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.

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.
