Once we harvest the fat...
Bottoms Up: Rise of the Backside (2014), about the cultural phenomenon of large butts and booty shaking, is confused and understandably so. Butts are funny while severe self-inflicted injury isn't funny. Crass culture is funny while objectification isn't funny. So there's plenty here for everyone to criticize. The angle from which this particular review will aim its criticism is directors Chris Alvarez and Kurt Williamson failure to follow the darker tones into the truly revelatory areas that scream out for coverage. The vast majority of Bottoms Up is a VH1 content filler with unknown comedians making ridiculously broad cultural claims intercut with music videos and what little music they could license. But about twenty minutes into the film, you see in grotesque reality what surgical ass enhancement entails. From that point onward, the comedians appear tone-deaf and unfunny. They probably didn't see the footage. They should have.
