“Bottoms” is your “typical” teen/high school (sex) comedy in which the losers try to weasel themselves out of their low social standing at school by lying their way to end up with the hot girls, except this time its lesbians. PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri) are considered losers in this world (we have to suspend our disbelief here) and come up with a plan to start a “fight club” or self defense class in order to meet girls and lose their virginity before college; based on a lie that they had spent their summer in juvie and could defend themselves as well as teach other girls to defend themselves. The movie is funny, bloody, disastrous and may be cringeworthy at times, but isn’t that just what high school is? The plot of the movie is a little patchy, which might be why a lot of movie makers are ditching the 1hour 30 minutes format for the 2 hours to provide a more fleshed out story.
