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.

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

NBC News THINK

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

The kissing booth is a rom-com directed by Vince Marcello in 2018 the lead actors other than her are Joey King place the rôle of Ella Evans y Jacob Elordi place the role of Noah Flynn and Joel Courtney place the role of Lee Flynn It's the story of two brothers, one of whom has had a best friend since birth the other is a bad boy but falls in love with the best friend in question Noah flynn y Ella Evans live their love story behind the back of Lee Flynn but this brings them problems I think it's a good film mixing love and comedy. The actors play quite well despite their great ages for their roles as teenagers. The sets are pretty good except in some shots where the green background is too present. Finally, this film is cool to watch to spend a funny and exciting time

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Hard to Rate The acting was good, for the type of movie it was. The chemistry was great. I liked all of the main characters, but the writers WTF? They blamed the love interest for what the main female character was responsible for? WTF? Did I miss why everyone hated the love interest as well? I mean, sure, maybe they didn't think he was right for her, I get that, but they all seemed to actively DISLIKE him. EVERYONE in the mc's life hated him. I didn't get that at all.

Elle and Noah relationship is not only extremely toxic, but is also barely legal, wich made me uncomfortable most of the movie. Lee character is just so dumb, how tf he doesn´t realize that the rules they made when they were kids are so stupid?
