The Kissing Booth Is Netflix's Worst Romance Movie

Elle’s mother is the best character. She at least had the good sense to die in the first five minutes so she didn’t have to be in this trash fire of a movie.

The movie implies that Lee doesn't want Elle dating Noah because he's insecure, but if his IMMEDIATE reaction to seeing Elle hurt was that Noah did it... I think there's another reason why

Coming from a sexual abuse victim, it's super gross that they treat her being groped as a cutesy minor little thing. That sort of thing is very traumatic and the fact that she immediately forgave him and even almost got with him says a lot about the movie.

The fact this was made by a 15 year old girl and then remade by some old man was actually crazy 💀💀

Ok but to be fair. The best friend's "don't fuck my brother" rule makes a lot of sense He's a violent, angry, creepy, sociopath.

Why is no one talking about the Abe Lincoln joke Danny made about how "he hasn't had good luck with booths in the past"? That joke was singlehandedly better than the entirety of the Kissing Booth trilogy.

The worst part is, this isn't just one bad movie It's a TRIOLOGY of bad movies

My personal theory is that while the main story was happening the dad found out the moms death was a murder so he has this gritty crime plot where he tries to find the culprit

Judging by how it only took an “I’m sorry” written on a piece of paper for Elle to forgive a guy for groping her and agree to a date with him, I think it’s fair to say her taste in guys isn’t very healthy

The fact that Lee was 100% convinced that his goblin monster brother fully attacked Elle is deeply concerning. With how rich the Flynn family is, they seem like the kind of people that cover up their insane children that murder women and just pay off enough cops to keep everyone out of jail.

i love how lee's immediate reaction to the cut on her face was “NOAH DID YOU FUCKING DO THAT” like man KNOWS that he’s the type of person to do that

I love how in almost every other movie, a man slamming his hand on the hood or roof of his car as he shouts at a woman to "GET IN THE CAR!" is universally recognized as a massive red flag. Meanwhile, this movie is like "Oooooh, he be so passionate! What a catch! <3" You can tell this story was originally written by a young teen who didn't know any better, but what's the excuse of the grown-ass adults who decided that, yes, this needs to be a movie and, no, we're not gonna make any changes to these worrying behavioral issues.

Aside from Noah, Lee is also extremely creepy. They could have made his disapproval of Noah dating Elle be about caring about her well-being because he knows his brother is an abusive asshole. But instead it boiled down to "you were the one thing I had that Noah didn't have"; like it's a rivalry game of who gets to own Elle as if she's an object. I really, really, really hate this movie

the most concerning part about the kissing booth is that it was based on a wattpad novel most likely written by a 14 year old girl that believed that all these abusive and violent behaviours were something u were supposed to be attracted to/long for, and the novel got so popular in the site that it was picked up by netflix which is even sadder

Fun fact: going near the Hollywood sign is extremely illegal , usually the closest you can ever get to it is if you're above it on the hill, you can absolutely be arrested for being infront of it, sometimes even police officers are there to guard the sign incase anyone tried to go up and vandalize lr loiter near the sign, so if this movie was realistic Elle and Noah would be arrested and the credits would play

Another big issue is that, just from what I've seen here and Cinema Therapy, it's implied that Noah has likely hurt Lee in the past Like, since they were kids, Lee was adamant about keeping Elle out of a relationship with him, probably because it would be weird, and because he's proven to be extremely violent and controlling for no reason. He sees Elle injured and immediately assumes that he did it and manipulate her to lie for him Like- doesn't it feel like that may have happened when they were kids? Noah hurt Lee and convinced him to lie to their parents about it. To everyone. And now Lee has to watch him date his best friend, anxious that it's gonna go bad

It’s so gross how the movie breezes by how elle tried to go out with a guy who literally just assaulted her

This movie would've been better if it had turned out that Lee explicitly wanted to keep El from his brother because his brother is an abusive maniac and he was just worried about her, and maybe they could tie in her mom dying to her being reckless and impulsive so at first she's into how wild Noah is, and after she's convinced he's bad for her, she throws herself at Lee, but Lee doesn't like her that way and only sees her as a friend, and the movie ends with El going to therapy and Noah, I don't know, dying or going to jail.

i keep getting hung up on the "grinding coochies" thing. Did no one in the entire production of this know what coochie means.

I love how the fighting in this movie looks genuinely brutal but in real life if a school fight even happens in the first place it just looks like two people violently hugging each other while rolling around on the floor, maybe some biting, punching, smacking, etc but mostly hugging just angry while people watch.
