Bottoms Movie

Two queer high-school outsiders, frustrated by their lack of romantic success and social standing, hatch a bold, outrageous scheme: start an all-girls fight club as a way to get close to the popular girls they fancy. One is sharp-witted and determined, the other anxious but fiercely loyal; together they recruit an eclectic mix of misfit fighters, turn a junky basement into a training ground, and market the club as an underground, cathartic experience. The plan hinges on chaos and comedy—pairing romantic ambition with absurd physical contests—while navigating school hierarchies, parental expectations, and the petty cruelties of teenage life. Their DIY ethos, snarky banter, and growing cadre of misfits give the scheme momentum and unexpected cultural cachet.

As the club gains attention, internal tensions begin to surface: rivalries between members, ethical questions about consent and exploitation, and the pressure to maintain a rebellious image while hiding the venture from adults. A charismatic new arrival complicates matters by attracting the attention they were seeking, forcing the founders to confront jealousy and blurred boundaries. Outside pressures—teachers, gossip, and the lure of popularity—test their camaraderie and the sustainability of their stunt. The early emotional stakes are established: loyalty versus self-interest, identity versus performance, and the precariousness of turning rebellion into spectacle.
