BOTTOMS is the funniest movie I've seen in a loooong time 

hey so obviously this isn't like a normal video or anything. I just wanted to make a quick little one about Bottoms because this movie is NOT getting as much publicity as it should. It's not meant to be a review or a video essay or whatever. I just really liked the movie.

This movie is so ICONIC. The entire cast is hysterical. I can’t believe Nicholas Galitzine filmed Bottoms and Red White and Royal Blue back to back. He said RANGE.

it’s so funny how the guys are always in their football uniforms throughout the whole movie 💀

I cannot stress enough how much Ayo killed this performance like her comedic timing and expressions were insane. Don’t even get me started on the delivery of some of her one liners! “Even though you’re a black republican, you’re the smartest of all of us”. Her and Rachel are definitely about to take Hollywood by storm

“Annie, you may be a black Republican, but you're the smartest out of all of us!!” my favorite line from this movie

thank you thank you thank you 😭 i haven’t laughed as hard as i did watching this movie in a LONG TIME. It was so effortless and shocking but in a way that never felt like uncomfortable or crossing a line at any point. as a queer black woman, it’s hard to find a comedy movie that isn’t either poking unnecessary fun at people with my identity or just plain unfunny. this movie is perfect for all demographics to enjoy imo which is so rare

It's great because they actually made them characters, like Mean Girls, She's the Man, Bridesmaids etc. Not just emotionless, empty shells, they are just people.

the "complicated" scene is easily one of the best "sad song before the climax after everything goes wrong" in a movie I've seen in such a long time, like man, that was amazing, at that moment I knew I adored this film

I suggest to arrest every dude who says " women aren't funny" and as a punishment make them watch this masterpiece. It's a win-win situation.

The fact that Alex loved the movie so much so that he made a whole video for it and appreciated every single thing that they got right is all the incentive I need to watch this movie.

Love this movie and its satire. I thought of it as Super Bad but the lesbian version and even then it still stood on its own with the tropes. I loved the dialogues too. Conversations felt natural and realistic. I have to watch it again because I clearly missed a few things.

i hope they make more satirical comedy movies like this in the future. like the principal calling them ‘untalented gays’ was just peak satire.

Bottoms was the first time I went to a movie and everyone was laughing. Marshawn Lynch was so funny and the movie was just so well written. The dialogue in it just kind of slips under the radar in areas and that is what’s hilarious.

If you’ve seen this movie before, please rewatch and pay attention to the backgrounds because so much funny stuff happens in the background without even realizing on first glance and it’s a treat to watch 😂

Bottoms was so good. The comedic timing, the acting, the plot was hilarious. I think it’s the best teen comedy of the year tbh.

I know it in my heart that Ruby Cruz will be a huge star very soon. Her performance as Hazel stole the show for me. Also shout out to Ayo Edebiri (Josie) who a lot of us know from her work on The Bear. It's really cool to see her comedic acting chops.

Bottoms was my first real exposure to Ayo Edibiri, other than seeing a few of her standup comedy videos on youtube and the comedy in this movie is TOP TIER. It's a criminally under-watched film, the cast is amazingly hilarious, the plot and dialogue are new, funny and modern without being pushy, it just feels natural and real, like we're watching two girls do something to teen girls would do and it just happens to snowball out of control, and its SO GOOD

I must be the target audience for this movie because for over a month before it dropped, I couldn't open YT without getting a Bottoms preview playing as an ad 😂 This movie was so fun and well done! I enjoyed the little callbacks to other movies like But I'm a Cheerleader. If you enjoyed this movie, I suggest Emma Seligman's other movie Shiva Baby that also stars Rachel Sennott. I also really enjoyed Theater Camp which Ayo Adebiri has a role in. Both were great movies as well.

I love that Alex genuinely likes this movie, and it's one of the better high school movies of recent years.

The ensemble was hilarious. And Nicolas Galitzine was just enjoying every second of it.

