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

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

2/5
A refreshing film in its start but whose interest soon decays to end up being a mediocre movie. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Ani Bundel NBC News THINK 01/31/2019
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. Go to Full Review
Andrew Collins Radio Times 01/08/2019
3/5
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. Go to Full Review

Aline U @RT20767791 May 22 This is one of the best romcom ever! I love the romcoms with love tension and forbidden romance. I put a bit of interval like a year or two and watch it again because i don't ever want to forget it. See more av 8 @anagha.vinay May 20 This is an extremely cheesy senseless movie and Noah Flynn seems to suddenly be into Elle Evans out of the blue. The fights, the party-stripping Elle, the locker room stripping Elle, and the immensely third-wheeling Elle gives me major second-hand embarrassment. Elle was so unlikeable with all her bossiness. Noah was just meh, his character had no depth, his height was his entire personality. Speaking of which, the 33cm height difference feels so icky to watch. Kissing scenes hurt my neck from watching. Apparently all you need to get into Harvard is be 6'5 and sl*tty. This is something you can watch if you just wanna be a couch potato for the day (or crochet on the side). See more Christina D. @NinaNinaBobina May 3 It has ridiculous storylines, and it’s unbelievably gratuitous to it’s core. With that being said, I would watch Jacob Elordi read a dictionary backwards. See more Raziel T @RT12506642 Apr 24 It's an absolutely stupid film with an absolutely stupid premise and an absolutely stupid concoction of stupidity. Do not take it seriously - it's not meant to be taken seriously. It's stupid, it's corny, it's fun. Fun to watch with friends! See more Amaechi D @RT94659149 Apr 10 This movie is trash Why does it have every single romantic stereotype in one film? It's a very cringe worthy show that I personally can't sit down and watch comfortably. Or maybe I just hate stereotypical highschool rom coms.
