Bottoms Ratings & Reviews
- SpanktacularMarch 29, 2025Lesbian Superbad.
- neuroparadox3d agoThe classic high school underdogs/horny teens/liar-revealed story told from an interesting and unique perspective...holy is it great 😊 Surprisingly and, sometimes, frighteningly relatable tbqh... and, for context, I'm a middle-aged, straight, white male (Picture: a REDLETTERMEDIA type 🤣) Love it, check it out! ❤️✅
- Philip CativoJuly 20, 2025Great premise that unfortunately suffers from some bad writing and sloppy execution. Good performances all around but ultimately fails from a clichéd third act.
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025Massive Money Lynch bias here 💙💚💙💚, but Marshawn steals every scene he’s in, especially his impressive monologue. He’s never not hilarious when he’s on screen in anything. Not to take away too much from Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri, because both are fantastic. Starts off like a classic high school comedy, but takes some wild left turns in the end. Feels like an instant classic. This was so much fun in a packed house.
- youstinaaJanuary 28, 2025Genuinely one of my favorite comedies to come out of the 2020s. 12/10 humor. The cast is incredible together & their ensemble of neverending laughter will make you want to watch this over & over & over again. Highly recommend!
- jackmeatMay 25, 2025My quick rating - 6.2/10. So, Bottoms has been loitering in my watchlist like an uninvited drama kid at a varsity football party. I finally sat down to see what all the queer chaos was about, and what I witnessed was part Fight Club, part Bring It On, and part "what the hell did I just watch?" It’s not horror (for once), but it might haunt certain high school cliques forever. The movie stars Rachel Sennott (who also co-wrote it) as PJ, a self-absorbed teen with a mission: seduce a cheerleader. Her partner in crime is Josie (Ayo Edebiri), slightly less unlikable but still onboard with the plan to kickstart a fake feminist self-defense club that somehow spirals into an all-out brawl-palooza of misguided girl power and misplaced hormones. Imagine if two horny outcasts tried to stage a revolution and accidentally got a bunch of teenage girls to start pile-driving each other in gym class. That’s Bottoms, OK, part of it. Now, here’s where it gets wild (and dumb, but in a lovable way): the football team wears full pads everywhere like they’re allergic to jeans. The cheerleaders? Let’s just say, Sennott didn’t even try to give them a brain cell to share. Their biggest moment is a non-sexy, wet t-shirt-adjacent pep rally scene that’s less "wow" and more "why?" Somehow, every single character in the movie ends up being more likable than PJ. If that was a creative choice, bravo. If not, someone needs to check on Sennott’s high school yearbook—there’s some serious unresolved angst pouring out of this script. If she had friends, they're all blocking her now. The comedy does slap, but it slaps like a school bus hitting a clown car. It’s chaotic, sometimes tone-deaf, but when the punches fly (literally), it’s genuinely funny. Marshawn Lynch steals scenes as the only adult in sight—clearly confused, likely high, and definitely the MVP. You’ll ask yourself: Who is running this school? The answer is “nobody,” and that’s the joke. Oh, and there’s not a cell phone in sight. Either this takes place in some bizarre Gen-Z utopia without TikTok, or they just couldn’t be bothered with continuity. The middle of the film slows when it tries to inject real emotional stakes, but thankfully, it remembers it’s a satire just in time for a gloriously stupid finale involving anarchy, violence, and girl-on-girl redemption. Bottom line: Bottoms is like watching a high school play written by someone who watched Mean Girls, GLOW, and The Purge in the same night. It’s not meant to be taken seriously. If you’re in the target audience—teenage, rebellious, and fluent in ironic detachment—you’ll probably adore it. If you’re not, you’ll still have a good time wondering how on Earth this made it to theaters. And honestly? I’m glad it did, it is just unfortunate it vanished into my blackhole of a watchlist.
- cultfilmlikerJune 30, 2025I must have been in a bad mood the first time o watched this. Funny as hell. Marshawn has some great lines and the physical comedy is solid!
- justi7607March 16, 2025A hilarious comedy with throwbacks to the teen high school comedies the 90's and 00's. This is a worth watching for 90s & 00's nostalgia teen comedy geeks a hilarious trip down memory lane but also just a very funny modern comedy.
- kayllistiFebruary 26, 2025Bottoms is amazing and hilarious send up to the high school sex-comedies of the 90's and 00's, but taken to extremes. My stomach literally hurt leaving the theater after seeing this the first time. The entire cast is amazing, but the duo of Sennott and Edebiri truly stand out and play off each other wonderfully. If you haven't seen this movie, give it a try.
- RyezooFebruary 4, 2025Was interested in this for the two leads. Feel like this movie is a little overrated. I get the campyness to it but it just comes off feeling cheap and kinda dumb. We did laugh a few times at the fight club stuff.
- Charles LondonFebruary 1, 2025It feels like this is one of those love it or hate it type movies. Oddly, I fall somewhere in the middle. It felt to me like this movie was a spoof but it didn't know exactly what it was spoofing, perhaps everything. I'll give the writers credit for originality but the finished product failed to fully shine for me. It did have its moments, most of which included Marshawn Lynch. Who knew the dude could act? Not only is he at ease in front of the camera, his improvisational skills prove quickness on his feet isn't limited to the football field. But can we talk about (spoiler alert) the dead football team? That was over the top and that is saying something because the "top" for a movie like this is pretty high off the ground.
- Desmond DaleJanuary 24, 2025It's pretty much devoid of any logical plot devices or plot development but insanely amusing albeit not always as laugh out loud funny as I think they intended. It resides in small smirk territory most of the time.
- rg9400November 1, 2024I really enjoy this style of humor, even though looking online, I can see a lot of people do not. It is a bit cringey and over the top, filled with memes. It sort of reminds me of The Locked Tomb, and the similarly polarizing reaction people have to that book series. But disaster lesbians that are simply horny worked for me. The way needle drops are used, the absurdism, the queerness, Nicolas Galatzine, everything just made me laugh. Rachel Sennott, Emma Seligman, and Ayo Edebiri are instant watches for me.
