Bottoms (2023)
Don't bother
I watched this movie based on the great reviews and because it was compared to the iconic male driven teen movies only with lesbians this time. I give the movie 2 stars. One because I know there are people who appreciate seeing movies with LGBT lead roles. This movie does do that at least. The other star is because the acting wasn't bad. There isn't much good to say after that. The story line just doesn't make sense and it's just too absurd. It's very rarely funny. What made past teen movies good was that even if they were silly and at times even absurd, there was still a relatable and believable premise to them. Porky's is high-school boys trying to sneak into a local strip club. Sure, that's a believable premise. American Pie is an akward teenage boys embarrassing moments while trying to lose his virginity before college. Yep, that makes sense too. Superbad is 2 guys trying to get alcohol to impress girls at a party. I buy it. This movie is 2 lesbian teenagers hit a classmate with their car. Use it as a premise to start a "fight club" for women's self defense at school. "Fight club" is really a way to try to bang their female classmates. They are called out and embarrassed when their true intentions are made publicly known. They are redeemed when they find out the schools rival football team is planning to kill a player of their team during homecoming (which we learn is tradition in their town). The girls reband and kill every player of the opposing team and saving the day. I mean, I'm a few years removed from high-school and I've admittedly never been a teenage lesbian. Maybe I'm missing something. All I know is that if anyone in that teen to early twenty target audience finds anything relateable or even funny about this movie, things have changed a bit more than I realized.
The Exorcism in Amarillo (2020)
Ho-ly Jesus what is that?
WTF did I just watch? What is this doing on mainstream streaming platforms? This is a family home video. It belongs boxed up in the attic with all the other pictures and video nobody outside the family would possibly care about, not on my TV. This is less interesting than a strangers vacation slide show.
Anything I say now is to make enough characters to be able to post the review. There really is nothing else to say. It's a garbage film. Don't waste your time, this isn't even a so bad it's funny kind of situation. Makes me embarrassed to be from Texas. Lame family. They must be pretty full of them selves to think the rest of the world cares... Typical evangelical I suppose.