I saw this twice in theaters (Chicago showed up for this movie) and I'll admit...I was probably the oldest person in the theater (Mid-30s surrounded by college aged folks). But man was it a great time, both times. People who were there to enjoy the movie and did. In a lot of ways, the movie feels like an updated Strangers with Candy, the show from the early 2000s with Amy Sedaris and Steven Colbert. And while the humor of that show is very of its time (that ironic racism, ableism, sexism that was very popular) it had an absurdist bent in its humor that is updated, elevated and executed so well in Bottoms. Actively encourage it, will be watching again, always look in the background for even more gags. Just a packed comedy that, as you put it, knows what it wants to be and then is that.

My bestie and I had to go through the absolute wringer trying to find a way to watch this movie in theatres. We were lucky enough that our local arthouse was playing it, but amc absolutely screwed this masterpiece over.

7:16 I think I can answer that without any special knowledge. The director told him, "Act like you're eating, but don't swallow the food. We don't want to replace it for a second take." Guy-in-the-background just took that literally and had fun with it.

SO GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT BOTTOMS! I went to see it with my friends and I didn’t think I would enjoy it, but I absolutely loved it. Glad to see other people are loving it too.

The audible gasps that happened in the theater that transitioned into roaring laughter during the finale was one of the best theater experiences I've had in a long time.

nah the cast is actually known pretty well in the industry like ayo edebiri was in the bear series and even voiced april in the recent teenage mutant turtle film, then rachel sennot was in films like shiva baby (done by the same director as bottoms) and bodies bodies bodies - we don't speak of the idol here and plus cindy crawford's daughter kaia gerber also plays brittany. they are very ifykyk but this film hitting a peak with less marketing but rather through recommendations is beautiful. it's really worth a watch.

Hazel is an absolute gem, and I love the montage of her coming home happy, bruised, & bloodied as her Mom slowly notices and starts going WTF? Not to mention how utterly unhinged they made the star quarterback. He wears his football gear to every class 😂

im so so happy you talked about this because bottoms is probably my favorite movie right now, and its so criminally under-advertised and no one knows about it!!! your video was amazing fr and encapsulated almost all of what i love about the movie (except u didnt mention hazel which is a crime!!! i love her!!!) and its jsut. so good JLKJFLKS

This movie, was so fucking funny, and honestly, I LOVED seeing non held back violence in a movie about teenage girls, Girls are never violent like that in teen movies, and I loved it

No way we skipping how funny the joke at 6:11 was

I love that Alex has taken time to basically just a promotional video for this movie because he appreciates it so much, it’s really sweet and I’m totally gonna go watch it!😂

i've been watching your videos for 4 years and i couldn't be more thankful for the kind of humor you bring to this dry app

I watched this movie like yesterday and it really is so hilarious and surprisingly gory! And as a sapphic lady creature myself, it felt so sapphic. Very lesbian idk, just a very accurate representation of what it’s like to a girl who likes other girls. It was funny and cartoony and somehow really grounded and relatable at the same time (and the entire cast is stunning in a very human way)

I never expected Alex to actually... Like a movie.

“From the producers of pitch perfect and cocaine bear” 💀 💀

I HIGHLY recommend “Book Smart.” Such a good graduation, high school movie.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but noticed one of the protagonists, Rachel Sennot, was also the protagonist of "Shiva Baby" and that movie was top-tier comedy as well. Highly recommend it!😂

Rachel Sennott is a big star to ME, haha. Shiva Baby is fantastic (same lead actress and same writer/director, Emma Seligman, as Bottoms), and Rachel was also hilarious in Bodies Bodies Bodies. She always plays a total dirtbag, and I love it. Also love Ayo Edebiri in The Bear, where she plays a very different character!

this movie was HEAVILY marketed and pushed, well to us gay kids on tiktok

I was so mad that none of my local theaters played this movie!! It's a good one

The fact I actually was laughing at the scenes of the movie on the video vs laughing at the reactions to the scenes sold the movie to me. Will watch as soon as it gets to my country.

