This is the kind of movie that defies any traditional review because it’s not a conventional movie by any means. It is supremely subversive and intelligent. I hope, I really truly hope, that there are more movies like this made by daring writers/directors who try to not only tell different stories but tell them in a different way. We should all hope that Bottoms is financially successful and encourages the investment needed to make more like this.
There is a lot of great humor throughout this movie, and in particular, Marshawn Lynch makes a laugh in every scene he’s in. If there were one thing I wish they could have done in this movie it would be to have cast Pete Carrol, Lynch’s former coach with the Seahawks, as the school principle. That would have been ridiculously funny.

This isn’t a movie that requires amazing acting to be effective, but at the same time I never saw a single actor in any scene t hat didn’t feel like they were deeply in touch with their character. It’s really great to see so many young actors who can’t have all that much experience do such a great job. Any time every actor does a great job in a movie a lot of credit must be given to the director for helping them. Kudoes to Emma Seligman. I hope we’ll be seeing a lot of her work in the future.
About The Peetimes: I tried to find an earlier Peetime, but nothing works until about 35 minutes into the movie. I would recommend the 2nd Peetime. It’s almost all a montage of events that are really easy to summarize.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Bottoms.

Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!
