High school senior Elle Evans ( Joey King) has just spent the ^{Movie Review You can’t help you who love. Or so they say. But is that really true? Take Elle and Lee, for instance. They’re best friends … thanks to their mothers, who were also the best of friends. On top of that, Elle and Lee were born on the same day. They love to hang out. They love to dance. They’re best friends forever. And they’ve created a list of rules to make sure that fact will never change. Friendship, of course, is their top priority. But sometimes rules can be bent, can’t they? Especially if your lifetime crush is your best friend’s older brother, Noah. Right? But Noah’s off limits. At least until a kissing booth—one that’s disguised as a school fundraiser—changes all the rules. Suddenly, Elle must decide what’s more important friendship or love. Positive Elements Elle and Lee share a sweetly close friendship. And the rule sheet they came up with when they were young has indeed helped their friendship to thrive over the years. For example, Rule 16 says that your best friend should be able to know what’s going on in your life. And both Elle and Lee are equally protective of one another and try to make each other happy. Rule 18 “Always be happy for your bestie’s successes.” A handful of other guys also have protective attitudes toward Elle. That said, she gradually learns to stick up for herself and tries to get a handle on what’s most valuable in her life as well. Elle also tries to encourage Noah to be a better person. And she faithfully stays by her mother’s side when she’s in the hospital. Lee and Noah’s mother emphasizes the importance of forgiveness. She tells Elle that arguments and disagreements are normal and must be resolved. Noah, for his part, apologizes to his brother and those he has hurt. He also mentions that he’s going to see multiple counselors. Someone chases off bullies for his friend. Spiritual Elements Someone jokes about Miley Cyrus becoming a nun. Sexual Content Despite a few positive moments, The Kissing Booth largely revolves around the theme of teens’ physical relationships with each other. At times, it feels as if Elle is practically looking for opportunities to shed her clothes. At a high school party, for instance, she disrobes down to her bra and underwear. After her pants rip in one scene, she dons a very short skirt that reveals her underwear-clad backside. A guy grabs her there, and Noah crudely quips that she was “asking for it.” She also yells, “My boobs are fantastic!” in a family setting. She’s shown on her bed wearing nothing but a towel. At one point, it almost appears as if she’s unclothed. Elle also struts around in a locker room filled with guys wearing just her bra and a skirt. Noah is also shown wearing next to nothing once, and draped in only a towel elsewhere. His chest is visible. In another scene, he appears to be completely naked, sitting on a chair, and the camera shows everything but his genital region. And we’re not done yet. One morning, Elle wakes up in Noah’s bed and thinks they slept together. He informs her that he slept elsewhere. That scene shows her in his shirt and her underwear. Later, while rolling around on the ground together, she touches his covered crotch, which she says was an “accidental groping.” When Elle and Noah finally begin a relationship, they kiss thanks to the kissing booth and make out a lot. They also take off each other’s shirts and then spend the night together. Elle talks about having had sex with him. They wake up outside covered in blankets. Elle is shown buying condoms. We see her on top of Noah, and it looks as though they’re having sex. There are sounds and movements. Elle steals a security tape that has captured video images of her and Noah presumably having sex at school. Though Elle asks herself a lot of questions about her relationship with Noah, in the end she suggests that she’s OK with being just “another one of his conquests.” Elle casually lies to Lee and tells him she was watching porn, and he asks to watch with her. Girls wear bikinis and other revealing outfits, and guys are seen shirtless and in their boxers. The camera zooms in on a guy’s rear end. Lee jokingly says, “Any excuse to cross-dress, and I’m in.” And in one scene, Lee does wear a dress. Two guys have an obvious attraction to each other and dance together. Close-ups show guys and girls kissing including shots that show tongues entangled at the kissing booth. A guy tells a girl not to grind on her love interest’s genitals. A girl talks about getting her first bra and her first period. A guy is called a “perv,” and he texts something inappropriate but we don’t see what it is. A male athlete’s “sports cup” is mentioned. A girl says that kissing gives you cold sores. Other conversations include references to the male and female anatomy. A girl is called a “slut” and a “ho.” Violent Content Noah gets into multiple fist fights. We see him punch a guy in the face several times. Noah is also extremely controlling and aggressive with Elle; at one point he shouts at her and slams his fists in frustration. Lee accuses Noah of hitting Elle though he doesn’t actually do so. Someone dies from cancer. A young boy breaks his leg as a child. Someone falls out of a window. Crude or Profane Language The f-word is used three times, and the s-word more than 10 times. God’s name is misused about half a dozen times. Jesus’ name is misused once. Other profanities include multiple uses of “a–,” “d–k,” “d–mit,” “d–n,” “h—,” “b–ch” and “douche.” Someone