It’s not a stretch to say that 2023 was a pretty great year for movies.
Between successes like Oppenheimer and Barbie, acclaimed darlings like Poor Things and Anatomy of a Fall, and unexpected hits like Godzilla Minus One and Anyone but You, the film industry thrived last year. However, as usually happens, more than a few films earned far more acclaim than they should have, at least in this writer’s opinion. I’ve written already about my dislike for Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn, but that was a divisive film that had far more detractors than just me.
Related The premise itself is nothing out of the ordinary; if anything, it has a few things going for it. Like most other mediocre movies, it’s the execution where Bottoms fails. For starters, no one in this movie looks like an actual high schooler. True, this is a symptom of Hollywood itself, but it’s especially distracting in Bottoms, a movie whose entire premise revolves around horny teenage girls doing their utmost to control their out-of-control hormones.
Where’s that energy in Bottoms? Its idea of “shock” is rooted in painfully 2000s notions of what the word means: blood! Teen sex with adults! Girls being overtly horny! It’s all so boring; this entire movie was advertised as the antithesis of boring, and this is the best it can do, really? It’s a true “we must alert the church elders” moment because of how run-of-the-mill and unimaginative it all is.
Bottoms took quite a while to premiere in Mexico, where I live. For weeks, all I read on social media was how this film was raunchy, liberated, and unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Imagine my surprise when I finally watched it and found an unfunny and rather safe teen rom-com whose entire shtick seemed to be “Superbad, but with lesbians.
