Bottoms

Film critic and senior Chronicle staff writer Richard Whittaker once came into my under-the-stairs office, pointed at my Bottoms movie poster, and said “Oh, Bottoms. I wish you were funny.” Little did he know that such a huge wish had already been granted, as Emma Seligman’s sophomore directorial effort is filled with gut-busters in more ways than one. Specifically, two ways: One, in how your gut will bust from laughing at Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri as they create a high school fight club in order to score with hot girls; and two, in that this fight club actually busts a lotta guts through punching, kicking, and biting themselves and others. Wish Bottoms were funny? Wish granted, dude! – James Scott Read a full review of Bottoms.
