After they accidentally injure their high school’s star quarterback Jeff by hitting him with a car, transforming them from awkward outcasts to overnight celebrities, best friends PJ and Josie concoct an elaborate lie about having spent time in a juvenile correction facility over the summer, and with their equally-awkward friend Hazel and teacher Mr G, they start a self-defense club for women in an attempt to lose their virginities to Brittany and Isabel, their cheerleader crushes.

“’Bottoms’ is the kind of go-for-broke, satisfying cult treat that can totally beat up your favorite teen classic.” – Brian Truitt, USA Today

“Real-life friends Sennott and Edebiri are harmonious in ways that relieve them of the need to land flat-out punchlines. Instead, they just sweat funny out of their pores.” – Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK)

“I’ve got your back-to-school viewing assignment right here in this queer, dark-comedy send-up of films such as ‘Superbad’ and ‘American Pie.’” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
