Fired Up!

Obviously Fired Up is not a film that should be taken seriously, but what is so great about it is that it doesn't take itself seriously. It's terribly quotable, and a lot of fun to watch. Yes, I'm predispositioned to the inclusion of a lesbian character, but the writers are careful that we are not laughing AT her but with her. It's not a homophobic film, though admittedly, it is problematic at times. By the end credits, where the laughs aren't over yet, it's a solid and satisfying film and worth my seeing it TWICE. Yes, Twice. what? there were CHEERLEADERS!
