Why watch this film?
This movie is absolutely hilarious. Everything feels so real, with the family's desperation to know about their daughter's boyfriends, college and such. Meanwhile, the young protagonist (played brilliantly by newcomer Rachel Sennott) has to give her all to deal with her "sugar daddy" in the same environment as her whole family. The soundtrack with a horror movie vibe is also a great touch. It's hard not to have fun. It's a shame that, even with less than 80 minutes, the movie ends up repeating itself and getting a bit tiresome. But it was still worth it for the good laughs.

Bottoms
One of the great surprises in cinema in 2023, with an authorial and female empowerment atmosphere, Bottoms is a film about a group of girls in school who create a fight club, previously portrayed with testosterone by David Fincher in Fight Club. Here, the characters create this space not to unleash the desire for violence, but to impress other girls and thus, perhaps, integrate with the cheerleaders and escape bullying. It's a simple film in its essence, but it features a creative and daring direction by Emma Seligman (from the excellent Shiva Baby), who also gives room for its protagonist, Rachel Sennott, to create on screen and bring authenticity to the plot.
