This movie is one of the most atrocious movies I've seen. This has a horrible plot, yet no starting point, it's literally jumbled up as of right now. I really only like the characters, but the acting is just too much. This movie is reallyThis movie is one of the most atrocious movies I've seen.

"The Kissing Booth" é um filme bem cliché, mas devemos admitir que a história do "meu melhor amigo vs. irmão do meu melhor amigo" é bastante engraçada.

Una de las películas más pedorras de Netflix, trama estúpida y ridícula de principio a fin.

It's undercut a bit by the "oh boo hoo, the problems of extremely rich white kids in LA" factor and some of the clunky voice-overs, but Kissing Booth manages to win the audience over as a charming and fun romcom that doesn't dumb it down toIt's undercut a bit by the "oh boo hoo, the problems of extremely rich white kids in LA" factor and some of the clunky voice-overs, but Kissing Booth manages to win the audience over as a charming and fun romcom that doesn't dumb it down to much for it's audience.

Not too bad of a movie. If you like teen romance it's pretty good. The story was decent. The acting could have been a little bit better though. Overall I'd watch it again.

It has it's moments, Joey King and Jacob Elordi have great chemistry. It's your typical high school rom-com

The fact that this movie almost exclusively comprised of cliches and poor writing isn't the worst part. That would be how it seems to normalize sexual assault and even tries to romanticize abuse.

That would be how it seems to normalize sexual assault and even tries to romanticize abuse. It's worrying that this was meant for teenaged girls, and even more worrying that it was considered successful enough to get a sequel.… Expand

Really bad movie with terrible characters, plot, messages, and overall writing. The sequel is even worse. I do not recommend it at all.

Um clichê nada interessante e esquecível. O melhor amigo da protagonista é cafona e parece querer controlar a vida dela a todo instante. O filme em si é bem raso.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe the director Vince Marcello was able to include a meaningful message within the film that resonated to its intended audience as Elle has a decision to make; listen to her best friend, or listen to her heart. This movie is a stereotypical romantic comedy through and through. However, many of
the film’s critics believe that it is distasteful and inappropriate. One of the film’s critics, Tess
Cagle of The Daily Dot condemns the film due to “its troubling treatment of the female body”. In
one scene Elle is smacked on the butt and is punished just as much as her harasser. This movie is
regressive in the fashion in which they treat situations such as this. When Elle gets the unwanted
slap on the butt, she is told that she was “asking for it” by wearing a skirt. For this section of the
film, I agree with Cagle, and I was disappointed that the film would joke about sexual
harassment. However, it did bring to light many real life situations that occur in high school.
While it can be seen as disappointing, it should be taken as a learning experience. Parents that
watch this movie will learn of the troubling situations that happen in high school. They should
use it to teach their sons to respect women and to teach their daughters to not stand for unfair
treatment from the school. Additionally, it shows members of society that sexual harassment is
still a prevalent issue in high schools. Parents should see this film to understand situations that
their children may face. This movie deserves credit for bringing to light this issue instead of
ignoring.
Cagle also claims that the movie’s “unrealistic representation of high school hinders its
ability to accomplish anything meaningful” and I disagree with this statement. The
representation of high school is very accurate. When this film first came out, I was still in high
school and I found that many of the scenes that took place in the film were relatable. I found
myself laughing along to many of the awkward scenes that truly happen in high school, whether
that be walking into the wrong locker room or awkward confrontations. As a result, high
schoolers and those looking for the nostalgia from high school would highly enjoy this movie.
Additionally, it showed me that I was not alone in some of the things that I had to go through
such as being ignored by a best friend. This movie is reassuring to watch as a high schooler as it
proves that everything will work out in the end. This film also sends a meaningful message that
gives people another reason to watch.
This film set the theme of making your own choices despite peer pressure. Elle is
pressured and controlled by pretty much everyone in the film, from Lee’s rule of not dating his
brother to her classmates shaming her for dating Noah. I believe that these older critics do not
understand how much peer pressure can influence a high school student. Elle ultimately makes
the decisions to date Noah because it makes her happy. Elle being able to break away from peer
pressure is an important message. She goes against the desires of her best friend and other
opinionated peers and chooses to do what makes her happy. The message that is sent across is
that personal decisions should be made for your happiness despite the thoughts others is
important for high schoolers to hear. As a result, this movie provides insight to high schoolers
that feel overwhelmed with pressure.
The Kissing Booth is a great movie and is more than just a romantic comedy with a happy
ending. The film allows parents to see the reality of high school. It gives parents a window into
the reality of what high school is like and will allow them to understand their children more.
Additionally, it gives students some insight as to how to respond when they are faced with so
much peer pressure. Cagle believes that, “teen flicks usually make adults cringe—and this one is
especially unwatchable”. However, the intended audience is high school students, so it makes
sense for adults to cringe when watching this film. From the outside, they do not understand the
culture and reality of high school. Therefore, this movie is more understood and enjoyable to the
younger population. I know I learned how to deal with peer pressure better as a result of the film.
The Kissing Booth is a must-watch for high schoolers looking to gain self-confidence in their
own decisions. This movie sends an important message to high schoolers: in spite of peer
pressure and the desire to fit in, making your own decisions, will lead to self happiness.… Expand
