TheKissing Booth 3 could have gone out on a conventional romantic note — say, ending on a kiss — as if to suggest that Elle and Noah will grow old and gray together. Instead, the film leaves things frustratingly uncertain, inventing a whole new list of college ambitions for Elle that hadn't even been hinted at until now. TheKissing Booth was panned by critics. [9] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 15% based on 13 reviews, with an average rating of 4.1/10. The website's critics consensus reads: " The Kissing Booth deploys every rom-com cliché in the book with little care given to achieving any real sentiment." [10] Its here that The Kissing Booth 2 tiptoes into pure absurdism, as Shelley and Lee try their hand at competitive Dance Dance Revolution.

Movie Reviews By Reviewer Type All Critics Top Critics All Audience Verified Audience Prev Next [Noah and Elle's] relationship quickly spirals into one of those classic toxic relationships that populate Netflix's teen dramas. 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. Full Review May 11, 2018 Prev Next Do you think we mischaracterized a critic's review? These questions and more are unceremoniously wrapped up in the final entry to its namesake saga, “The Kissing Booth 3.” To Marcello and and co-writer Jay S. Arnold’s credit, there are a handful of surprises that defy some of the more expected youthful rom-com tropes. But the rest is a lot of the same teenage romantic tribulations we’ve seen before. If “The Kissing Booth 2” was overstuffed with high school drama, its successor reaches to make the most of old tensions over the summer break. Noah is once again threatened by Marco, and Lee is once again acting like a child because his best friend, who is also holding down a job and taking care of her young brother, isn’t paying enough attention to him. It’s so tiresome, that when Elle finally stands up for herself, it’s an all-too-brief reprieve from the boys’ antics. More tiresome are some of the shenanigans that these Gen Z kids get into. The annoying list of friendship rules are back with an addendum a list of random summer activities essentially cooked up by Elle to make Lee happy. For reasons I cannot explain, this includes a contest to see who can drink the most frozen drinks the fastest and survive the ensuing brain freeze, a helium-induced karaoke number that somehow brings the house down, and orchestrating a choreographed flash mob, which feels like a blast from the past decade—which could be said for many of the movie’s needle-drops. The only set piece that manages to be more creative than exhausting is a go-kart race based on the video game "Mario Kart," but only if you’re alright with the fact the kids, as they do in the game, throw items to make their competitors crash. Gentlemen, learning a TikTok dance was right there. King, who normally tries her best to sell Elle’s growing pains of young love, looks a little more checked out this time. She's left behind the wide-eyed optimism of the previous chapters for an Elle who seems so tired by it all, she can do little more than cry or snap at the new woman dating her dad. Elordi’s cool hot boyfriend shtick also seems similarly tired. His character’s macho posturing is less about connecting with Elle than being too insecure with her. Courtney seems to be the only one fully committed to his character, which unfortunately, doesn’t seem to have matured much from when he first protested over his best friend dating his brother. Even perennial scene saver Molly Ringwald, as the boys’ mother Mrs. Flynn, isn’t around for most of the movie to smooth over ruffled feathers and bruised egos. It’s hard to believe the cinematography of these movies could get worse, but believe me, it does. Likely due to the pandemic or a tight schedule, a number of close-ups of Elle, Lee, and Noah clearly have green-screened backgrounds, looking about as unnatural as many things in the story. There’s one climatic showdown, set in front of the Hollywood Hills sign, that really defies any sort of reason. It’s not so much spectacle or camp, it's just silly. For this last go-around, Marcello committed to the series’ cheaply saccharine premise and only half-heartedly tried to make it look better than an old Aéropostale from the aughts, focusing his camera on mostly white young people except for Marco and Chloe against the backdrop of a coastal sun-soaked California. “The Kissing Booth 3” has about as much depth as one of those ads. After the sand has been shaken out of shoes and final smiles have been pointed at the camera, there’s not really much more to the movie. Just a boy, a girl, and the looks they trade with each other.

