Her dad was awesome, he stood up for his new wife and he told Elle exactly what she needed to hear. But it's irrelevant later on, and most of the fans (yes there are some) see her dad as the nasty old dad who doesn't understand what it's like to be a teenager.

Honestly, this series sounded like it had two writers who hated each other. There are moments that seem surprisingly well written, where characters are accurately called out for their shitty behavior, but then it’s undone by some bullshit. It’s as if one writer is trying to make a fleshed-out teen drama, and the other is trying to write a generic teen romance.

I still feel that's the better cliche than "come on Dad, mom's been dead for half a year, get over it and start dating again!" that some other movies have done. Just kinda weird to hear the kids try to pimp out their dad, while also showing that they got over the death of their mother far easier, which is also messed up.

[@giephphe8406]

I gotta be honest, I was really surprised at the fact that Noah didn't attack Marco after Marco punched him, like he usually would do. It actually made me go "Wait, did he just get character development?" Like even though it may have been by complete accident on the writer's part, it actually made me feel something for a character from The Kissing Booth. It seems that Noah is the one that got the most character development and actually grew as a person. That's a bigger twist than Shyamalan could've ever cooked up!

[@positivea9111]

Yeah when Marco punch him I say “Welp your dead.”

[@BlueEyedSilverWolf1]

My biggest question throughout the movie was why did Elle feel like she had to include Marco in her bucket list activities? Knowing what happened between them and Noah being understandably unhappy that his girlfriend is still hanging around the person she cheated on him with at the dance competition. It's so annoying that half of the problems Elle faces in these movies are problems she started in the first place.

[@youtube-kit9450]

@@tiepzz326 Oh, that's simple. Because she's a self-absorbed toxic dumpsterfire of a human who has zero regard for others. She doesn't care how much she hurts Noah by having the guy she cheated with on him around and being so lovey-dovey with him, she doesn't care that she strings along Marco even though she doesn't want him. Heck, she may have strung him along in case Noah breaks up so she has some other man-meat to ride because that seems all she seems to care about. In general, no clue why "comedy" and especially "rom-com" movies always need to have the biggest wastes of human life as protagonists. If you're gonna have such people, make a joke out of it like in Anchorman, at least.

Just because you're good at playing video game and enjoy playing them doesn't mean video game design is the career for you. It frustrates me that whenever someone likes video games, "make games yourself" is always the next step. No. Its not. It can be, but its not always. There are plenty of people who design games that aren't super into playing them and plenty of people who play games that would have absolutely no fun designing them. And how good or bad you are at games has no correlation to that.

Fun fact: tuition at Harvard is actually far less than you cited in your google search, since their financial aid structure is based on a flat percentage of your family's household income - so while their listed price was $71,650 for that year, the majority of students paid far less. Still not something you can afford with a summer of waitress work, of course, and given the lifestyles of the people in these movies, their parents are probably millionaires to begin with.

Rich kids will have to pay full tuition unless they're over 25 or their parents make donations which would probably exceed that amount.

We weren’t super close but I thought she was a good person. When we were sophomores though, I became friends with a guy that she liked and then she began to threaten me to stay away. The guy wasn’t even a good guy. I dropped him as a friend about half way through the school year because he was a bully. I was even trying to tell her “He’s not worth it. He’s not a good guy” but she thought that was me trying to trick her so I could have him 🙄 She made up rumors about me hooking up with a bunch of different guys, but the guys she was mentioning didn’t know who I was and I didn’t know them so those rumors went away quickly, but it still pissed me off. Throughout junior and senior year, I didn’t want to talk to her anymore and I made that very clear to her, but she would always try to act as if nothing happened and she would call me a bully for telling her that I wasn’t her friend. She would try to lock arms with me in the hallway, she would come up behind me and hug me, it got really irritating. It got to the point where whenever I made plans with other friends, I would ask them not to post about it and not to tell her about it because she’d throw a huge fit and call me a bully for not including her. We went to the same college and she would try to do the same things again but since the campus was huge, it was easy to avoid her.

I hate the Kissing Booth trilogy because they normalize, make light of, and joke about sexual assault and toxic relationships for both their platonic and romantic sides.

It terrifies me that some might believe that this is how friendships and relationships are supposed to be. They'll end up in a cycle of toxicity in their lives they might never escape from. Not to mention how they joke about sexual assault in the movies. It's disgusting and should never be played for laughs. I really do question what Marco and Noah see in Elle because one, she's an awful person, has double standards for everything in her life, and not to mention she is completely selfish. When it came for her dad to find happiness again like it's understandable that she would be skeptical of his new girlfriend and not accept her right away, but to pretty much telling him to not be with her just because she disapproves is crossing a line.

Also props to Noah for not punching Marco, even though I kinda think Marco deserved to be punched. Also wished somebody would have told Lee off on how selfish he is though I guess that is why he and Elle are "best friends" cause their both selfish and entitled brats who need to grow up and/or a dose of reality instead of their everything works out in the end cause its a Teen Rom-com BS.
