Film enthusiasts and comedy fans in the UK are eagerly awaiting the release of a highly acclaimed comedy that has already taken the United States by storm. This sleeper-hit comedy, titled “Bottoms,” is generating significant buzz and anticipation after a successful debut earlier this year at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
Written and directed by Emma Seligman, “Bottoms” follows in the footsteps of her 2021 film “Shiva Baby.” The movie stars Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri, the latter known for her standout role as Sydney in the critically acclaimed Chicago cooking series “The Bear.”
The plot of “Bottoms” revolves around two high school senior girls who decide to set up a fight club as a rather unconventional means to win the affection of cheerleaders. The film quickly gained word-of-mouth traction following its premiere, making its way across the Atlantic to the UK.
Having already enjoyed a successful US release in August, the movie left international audiences eagerly awaiting their chance to see it on the big screen. While it became available digitally in the US a month later, it took a bit longer for UK film fans to get a taste of this comedy sensation. However, the wait is finally over, as “Bottoms” is set to make its UK debut on November 2.
Rachel Sennott, one of the film’s stars, recently appeared in the divisive HBO series “The Idol” as the assistant and best friend of Lily-Rose Depp’s pop star character, Jocelyn. Ayo Edebiri’s recent credits include “Theatre Camp,” a guest spot in the sitcom “Abbott Elementary,” and the animated “Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.”
“Bottoms” has already received critical acclaim, with Empire Magazine describing it as a “gloriously silly satire.” The film is not the first to be delayed in its UK release; earlier this year, the horror film “Pearl,” starring Mia Goth, arrived in the UK five months after its digital release in the US.

In addition to Sennott and Edebiri, “Bottoms” features a talented cast that includes Nicholas Galitzine, Kaia Gerber, Havan Rose, Ruby Cruz, and Marshawn Lynch. As of now, the film holds an impressive 92 per cent score on the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
While “Bottoms” is undoubtedly a highly anticipated release for November, it’s not the only film generating excitement. “Anatomy of a Fall,” the winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, is set to hit screens, along with Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon,” starring Joaquin Phoenix. Furthermore, “The Marvels,” which serves as a follow-up to Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) titles like “Captain Marvel,” “WandaVision,” and “Ms. Marvel,” is another blockbuster on the horizon.
As the festive season approaches, “Bottoms” promises to be a delightful addition to the lineup of films hitting UK cinemas, offering a much-needed dose of laughter and entertainment. For fans of comedy, this is one cinematic experience not to be missed. With a promising cast, intriguing storyline, and glowing reviews, “Bottoms” is poised to deliver an unforgettable comedic experience that will have audiences rolling in the aisles.
