Review of The Kissing Booth (2018) by K B — 02 Jun 2018

I watched this last night on netflix. It was better than I thought. There are references to breakfast club and a few other movies throughout the flick. It is cute. Some people have said that the movie isn't very good or it objectifies abusive tendencies towards women.

I didn't see that; instead, I saw the character of "elle" stand up for herself, have a healthy relationship with her Bff, and determine her own path. the evans and flynns have a unique family relationship that is lacking in today's society and that is very welcoming.

the parents are involved in their children's lives and are supportive in ways that many of today aren't. they allow their children to make their own decisions. the few things that I didn't like about the movie was noah's constant fighting, some of the strong language, the idea of teen sex, and the typical rich kid vs everyone else stereotype.

And lastly, I was a bit confused. I thought elle and her bff were younger than noah; the prom scene confused me because it gave off the appearance that they were all in the same class. again, this is a teen flick and not meant to be oscar worthy.

worth the rental. I would like to see the three leads do more in their future. recommended movie to watch.
