And it's especially worse for queer people outside of the west where their very existence is illegalized. Just because you don't see it in your radar, doesn't mean it never exist.

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.

i’ve seen bottoms 9 times since it came out, i LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@llamacran]

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!

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

[@Croweye89]

Just watched it and Alex is right. The movie is actually, genuinely funny. 5/5

[@dublefass]

I've been following Alex for quite a while (basically since 2017) and I gotta be honest: I've never seen him this excited about a movie. I'm definitely gonna check it out

[@itsreelydalin]

"Bottoms" is incredible and I'm so so glad you like it too!

[@Neomagam]

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!

[@aspiringbeamoflight7047]

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.

[@emsharp1221]

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

[@petephil7508]

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

[@willowloe6917]

Underrated comment 😂

[@thatangelread]

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

[@JDonaldBin]

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

[@LiamChaidez]

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!

[@lordbelkamort]

4:59 OMGoodness I LOVE THAT!

[@biggerdumbass]

it explains everything

[@defygravityXD]

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.

‘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

[@crazycatlady6226]

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.

[@ImJaydumb]

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

[@bloodysuperstar8]

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

[@de-weed]

Very true

[@aegis9374]

Finally someone talking about this movie. I watched it for my job and its amazing!

[@HeartEyesMF]

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

[@stereokuuji]

2:52 You know hearing most of Alex's high school experiences (exaggerated or not) I'm starting to realize that I was like him but I was not like him 😂

[@seraphineclouser762]

They took the GSA club to a whole new level

[@anerd14]

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

[@ThatOneClosetWeeb]

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

[@llamachai]

This movie also kinda gives me Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging energy and I'm here for it lol

[@22headless]

omg i loved that movie

[@carlabaltazars]

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.

[@milcob]

I watched this movie two times and I follow the twitter account for it and kept up with it even before release I was sooo excited to watch it and I realllyyy love it!

[@dinaclimatiano1695]

Usually I just watch these review videos in the background as something fun to go along with doing the dishes or something, but this time I actually paused, went to watch the movie and came back. Thank you! Finally found a justification for my Prime subscription. It was so much fun!

[@justalittleme]

3:45 AGHHH IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICES THIS!!! THANKSSS

[@ccfreakMetal]

Alex, I'm 32, I relate alot to what your experiences were in your upbringing. I'm living with my dogs and chough my torso out in one go. But I like that you put it out there, the times where you just can compare to how life actually works! And you found it being you! And you found this success being you!
