Bottoms

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love this movie. I really adore all of the characters because they don't feel forced. Most of the time when I see Gen Z being portrayed on TV it is physically painful to watch, but with this writing it was so unserious and fun that I actually caught myself laughing multiple times. The humor is definitely not for everyone but it was exactly my cup of tea so it was absolutely delightful to watch. And seeing loser lesbians as main characters is something straight out of my dreams... This is going to become a classic in my house and a nostalgic pick when i want to get reminded of my youth!

I really recommend it!

(Ruby Cruz absolutely stole my heart as Hazel and this movie made me a fan of hers lmao)

Now here's a high school, that you'd love to go to, as anything goes - nothing's taboo, where two single girls, who aren't looking for pearls, start a club to find love, that gets quite misconstrued. There is punching and kicking, a shove with a push, the dialogues quite racy and might make you blush (if you're of a certain age and demographic), a battle of sexes, as pairs become exes, the romance is there, but it just isn't mush. Growing up can be tough if you're different from others, once being a woman kept you under the covers, now the rules of engagement, don't lead to enragement, and a progressive world - just will not be smothered.

I have always loved high school comedies and was hoping to love this one too. I liked it. I just wished it was more grounded in reality.

On the plus side, It was refreshing to see two queer female best friends as the main characters. They were outcasts at school but embraced it. The chemistry between the two was strong and their scenes together were funny and at times touching.

As for the cons, the film felt low budget. I didn't mind this at first but by the second half, the film falls into lapses of logic and ridiculousness. This is a high school that only seems to have one teacher. Insane things happen between students and no one intervenes. The last 20 minutes are especially nuts to the film's detriment. I started to long for the polish of a Clueless or Mean Girls.

Overall a decent effort in desperate need of some fine tuning.

People were hyping this movie up like it was the second coming of Brian. But not only did it fail to evoke any response mildly resembling a laugh, it in fact made me wonder what people even consider to be funny these days.

It's over-the-top satire, sure, I get that, and I even get what this movie tries to poke fun at, but I just found myself being unable to enjoy or even connect with this particular style of annoying teenage humour. I don't know if this is a generational thing or a cultural thing... it could be both. All I know is that it just wasn't for me.

I don't think I'll ever recommend this to anyone, but neither would I recommend against it. Because humour is extremely subjective, and maybe this might be the funniest movie you'd have seen.

I really can't score this movie any lower than a nine. Not only was it my style of humor, it was able to stay entertaining all the way to the end. No third act deflation! And on top of being funny for the entire runtime, I enjoyed the story. I actually thought it had a plot that drew me in and gave me a highly satisfying resolution. I appreciated the fact that there were so many ridiculous details that it was almost like this movie was set in an alternate universe. For me, it kept the balance exactly right. Wild, but with some grounded elements to keep me caring about the characters. I think this could become one of my favorite comedies of all time. I don't know how many other people I would show it to, because I think the humor was extremely subjective, but I treasured it.
