BottomsTownie6.8· June 30, 2024FollowIf you are also within the target demographic of weird teenage lesbian (me) and enjoy satire. Go watch it. I think there is a lot of fun to be had with a film that takes misogynistic ideas into empowering the most marginalized people in society (lesbians…) and then calling them “bottoms”, and then making them bottoms. (The one time any of the leads are on top of a man it’s immediately followed with them leaving. It’s thematically genius) We finally have poc lesbian sapphic lame girl rep in a big(ish) movie and most of the actors serve and they’re having a great time. I like the jokes and I am the ambassador for Gen Z which means that everyone should also like the jokes. Some of them were a little corny or didn’t land, but I like to think the good outweighs the bad. There’s a lot of weird awkward moments that I really like. I think everyone likes Hazel and I watched the movie for her And I’m okay with that. My gripes with the movie really just come down to the weird stuff that happens as a result of forcing the 3 act structure. In the final act u have PJ and Josie get back together which I feel is a little forced, and the kiss w Josie and Isabel in the final is also a bit rushed I think. It’s completely fine for Isabel to just, not forgive Josie for what she did, but it happens anyway. I guess it can be explained away because it IS a satirical movie but I feel like the relationships really hold the movie up. If one relationship feels fake or forced, I’m just left a little sad. Same with Hazel and PJ. The kiss was fine, But hazel being so quick to forgive PJ is just soo.. like forced to have a happy ending. I feel like the film tries so hard to make Josie and PJ both in the wrong but I simply feel like PJ was just more of a jerk, also? Not only for her being rude the whole time, but for having her apology accepted and also not being the one to talk to Josie after their fight… like… ok girlCommentsSign in to react and join the conversation.Sign inGet the app
