The new Orion comedy “Bottoms,” like a teen outcast staring longingly at the popular table, desperately wants to join that messed-up catalog of classics. Its weirdness fits the bill. Director Emma Seligman’s movie abounds with gruesome violence, explosions and bone-dry barbs about suicide. But while the off-kilter film is a fine showcase for the personalities of two of our best emerging comedic stars, Rachel Sennott (“Shiva Baby”) and Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”), the humor falls short of being very funny.
