high-spirited teen comedy. Sort of a combo of "Dude Where's My Car" and "Bring It On." I don't understand why movies like this always seem to feature songs that are over 20 years old...in this case, "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake, which was recorded before everyone in the movie was born. The movie has a handful of chuckle-and-laugh moments, which is better than you can say for a lot of movies of this type, and (spoiler ahead) for once the 'hero' kids DON'T win the big competition at the end, which was refreshing, so I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 03-29-2009 07:23 PM                     quote: Mike Blakesley in this case, "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake, which was recorded before everyone in the movie was born. And even then, the original version they did of that song is several years older than the one they used for that movie.  |  IP: Logged
