The Kissing Booth

If you want to experience a fifteen year old girls fantasy, this is it!! :) For that it like it, kind of. The acting is even pretty good, given that the writing is clumsy.

I've been seeing this movie around the internet for a while, and a lot of people said that it was great, so I gave it a try. I was expecting it to be a proper rom-com teenage movie, but instead it was a cringey movie which was romanticizing a possible problematic relationship. Noah, who was the love interest of the main character, was very controlling even before they were in a relationship. On the other hand, the main character was just as bossy. There were a lot of cringe-worthy moments in this movie, especially with a lot of lines and with the party scene. The actors were great, though it felt weird that the leading man looked like a 20+ old guy trying to get a 15 year-old girl through cheesy and cliche lines. All in all, this movie had potential, but not enough to become a sensational rom-com movie.

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. I actually came to write I think my third? review on this site after 10 years because I'm so confused.

Is this explained in the book or something? Did he do something other than kiss/sleep with a lot of girls?

It's as if the Hallmark channel tried to make an R rated movie while keeping it PG.

Sexist and victim blaming. Not appropriate in this 'me too' culture.
