Fired Up may not be a classic cheerleading movie, but it's a cheerleading movie and that means I and probably every other cheerleader has seen it and critiqued it for its representation of the cheerleading tradition. Here are just some of the thoughts we, as cheerleaders, have watching this film.

1. Wow. Five minutes in and already our first illegal stunt.

2. Who the heck goes to a three-week cheerleading camp?

3. Nobody actually calls stunts by all those technical names.

4. And why isn’t their coach going with them?

5. Okay, all these girls with tattoos are going to have to cover them up.

6. Why are mascots at cheer camp?

7. Well, those are the nicest bunks I’ve ever seen at a cheer camp.

8. They seriously just do an introduction and then go to bed? Ha!

9. You do not get this much free time. And if you do, you spend it practicing.

10. Okay, why do people think cheerleaders live off of salads? We need protein, people!

11. Since when do you get to drive off with your boyfriend at cheer camp?

12. They’re seriously staying up to skinny dip when they have to get up at five the next morning?

13. They never work on tumbling or jumps at this camp.

14. Finally, time for the competition.

15. This is all so illegal.

16. Okay, you can hardly breathe during a routine, let alone talk.

17. Oh, lord, the “Fountain of Troy” (that’s not a real thing, in case anyone didn’t know).

18. Okay, this doesn’t look as impossible as I thought it would.

19. And I was wrong.

20. Oh my god, did they just say back flip. Cheerleaders do not say back flip.

21. That was not a triple “back flip”. That was a double back to a tuck. Jeez, were no cheerleaders working on this movie.

22. Whatever, it’s still one of my faves.
