FIRE UP (PG-13 for partial nudity, profanity, crude & sexual ongoing content)

t's perfect for kids who need nothing original to please them - just more testosterone-laden, juvenile humor that satisfied with an occasional chuckle - easily forgotten once leaving the theatre.
Nicholas D'Agoso & Eric Christian) - two 30-something actors try (not too successfully) to portray Shawn & Nick, high school football heroes who join up with dozens of lovely coeds at their cheer leading camp, certainly not to improve their athletic skills. The camp is dreamland for them; the sexual promises abound in this wriggling hoard of bumptious females in scanty costumes, bursting out of their still more scanty tops; but the guys override their primal desires (at least now & then) to help bring conviction to their efforts to become winning cheerleaders, since they now agree, as one girl says, they are so bad, "You could take a dump in your pants and be better."

That kind of scintillating dialog from writer Freedom Jones never gets any better; his characters continue with witticisms, like, "Word of advice; do not poop where you eat," or "She's got a great set of lumps."

All the stock characters, besides the two drooling guys and the girls they chase, are here: the kid sister who knows all the ropes, the effeminate houseboy who indulges enthusiastically in his specialities, pairs of girls with special sexual preferences, the snobbish college student competing for the girl being eyed by Shawn (as if there weren't a couple hundred other hottie alternatives), the unresponsive head cheerleader who becomes the sexual focus for Nick, the nasty team providing stiff competition, etc.

Same for the situations: the guys & gals work hard during the day, but have great fun after hours (a swim in underwear or less is the key event), as the two jocks win, then lose, then get the girls of their choice and learn a good lesson in responsibility. Even the homosexuals and lesbians are given their share of success, while all the nasties, male & female, get their come-uppance.

On the same uplifting level, plenty of raucous, screaming tunes grace the sound track with titles, like "Dick Head" - all sure winners.
