Skip it. The Kissing Booth is a predictable teen romance that leans hard into tired tropes—forbidden love, best friend drama, the 'hot bad boy'—without offering anything fresh or genuinely funny. If you've seen one Netflix teen rom-com, you've basically seen this one.

Plot

When teenager Elle's first kiss leads to a forbidden romance with the hottest boy in high school, she risks her relationship with her best friend.

Director: Vince Marcello

Cast: Joey King, Joel Courtney, Jacob Elordi, Molly Ringwald, Stephen Jennings
