If the music budget for your gay-ass broken-noses-and-hearts high school comedy can only afford one bona fide classic to score the big turning moment in the movie, make it "Total Eclipse of the Heart". And then make the sort of movie that's just the right side of over the top to deserve "Total Eclipse of the Heart".

Started off a bit rough, but quickly got in to the swing of things and I was all for it. I loved the camp especially. Reminded me very much of Clueless. This is the kind of savage, boundary-pushing comedy that you just don’t see anymore. Most of the jokes landed and the entire cast stayed committed, and I thought that was brilliant. It has some really touching moments as well as some pretty likable characters. Bring back ninety-minute teen comedies with bloopers please! A hilarious, great time.

I just love how Bottoms commits hard, and doesn't pull any punches literally or figuratively. Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri are fantastic leads, and Marshawn Lynch is surprisingly good in a supporting role. The score is also very much on point in spots. Unfortunately some parts are a little cliched (beyond the parody elements), but ultimately it's just refreshing to see a movie successfully blend classic comedy elements with more modern attitudes, and sensibilities.

Likeable for most of its length, even if the film itself never quite matches the tone that the actors are going for (broader, go broader, go Mel Brookes broad), I got a good few chuckles out of it. But the third act is so bad it soured me on the whole thing. So stupid I had to look away a few times out of embarrassment. They really had no idea where to go with this premise

People are either head over heels for this one or super mad about it, so I guess I have the hottest take of all by saying that it’s…..basically fine? I laughed a few times and really enjoyed many performances, especially from Sennott and Edebiri, but I felt like it stuck a little too close to the genre it’s seemingly trying to send up most of the time. Still, nice to see a teen sex comedy from a different perspective, and continues a trend of cool stuff from people I like.

This is pretty clearly in the vicinity of a standard high school sex comedy plot ... the kind that flourished in the 1980's ... with gender and sexual orientation swapped leads. I don't intend that as any sort of criticism, in fact, I really liked how this film took pretty standard genre tropes and completely made them it's own. I thought this was a ferociously funny film that deeply committed to it's premise and really went into some appropriately extreme territory.

A comedy only needs to make me laugh. Everything else is just in conjunction with the funny. You need good comedic performances to make the jokes land, but I don't need a Denzel Washington performance. This made me laugh more consistently, and sometimes harder, than almost any other movie this year. It works because it's so ridiculous. Excellent musical choices. Crafts actual jokes around its raunchiness, rather than using it as a crutch.

One of the few comedies I've ever seen that constantly managed to make me laugh. Also, Charli needs to create more soundtracks.

Bottoms demonstrates that it is possible to be progressive and revolutionary without being moralistic and politically correct. PJ and Josie lie for their self-interest and trick others into their scheme. Yet it becomes some sort of a noble lie as it helps everybody fight patriarchy and assert sisterhood. Bottoms demonstrates that intersectionality and queer politics can succeed without being pedantic and moralistic. Good that it is part parody and camp as well. Very very funny too. Good job.

What I loved most about this is how it feels both insanely cartoony, but then also somehow grounded? Like mumblecore Looney Tunes or something bizarre like that. Lots of fun and really original.

They obviously didn't aim for realism and just had fun making an over-the-top high school film that gets by on its contagious energy. That Entourage joke was funny.

Oh so these are what they call "messy gays". Seligman writes such fantastic ensemble comedies, but where Shiva Baby is a grounded familial powder keg, here she cranks all the anxieties and fumbles of coming-of-age and lets the cast loose in a more light, trope embracing affair. Self-aware queer camp ala But I'm a Cheerleader meets high school farce ala Heathers. Love the girl who just can make bombs, Gen Z teens have the internet its best to fear their knowledge. Incredible final shot as such.

Coulda used a bit more lesbian action & fight scenes in a lesbian fight club movie, but it has enough, and is primarily dedicated to being a borderline Not Another Teen Movie-level unhinged high school comedy that unravels more and more into surrealism as it goes on. I was concerned it was gonna be preachy about feminism or whatever but it's not like that; it just seems interested in being funny. I've only seen Ayo Edibiri in this & The Bear but she's 2 for 2 and seems like a future star to me.

I haven't seen a movie that uses dark humor and absurdity so well in a long time. Bottoms is one of the surprises of the year for me. While dozens of youth movies set in high school are mocked in the story, queer, sapphic and feminist themes are used extensively. The bloody fight sequence in the finale was absolutely crazy. Emma Seligman & Rachel Sennott duo continues to shine just like in Shiva Baby.

