Critics Consensus

The Kissing Booth deploys every rom-com cliché in the book with little care given to achieving any real sentiment.

Rachel Charlene Lewis

Bitch Media

[Noah and Elle's] relationship quickly spirals into one of those classic toxic relationships that populate Netflix's teen dramas.

In another film, the sentiment would be a romantic one. In The Kissing Booth, it feels like a cage.

Rated: D

A refreshing film in its start but whose interest soon decays to end up being a mediocre movie. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: F

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.

Andrew Collins

Radio Times

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.

Rated: 3/5

I cannot comprehend what trash I have just watched. This is the president of the sexually driven, low budget "romance" movies that have destroyed the romcom genre. The only nice thing in this movie is the cute montage at the start of the movie.

This movie is really bad. I was forced to watch this with my ex and i just slept through the first and the second because of how boring and cringy they were.. she had to cheat on me and make me watch these shitty movies.. I guess i should've taken it as a red flag when she made me watch this.

Truly one of the worst films i have ever sat through…bordering on hilarious for it’s unbelievability and tired, modern tropes. Not worth the watch.

This movie should just be labeled as a comedy. The cringiest movie ever. The predictability and sheer cliche plot made it absolutely laughable. I couldn’t stop laughing, this is what i imagine to be 9 year old girl gold.Absolutely horrific. Visualise all the bad preteen high school movies and put them in one and poof you have created the kissing booth. Tbf it was a good laugh.

This is not groundbreaking cinema but a good time. This movie is meant for you to shut off your brain and have a good time. I loved it when it came out and I loved it now.
