Leave your thoughts about The Kissing Booth.
| UproxxDustin RowlesI can confirm that it's not a good film. In fact, its themes are at times unsettling. |
| Radio TimesAndrew CollinsA 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. |
| indieWireKate ErblandThe high school-set rom-com is a sexist and regressive look at relationships that highlights the worst impulses of the genre. |
| Film InquiryZoe CrombieAllusions to The Breakfast Club in the soundtrack and the casting of Molly Ringwald certainly don't help The Kissing Booth look anything other than lazy and amateur next to other teen classics. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIf 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. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesLargely for its pre-teen audience as its flaws will likely stand out like an unwanted cold sore on prom night for those outside of its target demographic. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyAs 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. |
| The Daily DotTess Cagle[The Kissing Booth's] troubling treatment of the female body and unrealistic representation of high school hinders its ability to accomplish anything meaningful. |
