In the realm of “Bottoms,” jokes about sexual assault, the raging patriarchy and Black Republicans not yet of voting age are equally fair game.
Some comedies, even erratic but rewarding ones like this one, would work with different casting decisions made for the leading roles. “Bottoms,” I’m not sure. That’s another way of saying Sennott and Edebiri work beautifully together and separately. The escalating craziness of the film’s final half-hour, leading to the championship game with the Vikings’ bloodthirsty rivals, could’ve used a little more craziness, a wilder visual quality.
That said, Seligman set out to create a “campy queer high school comedy in the vein of ‘Wet Hot American Summer’ but more for a Gen-Z queer audience,” as she told a festival audience last year. Nothing’s quite as it seems here, even the time frame: Characters rely on generations-old technology and, like “Peanuts,” the universe of “Bottoms” is essentially bereft of adults or reliable adult supervision.
PJ and Josie score, however, in lining up one of their instructors to “advise” their thirsty fight club. In the end, all these young women want is a foothold on life, a little less humiliation and some physical intimacy. If that makes “Bottoms” snarky on the outside but conventionally heartfelt on the inside, well, that’s fine, actually.How to watch: Premieres in theaters Aug. 24.
