The director of the new teen comedy film Bottoms is discussing reactions from audiences who don't understand its characters.
,"There wasn't one universal, 'You can't include this joke,' you know what I mean? Or like, 'Oh my god, the fighting is too much. It's too bloody.' But everyone sort of had one thing or another that they were like, 'I didn't love this.'" She adds,"There was a lot of PJ specifically, but 'PJ and Josie are unlikeable, and I don't like them.' And I think that I was so naive and shocked that people still say that.
' You kind of are enough to want to follow the movie, but you're not supposed to think they're good people.,"And I didn't feel any pressure to rewrite the movie to make them nice because that would totally change what the movie was, but I definitely felt pressure to try to humanize them to a point. We found a sweet spot, and I do think it helped for sure in terms of what you were asking earlier. I do think it's important to care somewhat about these characters.