exclaims, “Holy crap!” Drug and Alcohol Content High school students attend numerous house and beach parties and drink hard liquor, beer once doing keg stands and shots. No one in the film seems to care that there is a ton of underage drinking going on. Elle gets very drunk at a party. Someone thinks taking an antacid will help a hangover. Other Negative Elements The parents in the film seem to be virtually absent and completely oblivious to their teens’ reckless choices. Elle hides under Noah’s bed at one point after sneaking into his room. Parents’ voices and opinions don’t matter at all, and they’re never around to guide their children or shape their values. At one point, Elle’s dad makes it clear that he doesn’t approve of Noah but tells the young man that it is Elle’s choice. It’s good that he cares about his daughter’s feelings in this one instance, at least, but the rest of the movie makes it seem as if he couldn’t care less and has absolutely no power to speak into Elle’s life or to establish boundaries for her. There’s a lot of lying going on throughout most of the film, especially by Elle. That said, she eventually confesses some things to her father. And Elle will do anything to fit in. Disturbingly, Noah “doesn’t allow” other guys to be anywhere near Elle, even though they’re not even dating. His controlling behavior is normalized throughout the entire film. Girls are rude to one another. Various characters use others for personal gain. Guys and girls sneak around together. A boy sneezes, and mucus flies into a girl’s face. Someone sets off a stink bomb. A boy gets multiple wedgies and is hit in the face with a soccer ball. Conclusion Let’s cut to the chase The Kissing Booth is a disaster on every level. Not only is it a terrible movie artistically currently at 13% on Rotten Tomatoes, it sets an equally terrible example for teens about what constitutes normal adolescent behavior. I’ve seen a lot of movies. But watching this as an adult made me feel very uncomfortable. I didn’t want to see these teenagers taking off their clothes and having sex. I didn’t want to see Elle buying condoms. I didn’t want to see them getting very drunk as if it was the most natural thing in the world. I didn’t want to see Elle’s pseudo-boyfriend treat her like a piece of property. I didn’t want to hear them continually use harsh profanity. Watching this movie also raised a lot of questions for me. Where are the parents throughout this entire film? Why do they seem to have no clue about what’s going on? Why is Elle always taking her clothes off whenever she has the chance? Why is a guy’s sexual harassment dismissed by school officials with a casual detention? And why does no one other than Lee have a problem with how controlling and aggressive Noah is? Like I said The Kissing Booth is a disaster—especially for the target audience Netflix has aimed this TV-14 at. Suffice it to say it’s not appropriate for 14-year-olds … or, really, anyone else, for that matter.

Full Review Mar 16, 2021 A refreshing film in its start but whose interest soon decays to end up being a mediocre movie. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review Original Score 2/5 Apr 3, 2019 The director seemed to have a strange fascination with the lead taking off her shirt and wearing super short skirts, and the camera lingered on her in ways that made me uncomfortable. Full Review Original Score F Feb 25, 2019 It feels like it was written by someone who simply digested everything she was told "romance" was supposed to be by the patriarchy, and vomited back at us. Nearly every cliché in the film feels cribbed from another movie. Full Review Jan 31, 2019 A smattering of swearing, sexual references and underage drinking means it doesn't patronise its intended audience, and it refreshingly allows the female lead to be the dork, rather than some unobtainable Venus. Full Review Original Score 3/5 Jan 8, 2019 Largely for its pre-teen audience as its flaws will likely stand out like an unwanted cold sore on prom night for those outside of its target demographic. Full Review Original Score 4/10 Jul 7, 2018 I can confirm that it's not a good film. In fact, its themes are at times unsettling. Full Review Jun 21, 2018 In another film, the sentiment would be a romantic one. In The Kissing Booth, it feels like a cage. Full Review Original Score D May 31, 2018 Allusions to The Breakfast Club in the soundtrack and the casting of Molly Ringwald certainly don't help The Kissing Booth look anything other than lazy and amateur next to other teen classics. Full Review May 28, 2018 Quirky romcom has strong language, teen drinking, sex. Full Review Original Score 3/5 May 22, 2018 Tone-shifting "cute" teen rom-com that becomes less young teen suitable and more clumsy and ham-handed, the longer it runs. Full Review Original Score 2/4 May 17, 2018 [The Kissing Booth's] troubling treatment of the female body and unrealistic representation of high school hinders its ability to accomplish anything meaningful. Full Review Original Score 1/5 May 15, 2018 The Kissing Booth is not a good movie. It is a good, drunk, mindless, late night rom-com watch, but it is not a good movie. For that, we say skip it.

Filmyang diperankan oleh Joey King, Joel Courtney dan Jacob Elordi ini menceritakan tentang persahabatan Elle Evans dan Lee Flynn serta hubungan diam-diam Elle dengan Noah di film pertamanya. The Kissing Booth bahkan berhasil menjadi salah satu film original Netflix yang paling banyak ditonton ulang pada tahun penayangannya.

