Giving this an 7/10 rating

Total screwball comedy set in a high school, very much tipping it's hat towards 1970 and early 80's comedy from the time, but with social commentary of today.

Rachel Sennott, and Ayo Edebiri, play two so called lesbians who get into trouble and form a club of sorts, a fight club, as a way out, and to sort out their sex life. It all goes wrong, as it needs to, Marshawn Lynch is crazy as the hapless poor old teacher, is roped into helping run the club and the background of the school jocks is clearly the focus of the most of the jokes and story.

It gets very bloody with all the fighting and Rachel Sennott, and Ayo Edebiri as the leads get stuck into their roles, as losers, of sorts, Marshawn Lynch is dirty mouthed and crazy. Miles Fowler and Nicholas Galitzine just run with their roles as the school football team jocks, who are just out right mad and evil.

The film strangely works, just 'Cocaine bear', it's a guilty pleasure to behold, and I had a good time watching it, But it's not classic though.
