Great teen sex comedies—sans a lesbian fight club.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Viewers who are still reeling from the frenetic energy of Bottoms won't find another movie out there about a lesbian fight club, but they can fill the void with some other great teen sex comedies. With a screenplay from Shiva Baby duo Emma Seligman, who also directs, and Rachel Sennott, Bottoms chronicles best pals PJ and Josie's attempts to impress - and hook up with - their cheerleader crushes before high school ends.
9 The To Do List Written and directed by Maggie Carey, The To Do List is the rare teen sex comedy that centers on a female character. The 2013 film stars comedic great Aubrey Plaza, but sees her shrugging off her signature deadpan from works like Parks and Rec and Safety Not Guaranteed. Instead, Plaza portrays the overachieving, socially awkward Brandy. After a drunken make-out session that results in her longtime crush, Rusty , ditching her, Brandy resolves to up her sex game.
Taking inspiration from 1980s teen films, Can't Hardly Wait is primarily set at a post-graduation house party. It also features a cast of teens doing all the typical things teens do when faced with the prospect of high school's end. One character struggles to profess his love for the popular girl, who herself is dealing with a breakup. And then there's Kenny Fish , who's dead set on losing his virginity at the party.
6 Booksmart Although not as raunchy as other teen comedies, Booksmart is a decidedly more feminist take on the genre. Olivia Wilde's directorial debut and is, in large part, also responsible for launching its co-leads, Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever, to new heights of stardom. The duo, who play Molly and Amy respectively, are very academically minded, but, when they realize their partying peers also got into top-notch colleges, they lament their high school experience.
4 Not Another Teen Movie The 2001 comedy Not Another Teen Movie parodies some of the all-time great coming-of-age and teen sex comedies, making it a must-watch for fans of the genres. For the most part, the film's plot mashes up She's All That with Varsity Blues, tosses in a dash of 10 Things I Hate About You and Can't Hardly Wait, and a twist of John Hughes' Pretty in Pink.
2 Plan B With a sharp script and brilliant leads, Natalie Morales' Plan B is one of the best coming-of-age movies of the last decade. At the start of the film, Sunny is convinced by her more rebellious best friend, Lupe , to throw a house party. At the said gathering, Sunny hooks up with a guy to get over her crush. An incident with Sunny's chosen form of contraception, however, leaves her fearful that she might wind up pregnant.
