If you’re looking for a teen comedy that isn’t a grow-up-too-fast exposure to your tweens, Kissing Booth isn’t it. But the arc of the story packs a lot of lust and relationship lessons that anybody older than 15 can relate to, and learn from.
As cinema either theatrical or televisual is concerned, The Kissing Booth is negligible. It is fascinating, though, as a study in the semiotics of the high school movie, especially in the ways it’s been recodified since “young adult” became a real genre.

Report
The high school-set rom-com is a sexist and regressive look at relationships that highlights the worst impulses of the genre.
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

"The Kissing Booth" é um filme bem cliché, mas devemos admitir que a história do "meu melhor amigo vs. irmão do meu melhor amigo" é bastante engraçada.

The Kissing Booth
Elle and Lee are lifelong friends, so when Elle falls for Lee's brother, Noah, this threatens to end their friendship.
The movie is based on a teen-authored novel, clearly targeting a teenage audience. However, this presents a problem as there are significant flaws in the storyline that younger viewers might overlook but more mature audiences would readily notice. Noah's portrayal as a toxic and dominant character raises concerns, especially since he is depicted as the romantic interest. His propensity for conflict is evident, yet the film fails to explore the underlying reasons behind this behavior.
The inclusion of the kissing booth subplot adds a touch of humor, albeit somewhat incredulous given the sensibilities about such events in schools. Furthermore, the attempt to ascribe significance to the kissing booth at the latter end of the movie feels forced and, frankly, a bit nauseating. Clearly, there's a dire need for script refinement, as the source material, while inherently youthful, could have been polished to a higher standard by the experienced adults behind the production.
In the first quarter of the movie, a subtle love triangle emerges between Elle, Lee, and Noah. However, this dynamic is abruptly disrupted when Lee enters into a relationship with another girl midway through the film, and the love triangle is hastily tossed aside. Additionally, Noah's acceptance into Harvard is comical, because he's not shown to be a serious academic, coupled with his penchant for conflict. Moreover, the final act of the movie is bogged down by an excess of melodrama.
The acting is average, nothing noteworthy, as is the norm with many teen-focused movies.
The Kissing Booth ends without any good message for audiences and doesn't even deliver on the romance as the leads don't end up together. Ultimately, we can say that audiences shouldn't do anything portrayed in this movie. With its lackluster portrayal of toxic relationships, superficial treatment of important themes, and underdeveloped, audiences will be left dissatisfied.
