Unpopular best friends PJ and Josie start a high school self-defense club to meet girls and lose their virginity. They soon find themselves in over their heads when the most popular students start beating each other up in the name of self-defense.
This movie contains 37 potentially triggering events.
A fight is instigated between a relatively small woman and a large man who is implied to be particularly violent. It's described by the instigator as a way to show how powerful the woman is after participating in a self-defense class, but is clearly actually intended to cause her harm. She holds her own for a short time, but ultimately the guy takes over and beats her up.
a woman is beaten up by a man while the two are fighting, resulting in her falling unconscious to the ground. she eventually wakes up and recovers in following scenes.
SPOILERS!!
at the end of the film, it is implied that multiple men have been killed by the women beating them up. this isn't ever fully confirmed, but they all lay motionless with blood around them. someone is also impaled by a sword, most likely leading to their death.
There’s a pretty explicitly autistic coded character who gets treated poorly by her friends due to some of her autistic traits. Some of my friends who are also autistic have said this was a little triggering for them so it’s worth a heads up.
nothing fantastical happens, but the film has instances of feeling like it exists in a bit of a different reality than ours, most of which are to deliver jokes.
there is a lot of gore but i'm fairly sensitive to that sort of thing and it didn't really get to me apart from the scene where a character is heavily beaten and bloodied at a school assembly by a wrestler. if you are triggered by blood i wouldn't recommend this movie.