I found out about this film because the actress Ruby Cruz (Hazel) plays in it. She also played one of the main roles in the Disney series Willow. Here she again turned out to be a very interesting sapphic character 💅. I like that 🤩

‘Bottoms’ is very much Alex Meyers coded. It’s zany and funny with a genuine personality at the centre. Ok was that too subtle? Idk

I knew this was a hit when I saw it in theaters. Everyone was cracking up the whole time. Loved it.

I saw a few trailers and it made such an impression that I drove 30 minutes to the only theater playing it by myself. It was great. He honestly didn't even mention the best parts of the movie, like the gym and football scene or the background growth of the club members. 10/10 recommend ❤

Alex, thank you so much for this video! I saw Bottoms twice in theaters because it was soooo good! Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri do so much strong acting work to ground the movie while balancing the crazy bloody reality it lives in. I wish we could have more movies like this! It truly feels like a lesbian Mean Girls meets Fight Club minus all the mental gymnastics of a Brad Pitt alter ego. Truly a work of art film! I WANT MORE!

Alex neglected to mention that Marshawn Lynch is in the movie, presumably because he's trying to get us to watch this movie on its own merit. it looks hilarious & I might watch it!

The fact that this came from the same producers of Pitch perfect immediately told me it was going to be hilarious

This movie is still so under-rated. A MUST SEE.

and to think that so many of those parts r improvised by rachel and ayo. it was fun and the entire cast did a great job. everyone needs to see it

this is probably the first video I've seen of the movie that doesn't mention Jeff or Nicolas in any way but actually talks about the plot of the premise

I was sick with pneumonia and suddenly remembered I've been meaning to watch this film. My health got better after watching this movie

4:59 OMGoodness I LOVE THAT!

5:24 Dude Nicholas Galitzine's first line in this video HAD ME ROLLING XD

I was not expecting Alex to do a video for this movie but BOY am I glad he did. I guess if a movie features anything highschool related it isn’t safe from Alex!

They took the GSA club to a whole new level

Bottoms achieved the impossible, Alex likes it unironically

not to mention hazel!!! im in love w her fr

you know a movie is phenomenal when alex doesn't end the title with "was the craziest movie" or "was a weird movie" and cant even poke fun at it because its just that good

I got lucky and managed to get the last open seat for opening night of Bottoms. Ive been telling everyone i know to go see it. So glad you are spotlighting this film!

totally agree. this film is BEYOND good. you just forgot to mention how great hazel is played and how beautiful the actor who plays her is, but i forgve you.

Just watched it.... and fking hell, I loved it! It just escalates so beautifully into chaos xD Nice recommendation, thx.

This movie is such a validating example of how queer main characters can do queer things and have that be ‘the whole point of the movie,’ but still be universally relatable, entertaining, and appeal to a wide audience. When I was growing up, queer people were starving for any kind of positive representation in media. I had members of my own family telling me ‘idc if there are queer characters in movies but being queer can’t be the whole point that’s just annoying.’ While I was desperate to see queer characters being queer onscreen. This movie does that. And it’s fantastic. I think it’s an instant mainstream classic comedy. And it’s so nice to finally be able to talk to my straight friends and coworkers about a queer film we both saw and enjoyed independently.

If your on the sapphic/lesbian side of twt you most definitely would have seen this movie on your feed lol. It was literally everywhere for me. I have yet to watch it but I've seen so many clips that I feel like I've already watched it.

to be fair I only knew about this movie because of Nicholas Galitzine playing a jock in it

Straight, white and male, watched it because of this video and thought it was a really fun time. Good performances, everyone mostly felt like a high schooler, fun jokes. The message is mostly left to the viewer and they don’t try to shove it down your throat, which is quite refreshing these days. Worth a watch in my opinion

Ayo's delivery here had me cackling for a million years in the theatre 7:06

This is absolutely my favorite movie of the year it’s so freaking funny, a modern comedy classic for sure

I’m glad u made a vid on this movie because people should definitely talk more about it. It’s great! Amanda the Jedi also made a good vid about it for anyone looking for a good watch.