Everyone brought their A-game, especially Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri. The choice to make the cinematography polished for such an unhinged romp was a stroke of genius

So snappy, fun, and gay off the top that I had high hopes it would continue to subvert and delight - but then it needlessly bullies Hazel (I'm uncomfortable with an unsolicited kiss being her "reward" also), falls prey to a very clumsy betrayal/"liar revealed" beat, and only leans without leaping into absurdity. Go all-in, and damn the conventional beats! Still, mostly fun.

"Bottoms" surpasses expectations with its unconventional take on the high school comedy genre. Seligman explodes the traditional outline with a delightfully raunchy and queer approach that is both deliriously funny and a classic in the making.

Female Fight Club Hell Yeah! Olha, o colegial foi foda, mas nunca tão foda como mostrado nos filmes americanos. Ao lado de Barbie esse é um dos filmes mais deliciosos do ano. Plus: Todo um sabor de ver todas essas mulheres nos créditos atrás das câmeras. Plus 2: Nunca pensei que superariam o uso de Total Eclipse of the Heart cantando pela Cate Blanchett em Bandits, aqui é melhor ainda. Plus 3: Sou total Hazel, hahaha YTS.

There was something missing from this. My first suspect is the editing: Timing is everything in humor, and the beat was somewhat off here. A second, but lesser, suspect was the semi-meta vibe, where you keep everything at a remove so you can justify doing narratively stupid shit. I want a crazy comedy where everyone fully believes the world they are in. So much charm is wasted when you take this ironic approach and dampen the whole experience. MVP: Ayo Edebiri

I found this started off strong and then goes through peaks and valleys, but it still has plenty of laughs throughout. Overall damn gay -- not just in terms of subject matter, but conceptually I think this reaches for absurdity that feels like a trademark of queer comedy. The cast is strong and the fun they're clearly having is infectious through the screen.

What a welcome, preposterous world and tone. It's somewhere in between Not Another Teen Movie and Booksmart. But I am not fully on board. The comedic timing is a bit off far too often, and the script didn't do much for me.

I guess it's nice of Sennott and Seligman to take back "raunchy teen comedies" from the fratbros and free the subgenre from the frequently rape-y vibes. The problem is the narrative arc that serves as the backbome of the subgenre isn't really ever that funny. And while Bottoms did have a handful of chuckle-worthy jokes, its commitment to the subgenre needlessly hamstrung the flick. A pretty mediocre comedy overall.

Clearly inspired by the perfection that is Wet Hot American Summer, in a mostly positive way. The script is solid, and everything comes together very well with some genuine heart. The haphazard combination of everything isn't for me, but it's admirable.

I get what Seligman and Sennott are trying to do, but they don't pull it off. There's self-aware humour, and then there's this conceited, 'leftist' garbage. And how dare these Gen-Zs tarnish Lavigne's 'Complicated'

Man, someone HATED football players back in high school. A funny, petty, sardonic lesbian romp. The compounding absurdity really comes into its own in the third act. I always knew pineapples were the most perverse fruit.

Not brilliant or anything near that, but the leads are great, Marshawn delivers it and you gotta love its constantly wild, abrasive nature towards such a crazy (but unforgettably unique) period in life as teenhood.

This is mostly bad and feels like the high school comedy version of The 41 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It. We’re living in the times of the parody of the parody. Will always love Beast Mode (even tho his character does feel a bit racist? The whole bit is him being a scary black guy actually caring about women’s issues) and the fact Sennott isn’t Jewish is crazy (I can convert her)

I don't think I was fully prepared for the insanity that is Bottoms, but what we get is a hilarious almost absurdist comedy about relationships, friendships, and girl fight clubs? It moves at a frenetic pace, but the razor-sharp writing, which drops one-liners by the second, is supported by some believable acting from its young cast, all of whom have impeccable comedic timing. Absurdist campiness in the vein of Clueless and Mean Girls.

I’ve been impressed by Seligman, Sennott and Edebiri from everything I’ve seen from them so far, so my expectations were probably unreasonably high. While the fight club aspect itself has very little screen time, and the increasingly unhinged nature of it all is a bit much at times, it does have a number of legitimately funny moments. The dark humor in particular was done quite well. Another solid entry of the more recent Gen-Z comedies popping up.

I was a little skeptical early on in this, but it ended up winning me over by the end. It's an absurd premise taking place in an absurd version of this world, but it understands its absurd aspects and uses them as a strength, never trying to be too realistic. Not everything hits, but most of the humor works well and some of it very well. Lynch is an inspired piece of casting who fits the vibe of the movie perfectly. It's very formulaic but the absurd aspects and premise make it feel fresh enough
