Netflix is about to lose one of the very best comedy movies I've seen in years, and that means I feel duty-bound to shout about it before would-be viewers miss out. The movie in question? Emma Seligman's hilarious, R-rated high school comedy, "Bottoms."

Co-written with "Bodies Bodies Bodies" star Rachel Sennott, "Bottoms" is a side-splittingly funny high school comedy from 2023, with a violent streak. The film is filled with big characters, packed with great performances and boasts a snarky script. Any fan of Sennott's recent HBO Max series, "I Love LA," should absolutely seek it out before it's too late.

At the time of writing, this wild comedy is set to leave Netflix in just 9 days, meaning your last day to stream "Bottoms" on Netflix is Thursday, February 26, 2026. And if you're in the mood for a laugh, I'd definitely recommend bumping "Bottoms" to the top of your watchlist — read on to find out why.

Watch On

Billed as a "refreshingly unique" comedy by MGM, "Bottoms" introduces us to PJ (Sennott) and Josie (Edebiri), two unpopular seniors at Rockbridge Falls High. After landing on the idea following a run-in with the school's top football player, Jeff (Nicholas Galitzine), the pair launches a self-defence group... in an effort to get the attention of their crushes.

Despite their lack of actual fighting experience, the self-defence/fight club soon proves to be a success, and the pair are soon duking it out with some of the most popular girls at school... but when the club looks to be exposed,

In addition to the above stars, "Bottoms" also stars Marshawn Lynch, Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, Ruby Cruz, Miles Fowler, Punkie Johnson, and Dagmara Domińczyk.

If you like movies like "Do Revenge," "Superbad," "Booksmart," or "Mean Girls," I think you'll enjoy "Bottoms." It's a loud, raucous, R-rated comedy livened up with violence — and it's an absolute riot.

Knowingly silly, tightly composed (despite its free-wheeling plot) and packed with crude gags, "Bottoms" works because it commits to its over-the-top vibe from the off. It has many of the beats you'd expect from a high-school comedy — romance, friendship tests, cliques, and even an all-time needle-drop moment — but takes everything to extremes.

Across its 90-minute run, you'll get to know plenty of great characters, from the fight club through to club supervisor Mr. G and a scene-stealing, squealing turn from Galitzine and his army of uber-protective cronies. It starts daft and just keeps escalating, building up to a truly unforgettable final clash that's worth the time investment alone.

I'm sure the film's very particular vibe won't be for everyone, but if you can get on board with its sweary, punchy script and raucous tone, I'm sure it'll be one of the funniest films you've streamed in a long time.

You don't just need to take my word for it, either — "Bottoms" comes highly recommended. Seligman's comedy still holds a 91% rating from critics and an 89% approval score from moviegoers on Rotten Tomatoes.

There are plenty of very positive takes on the movie out there, but as a sample of what the critics had to say, The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw offered a 4-star review, praising the film's "delirious silliness" and the "goofy and winning comic presences of Sennott and Edebiri."

Likewise, at Variety, Owen Gleiberman summed it up as "unlike any high-school comedy you've ever seen", praising it as a "confident and audacious piece of work" and "a movie of outrageously forward-looking talent."

In my opinion, it deserves to be held up as a contemporary classic, and if you like over-the-top comic chaos, "Bottoms" should be on your radar. You've got about a week to stream it on Netflix, and I'd urge you to check it out.
