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.

Critics Consensus

Propulsive and over-the-top, Bottoms is an instant high school comedy classic that feels both current and nostalgic.

Heartwarming and hilarious, Bottoms updates teen movie tropes with a comedy that'll leave you in stitches if you can handle raunchy humor.

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.

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

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

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

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

A fresh take on the teen sex comedy. A film hasn't made me laugh this much in a long time.

The movie was quirky, fun, had clear satire, and the teenagers looked and acted like teenagers for the most part. Would see again.