The streaming giant won acclaim for series like “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” and one-offs like “Set It Up,” but its romcom picks are just as prone to flaming out as setting the world on fire. While Vince Marcello’s 2018 adaptation of Beth Reekles’ YA novel “The Kissing Booth” scored big in terms of viewership, critical appraisals were not so kind; with a 17 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is one of Netflix’s worst-reviewed originals. Critics aside, the streamer gave the people what they want. Joey King returns to star in a sequel to the high school romcom —and “The Kissing Booth 2” is better than its predecessor, but that’s hardly a big ask. While the first film was rife with sexist rhetoric, casual slut-shaming, and a “bad boy” lead who never met a put-down or a punch he didn’t like, its sequel tones down the offensive BS, finding something sweeter and far more enjoyable in the process. Even for audiences not turned off by the regressive attitudes of the original, its oddly aggressive tone was never, well, romantic, a misstep that Marcello now attempts to rectify. And yet the greatest strength of “The Kissing Booth 2,” an overstuffed clocking in at a whopping 132 minutes mishmash of genre tropes and tricks, isn’t its many romances; it’s King, who finally gets to spread her wings and her comedic chops. Picking up just 27 days after the conclusion of “The Kissing Booth” — a series of zippy montages catch us up on what’s happened since Noah Jacob Elordi headed off to college after a blissful summer with Elle King — the sequel leans into its change of heart early. Noah is a new man read a dedicated boyfriend who shows no signs of his past history of cheating, trash talk, and getting into fights and is heading off to Harvard, despite his discomfort leaving Elle, who is gearing up for her senior year and already seems alight with more agency and confidence. While “The Kissing Booth” focused on their forbidden romance, mostly steeped in the weirdness of Elle going for her best friend Lee’s Joel Courtney big brother a secret relationship that put a temporary ding in the duo’s lifelong bond, “TKB2” is more concerned with what happens now that their romance is affirmed and accepted. Attempting to be more mature, Elle opts to give Noah his space — but that move keeps the gossip hounds talking, and makes Noah wonder if the pair are really meant to be. Enter a pair of sexy potential rivals Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Noah’s college pal Chloe, Taylor Zakhar Perez as Elle’s new classmate Marco, and the film’s aim seems pretty clear. “The Kissing Booth 2”Marcos Cruz/Netflix “The Kissing Booth 2” also folds in a long and repetitive subplot involving Lee’s girlfriend Rachel Meganne Young, a trip to Boston, drama about which college Elle wants to attend, and an incredibly long section that sees Elle and Marco attempt to win a massive virtual dance competition. Again, with 132 minutes to fill, there’s plenty here. It’s not all good. And then there’s the series of bizarre perspective shifts in which the film is suddenly being told by Noah, or the film’s insistence on yet another titular kissing booth, shoehorned in at the last possible moment. More happens in the film’s first hour than in some full seasons of television, suggesting that “The Kissing Booth” might have fared better as an episodic offering rather than an overstuffed film franchise that never finds its footing. Other missteps will surely be familiar to fans of the first film, including that “The Kissing Booth 2” suffers from a classic case of being a “high school” film oddly populated by stars long out of the school system while King, Courtney, and Elordi are all in their early twenties, many of their co-stars are not, and the effect of seeing obvious adults traipsing through teenage drama is nothing short of bizarre. Even during its best bits, the film never coalesces into a workable whole. At least that allows for some wacky fun, with King getting to flex her comedic muscles a scene in which she waxes poetic about Marco’s body is both out of place and a welcome injection of pure comedy into this lighter sequel. It also makes space for some very big dramas, and the film’s last half is filled with genuinely shocking moments, the kind that land with an enough impact like a wrenching Thanksgiving dinner to suggest that “The Kissing Booth 2,” for all it messiness, might have some sneaky emotional weight to it. “The Kissing Booth 2”Marcos Cruz/Netflix Still, that doesn’t keep the film from being predictable, even as it continues to pile on the complications. While it offers some necessary growth for all of its characters, “The Kissing Booth 2” can never resist looking and acting like dozens of other offerings of its genre ilk, unable to grow beyond basic complications and done-to-death dramas. And yet there are hints that its evolution has a few more tricks left to employ, its winking conclusion only one of them. Minor spoilers ahead. Much like its predecessor, “The Kissing Booth 2” sets up for a sequel. While “The Kissing Booth” offered something of an open-ended conclusion, the latest chapter all but begs for at least one more edition. This time, however, that possibility seems less like a threat, and more of a chance for some rare franchise redemption. Grade C+ “The Kissing Booth 2” is now streaming on Netflix. 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.
