Critics Consensus

The Kissing Booth deploys every rom-com cliché in the book with little care given to achieving any real sentiment.

Rachel Charlene Lewis

Bitch Media

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

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

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

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: F

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.

Andrew Collins

Radio Times

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.

Rated: 3/5

This movie should just be labeled as a comedy. The cringiest movie ever. The predictability and sheer cliche plot made it absolutely laughable. I couldn’t stop laughing, this is what i imagine to be 9 year old girl gold.Absolutely horrific. Visualise all the bad preteen high school movies and put them in one and poof you have created the kissing booth. Tbf it was a good laugh.

This is not groundbreaking cinema but a good time. This movie is meant for you to shut off your brain and have a good time. I loved it when it came out and I loved it now.

Was not a pleasant movie to watch. The dialogue was cringy, almost seemed that they brought random words used by teenagers to make it seem relatable. It was not.

Couple of problems: 1. The height difference between Elle and Noah was inexcusable 2. The fact that Lee tried to not allow his best friend to date his brother was understandable, but he took things too far 3. It was so cliche I almost threw up. The ending was unsatisfying and honestly the whole movie was a complete waste of time.
