The Kissing Booth

The only thing I can give for this movie is how entertaining it was. The story was interesting and the characters were alright. The love story, however, was pretty bad. Noah was a terrible main love interest for Elle. The way he tried to control her and many other things that just sent red flags that she ultimately ignored. The relationship between Lee and Elle was nice. They weren't too bad except for their insane amount of rules they wrote when they were six. Overall, it's not bad.

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.

If I had only know that loosing my virginity would make my hair go from wildy unmanageable and frizzy to smooth, sleek, voluminous, and slightly curly at the ends... damn, I would have done it sooner.

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