The Kissing Booth put every joke in the trailer and then dared us to sit through the rest.

The chemistry in The Kissing Booth is so flat it would fail a high-school lab report.

If The Kissing Booth was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Kissing Booth actually is?
Director clearly thought The Kissing Booth was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Kissing Booth?
Everyone praising the The Kissing Booth performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: The Kissing Booth's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched The Kissing Booth last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in The Kissing Booth is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of The Kissing Booth and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
