BOTTOMS, a refreshingly unique raunchy comedy, focuses on two girls, PJ and Josie, who start a fight club as a way to lose their virginities to cheerleaders. Their bizarre plan works. The fight club gains traction and soon the most popular girls in school are beating each other up in the name of self-defense. But PJ and Josie find themselves in over their heads and in need of a way out before their plan is exposed.

Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Real-life friends Sennott and Edebiri are harmonious in ways that relieve them of the need to land flat-out punchlines. Instead, they just sweat funny out of their pores. Rated: 4/5 Nov 6, 2023 Full Review Linda Marric The Jewish Chronicle Smart and very silly. Rated: 3/5 Nov 6, 2023 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Even if the scattershot plotting doesn’t quite hold together, there’s a wayward energy to the picture and a barbed sense of mischief. Rated: 3/5 Nov 5, 2023 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal The time-tested arc of the 1980s high school sex comedy gets a good yank on its ear in this uproariously funny hyper-pop spin on the subgenre that also sets its sights on America's ritualized embrace of sporting violence. Rated: 4/5 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy It might not quite deserve a spot at the head of the class alongside 2019’s Booksmart, but as a similar look at two unpopular high school girls seeking acceptance, Bottoms makes the grade. Rated: 3/4 Jun 15, 2025 Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk Like its most enduring high-school predecessors, Bottoms is at its best in its smaller moments, its throwaway lines and when it gives its characters time to bond. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Greg hilarious fun movie. not for everyone but I really liked it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Austin M A fresh take on the teen sex comedy. A film hasn't made me laugh this much in a long time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review LaShae The movie was quirky, fun, had clear satire, and the teenagers looked and acted like teenagers for the most part. Would see again. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Jeeves This movie was hilarious and so fun. Off-beat and great.
