The film "Bottoms" is in the vein of raunchy teen comedies like "American Pie" and "Superbad" but focuses on the LGBTQ+ community with a mix of drama and action.The new indie film "Bottoms" debuted in limited release over the weekend and saw a huge per-screen average at the box office.
We meet PJ and Josie, two lesbian best friends who are social outcasts at their high school. The girls are each pining for popular cheerleaders who barely acknowledge their existence. To gain the attention of their crushes, PJ and Josie start a self-defense class for women that quickly turns into an out-of-control fight club.
"There's so much more to be explored in coming-of-age movies, for sure," said Seligman. "I just tried to give a taste of my own and of my friends. And I hope to see so much more going forward." "I definitely hope that queer teens watch it and enjoy it, that's all you can hope for when you're making something that there is somebody out there that it speaks to," said Seligman. "It does at the same time feel new and fresh to be doing this story from this perspective."
