Critics Consensus
Propulsive and over-the-top, Bottoms is an instant high school comedy classic that feels both current and nostalgic.
Audience Says
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. 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 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 Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews Hilarious, over-the-top, bloody, and cathartic in a really twisted way. Rated: 4.5/5 Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Katie Hogan She Likes Movies Bottoms is that film you’ve wanted to see but didn’t know you needed, we were all due this ridiculous teen comedy.

Greg hilarious fun movie. not for everyone but I really liked it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Robert I think this was one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Nothing made sense Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review Richard liked all the dialog, fav was hazel. :) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review Kayln This movie was funny and out of the box. Had sentimental moments and really out of left field moments. The sound quality in my theater was pretty poor but otherwise it was great. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis 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.
