WATCH: Sapphic Teen Sex Comedy ‘Bottoms’ Releases Hilarious Teaser

‘Bottoms’ tells the story of two high school senior girls who set up a fight club so they could impress and eventually hook up with cheerleaders. It will star Sennott (‘Shiva Baby’) and Edebiri (‘Big Mouth’). The two have been best friends since first grade, but as they enter their senior year in high school, they realize that they’re pretty much at the bottom of the food chain — losers, lonely, and lesbians. Their solution to their problem? A fight club. 

Aside from Sennott and Edebiri, ‘Bottoms’ will also feature Marshawn Lynch (‘Murderville’), Ruby Cruz (‘Castle Rock’ Havana Rose Liu (‘No Exit’), Kaia Gerber (‘American Horror Story’), and ‘Red, White, & Royal Blue’ star Nicholas Galitzine as supporting actors.

It originally premiered at the SXSW Film Festival on March 11 and will hit cinemas on August 25. 

‘Bottoms’ has received generally positive reviews since its release with Rolling Stone describing it as “the horniest, bloodiest high school movie of the 21st century.” IndieWire said it is “hilariously weird” but still tells “a rather poignant story about female friendship and empowerment.” On the other hand, Daily Beast said it “makes no sense — that’s why it’s so wildly brilliant.”  The comedy has gotten 96% approval with 24 reviews so far on Rotten Tomatoes.

‘Bottoms’ was directed by Emma Seligman who also co-wrote the script alongside Sennott. It was produced by Max Handelman, Alison Small, and Elizabeth Banks.