This is the first movie in years that i didnt skip any parts! I enjoyed it so much. Ive only rewatching my fav movies since none of the newer ones were any good.

2:36 blue shirt guy in the background casually walking around with a sex doll on a festival where there probably is kids 🙏💀

2:13 I USED TO IMAGINE THIS SAME SCENARIO ALL THE TIME W MY CRUSH... is this a sapphics thing or something

yeah uh im one of those little shits who was watching you at 12 and is now at uni. its insane actually. what the hell man. but fr keep doing what you're doing. forever a fan

To be fair, Jeff’s actor (Nick) did get a growth of fame right before this movie came out. And the Bottoms pr team knows it!!! They took advantage of it to promote it!!! I think every scene of Jeff’s was released as promo before it came out lmao

I still can’t believe the Jeff and Prince Henry are the same person. Nicholas Galitzine has range

So, like a modern age Superbad? Sounds awesome

Just saw it yesterday as it released a little late In the UK and I loved it. Incredibly over the top perfectly paced and engaging story, Incredibly funny loved it!

8:53 I honestly don't know how this is going to help anything

Thank you for talking about this movie, I had such a great time watching it and honestly wanted to watch it again after, I loved all the background jokes the most. the blink and you missed it. This movie was so good!!! IT needs more people to see it

Watched this the other night and I loved it!! I couldn’t stop laughing it was the funniest movie I’ve seen in a while and the cast did amazing

Just watched this with my schools lgbtq club and it was a fucking amazing experience yelling at the projector together

I don’t know why but the trailers kind of turned me off the movie but then I saw the reviews and gave it a shot. Holy hell did this movie make me laugh.

0:59 I saw her in Bodies Bodies Bodies first then shiva Baby. She was pretty good in both

holy cow alex is pumping out these videos for us! eternally grateful big man

That last batch of lines from the movie you used were gold. I straight up cackled and screamed cuz I was so caught off guard. I know I'm twisted from my past but that was so funny.

As a lesbian from what I’ve seen of this movie it’s basically the best lesbian representation. Not fetishised, just lesbians

I just saw this yesterday with my friends. We've been having Friday movie nights for a year and this is the best one ever. I was literally smiling or laughing for the entire movie. also, Alex, I CANNOT BELIEVE that you didn't mention the boxer guy's cage being the the background of an early classroom scene.

5:25 Wait a second... Is that the actor from red white royal blue 👀👀

5:13 why is there no noise from anyone else in the hallway

I recently said i want Alex to review more stuff he actually likes and now this? Amazing. Also: European so gotta wait for the release (I heard Amazon Prime got the rights?)

"you didn't need to start a whole fight club you know, you could have just talked to me" is the most relatable line of this whole movie also GO WATCH BOTTOMS ITS SO GOOD (and isabelle is so pretty tehehehe)

I remember laughing my ass out when she said "these girls are ugly"

You know you are queer when you actually got a ton of the trailers shown to you 😂

I like half of “Bottoms”, some of the jokes work, and some don’t. I can see this coming back as a cult classic.

Alex-“bottoms had nothing, no baking on famous names” *proceeds to show one of the greatest nfl players of all time marshawn lynch*

Finally, something that you actually like. About damn time.

I loved this movie so much

SPOILERS: So ik alex said he wasn’t going to spoil the movie, but I feel like it’s important to mention that the climax of the movie is 2 things: 1. The friend group gets back together and josey and pj (somewhat) figure out what’s going on in their relationships. 2. The friend group then goes on to murder an entire football team. Yk, as you do in a classic teen rom com. I just felt like this was worth mentioning because I was physically DYING bc that plot point caught me so off guard

no honestly, not having watched the movie but just from your video, it just feels like? its a younger generation of humor? like ppl my age are finally old enough to make movies so its actually the humor im used to from my peers and thats what makes it so funny

The best part of this movie for me was everything that was happening in the background. Like so much was going on, the kid in the cage in the classroom, the words on the whiteboard, the way the students were interacting. It was so funny for me personally
