The Kissing Booth Review

Review of The Kissing Booth (2018) by screenqueeen: 👎 2.5/5

Just the absolute dumbest shit to ever get the film treatment. The third movie in this series (!!!) was announced the day or so before watching this one. This has all your dumb high school and hallmark movie beats plus a ridiculously outdated school fair activity that gives the films the KISSING BOOTH name.

In this installment the kissing booth barely has anything to do with furthering the complicated relationship it's telling us Elle, Noah and Lee have (and yeah I had to look up their names again because fuck me if I can't remember). You can remove the actual kissing booth buildup and sequence and this shit would still have happened. Still, carry on with this mediocre premise and dramatic storytelling device because it can't necessarily be much trashier than this.
