Feb 25th: Movie Night

Happy 21st birthday shout out to my roomie!

Went to the movies and saw Fired Up! The movie was a lot better than I expected it would be; I never stopped laughing. It's a silly premise (Imagine Stifler from American Pie attending cheer camp with his best friend. That’s Fired Up!) and the plot requires a great deal of suspension of belief, but the one-liners make up for it. That and I noticed a few familiar faces in the movie. The two main characters are played by Nicholas D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen, whom you may have seen as Hunter on The Office and Austin in Not Another Teen Movie, respectively. Also, Molly Simms and Margo Harshman (whom you may remember as Tawny from Even Stevens) appear.


It might have been better if it was given full reign to be rauchy instead of trying to squeeze into the PG13 division, but I definitely recommend giving this one a try. If you're expecting Oscarworthy material, you're not gonna find it here. But if you liked Not Another Teen Movie or American Pie, you might like this flick.

After the movie ended, we went out to the parking lot and saw this kid who looked eerily similar to Christopher Mintz-Plasse. So of course my friend called out to the poor kid, shouting, "I Am McLovin" as we drove away. He was so confused!

We pretty much drove around after that before calling it a night. My friend had never been on a rotary (also called a traffic circle or roundabout) before, so we turned on the radio and I drove around it for a full song. We probably went around it like 20 times. Very dizzying. I wonder if there are laws about that. Hmmmm. Will do research. ;)
