THE KISSING BOOTH (2018) REVIEW
.
.
:scroll: Plot: Best of Buddies Elle and Lee share certain rules of friendship. Things turn upside when Elle breaks Rule 9 and falls for Lee's elder brother Noah.

:man:⚖ Review : The Kissing Booth is a sweet and cute romantic flick which is strictly outdated. You a see a girl falling in love with a guy and she hides the fact from her best friend and things go crazy. This seems and is very accurately a stereotypical premise which defines american rom-coms since ages. This has very little to offer but is pleasant to watch.
Joey King is adorable throughout. She as Elle is brilliant portraying herself as a girl who has never dated till senior year at school, and is always in awe when she comes across her crush. She is full of emotions and her eyes are damn expressive. Meanwhile Jacob Elordi as Noah, is simply average as the tall handsome crush of Elle . Joel Courtney is strictly ok as Elle's Best friend.
The Kissing Booth is titled Elle's life changes when she organises a fundraiser for charity named Kissing Booth. The Movie is a cute, sweet movie with loads of happy and emotional moments for audience to enjoy but lacks originality .

:thumbsdown: Bads :
Lacks Originality
Stereotypical and Clichéd Events

:fire: Final Rating : 6/10

:white_check_mark: Verdict : The Kissing Booth is a watchable movie if you like American ROM-COMs and don't mind the repetition of similar events of a typical Girl Loves Guy Story.

Review by Sara MeštrovićBlockedParentSpoilers2018-06-24T19:59:16Z
In my oppinion a good teenage movie.
When I first saw the trailer I was immidiately interested. The plot was obvious and practically mostly already in the trailer, though I expected there would be a love triangle and was so happy that there wasn't one! That just made it even better for me! I also liked how it wasn't completely plainly a romantic-comedy, and quite a lot was spinning around the friendship of Elle and Lee.
The acting wasn't the best and there were some really cringey and cliche scenes. Also the characters are a bit stereotypical (especially Noah Flynn and the OMG girls.)
But then there were also some scenes that were really so nice and great such as the hidding under the bed scene, or the whole kissing booth part of the movie.
The plot is really not bad. A few situations escalated way to quickly , such as the part when they decide to be together and slept together literally seconds after.
There are some really interesting details that make it unique to me, such as that dancing game practically being the heart of their friendship or the cute friendship rules they have. I really loved the overall relationship between her and her best friend.
I really liked the cast choice. Specially Joey King, she fit and did the character soooo well!! I found her acting spotless through out the movie! (even when she had some really cliche lines she still did them so perfectly and naturally, I am still so amazed!).
Also, I would really have loved it if Lee's girlfirend had more screentime and played at least a little bit of a bigger role then she did. The scene where she runs after Elle, I was like 'Wow, yas! Let's meet this character better and further from just being the adorable girl who was not as shallow and rude as the other girls' and then like nothing happened.It just fell through.Then there was another moment at the prom where I was like 'C'mon girl, this is your chance , say something!' and still nothing....I really hope that she was more developed in the Watpad piece.
In conclusion, a really enjoyable movie. I really found myself hooked to it for some reason even though I am not really a big fan of romantic movies. And considering it was an adaptation of a (originally) fanfiction story from Watpad (as I was informed) , I think it is amazing! Must be a really talented future (if not already a present) writter.