^{The Kissing Booth franchise, unlike other similarly flimsy high school rom-coms, refuses to pretend that teenagers aren’t mad, libidinous beasts 80% of the time. Instead of neutering his adolescent love birds — a fate reserved for the simpering leads of Netflix’s Tall Girl, Sierra Burgess Is a Loser and the To All the Boys I Loved Before series — The Kissing Booths director Vince Marcello leans into the hormonal calamity of youth and all its sweaty, sticky bilge. The frothy film, which became a hit for Netflix in 2018 and spurred the platform’s foray into cheaply made romantic teen comedies, brazenly features an unremarkable teen girl who — gasp! — actually has uncomplicated sex for the first time mid-film and then continues to have uncomplicated sex for the rest of the story. That’s not to say that the comedy and its 2020 successor, The Kissing Booth 2, aren’t dithering trifles. They are. And that’s fine. But it’s practically a revelation to watch films of this ilk fully embrace the fantasy of the horny, hetero female underdog. Namely, a story where a a late-blooming protagonist, fully ensconced in the world of boys, never has to worry about her relationships with other girls; b this girl can suddenly enjoy the pleasures of her newfound sexual capital and the attentions of the male gaze without her peers ever condemning her as a “slut”; and c she can perform her sexuality for multiple audiences by making out with chiseled hotties on stage at various public events. The Bottom Line Frothy and puttering, but its attention to female sexuality distinguishes it. Release date Jul 24, 2020 Elle Evans Joey King, a bubbly, extroverted dork in the vein of Full Houses Kimmy Gibbler, finally gets to show the world her classmates that she’s a sexual commodity and never experiences an ounce of tragicomic humiliation in the process. Why, it’s practically a dream. In The Kissing Booth, a different sort of love triangle, Elle faces turmoil when she must choose between her loyalty to her platonic BFF, Lee Joel Courtney, and her animal sexual chemistry with his thorny brother, Noah Euphorias Jacob Elordi. After sixteen years of invisibility, arcade dance game enthusiast Elle finally, uh, fills out and draws the interest of her entire private school, including gruff, womanizing jock Noah, who claims to be protecting Elle from his horndog buddies. Elle and Lee create a kissing booth for a school fundraiser, and through a series of Shakespearian mishaps, she ends up blindfolded passionately snogging Noah in front of her peers. From there, she and Noah soon enjoy the thrills of a secret affair while avoiding controlling and codependent Lee, who, for some obscure reason, threatens to end his friendship with Elle if she ever breaks their “rule” about dating each other’s relatives. The film ends with the unintentionally hilarious image of Joey King riding off into the distance on her boyfriend’s motorcycle. Adapted from Beth Reekles’ novel of the same name, The Kissing Booth doesn’t take a lot of brain power, but it’s still more emotionally urgent than its puttering sequel, which features a lot of 17-year-old-style navel-gazing about “meant to be.” Why on earth is this film two hours and twelve minutes long? With Noah off to Harvard and faraway from his Los Angeleno girlfriend, Elle must contend with college admissions, her barnacle of a best friend and a temptress with a guitar named Marco Taylor Perez. The Kissing Booth 2 wades into the quagmire of what happens when the glow fades from a new relationship, hitting the same wan beats as To All the Boys I Still Love You by providing Elle an object of sexual jealousy to ruminate over Noah’s picture-perfect college friend Chloe, played by Maisie Richardson-Sellers and a musical hunk to bond with aforementioned new kid Marco, who sings pretty songs but, more importantly, is an expert at Dance Dance Revolution. She eventually teams up with Marco to enter a dance game competition and win money to attend college. The Kissing Booth franchise refuses to develop any characters beyond its three main players, which renders the sequel’s subplot about Lee’s girlfriend Rachel Meganne Young resenting the claustrophobic closeness between the besties effectively dead on arrival. The writers also try to squeeze in a “heartwarming” storyline about two male high school red shirts falling for each other, but I wasn’t even entirely sure if these characters had names. The universe of this West prep school is also afflicted with teen flick clichés, from a trio of rich mean girls whose clique has its own cutesy epithet to Elle swooning over paternalistic boys who just want to look after her. Her dead mother is a narrational fashion accessory and she seems to have no interest in any person that isn’t a cis male. The film climaxes on another wildly exhibitionistic kiss, this time in front of thousands of people. The script’s most painfully vexing moment a laughless extended gag where Elle word vomits about how hot Marco is unknowingly over the school’s loudspeaker. The film’s most incongruously sentimental moment an arcade-set sequence where she and Marco bop around on a neon-flashing dance machine while sweeping, romantic violins overtake the audio. Embarrassing loudmouths can get it, too, I guess. As I might have said during my own high school days, The Kissing Booth 2 is “mad stupid,” but it’s still not as overtly slappable as Netflix’s other low-budget teen comedies. The only thing I truly want to slap here is that turtle-shell-like biker helmet off Elle’s grinning head.
