THE KISSING BOOTH Is Stupid And Creepy | Cynical Reviews

- Опубліковано 3 гру 2018
- The Kissing Booth (2018) is another one of these teen romance / drama movies in the vein of Sierra Burgess, and follows Elle, who struggles to reconcile her growing feelings for Noah, who is the perfect-heart-throb-in-every-way-and-if-you-don’t-believe-it-you-must-be-gay, with her lifelong friendship with his brother Lee.
If you’ve seen more than two films in this genre, then you’ve already seen this one, because it does very little that could be considered original, and lazy writing and cliches abound.
Probably the film’s biggest offense though, are elements that kids these days might call “problematic”. It relies on some very outdated ideas about how relationships work, female agency and the power of women to save violent bad-boys from themselves. The sort of ideas that you should not be encouraging in an audience of impressionable teenage girls.

UA-cam just demonetised the video (after I'd already made it public, for f*ck's sake).
EDIT: Remonetised. Yay!
Sorry this took a bit longer than usual. I hope you find it worth the wait. To make up for it, I'm planning on releasing three more videos by the end of this month.
P.S. Hitler Ice Cream was indeed a real thing. Discovering that made sitting through this film multiple times worth it.
And yes, I know her name is pronounced "El". My bad. I still don't care.

@Andy Salter no Andy that is not true at all.
This movie should be called “Sexualizing a psychopath”
I think about how better it would be if it was a horror flim and all that
Or what about "Toxic relationships 101"
K-Booths are f-ing diiiisgusting.
Its so sad that, that is a Thing in Reality.
yes
Yeah this movie is basically as bad as if Killing Stalking ended with a wedding
Their height difference kinda scares me, ngl. He definitely looks like a grown man and she's still quite youthful. She's not even excessively short-- he's just insanely tall
right?? he's 6'5" and she's 5'3"
I thought I was the only one... had me thinking “FBI OPEN UP” the whole time
Lmao I can't help but think he groomed her even tho they're supposed to be same age. 😂
@Kamareon Davis the image itself is scary... one girl I know is about 6ft and has been for a long time and at some point she was taller than every boy around her. That alone was enough for her to stay single until all the boys finally caught up 😂😂
@Kamareon Davis If he looked young then yes. But if he is that height with, like, a whole beard or a grown face then nah
With the amount of red flags this girl ignored, you'd assume she's colour blind

@@milesinwyatteandcora In these kinds of movies, when women do it its part of their growth or to drive the plot. When guys do it its because they are idiots, deserve it, or it'll never amount to anything. Because, you know, tropes, stereotypes, and double standards.
Who the hell says don’t date my brother when they are six years old
Someone who saw red flags for abuse as a kid. Kids are much more observant than people give them credit for.
Marie Cox sorry I didn’t think that would go through your mouth mind as a six year old👍🏻
Semi Terzopoulos yeah but “my brother is a meanie, I don’t want my best friend to date him ever“ is something that a child would think.
Bunnyjen wat?
it more like MARRY me,
the fact that NOAH would not let his brother talk to his best friend alone, we NEVER see anything to show that lee would hurt her, so that show noah is way to controlling.
So we’re all just ignoring how the “fifty shades of grey” sound dub fits almost perfectly over that scene??
OMG IT DOES
Was just thinking that
I THOUGHT THA WAS THE ORIGINAL
Fifty shades full scene bdsm. Trash movie
Wait I thought that was the original sound djdf
why is no one talking about the fact that Lee thinks Noah hit Elle. what could Noah have done to make lee think that... makes me terrified seeing all of Noah’s other actions
since when lee say that, noah attack him.
i mean if my brother said did you hit my best freind i would be like NO, not attack him.
It would've been a cool twist if Lee knows about Noah being very abusive to everyone, especially ex girlfriends and made the "No dating siblings" rule in order to keep Noah away from Elle.
@@imlivingunderyourbed7845 Now that whould have been a cool thing to see
Noah was shown to be a violent person throughout the movie.
Because he's his little brother, and has probably been on the receiving end of Noah's temper his whole life?
"You are the only girl that doesnt fall at my feet, and it is driving me crazy"... the biggest arsehole statement I've ever heard.
That's the biggest red flag in the movie
@@andrewmeyer4124 This is so red that it is the closest you can get to infrared.
Andrew Meyer crimson
That's the most overdone and stupid line that makes no sense, bc she's literally fALLING AT YOUR FEET NOW and also WHY would you be attracted to someone who resists you
the only reason she's not falling at his feet is bc of his brother, otherwise she would have been pregnant by now lmao
When the guy that sexually assaults someone is the most likable character in your ROMANCE film, maybe you should rethink your choices.

The media needs to romanticise healthy relationships.
Romanticizing abusive relationships is less common than people realize. We just talk about the ones that do more often creating that misconception
@@heroofthewinds7765 Well, it might be less(which I don’t even know). They create too much attention and making a lot impressionable teenagers think that this is normal and it affects both sexes.
THIS
@@thegreatking6599 and whats funny about it is that this was written by an impressionable teenager. it was originally a wattpad original story that only got onto Netflix because it got really popular. I grew up with the romance genre, and I dont believe it is "less common than people realize", because its so hard to find healthy relationships. I could probably count the ones I know of that have no problems on one hand. and even if it were more uncommon, I dont really think that matters because this is still reaching a bunch of impressionable teenagers who then share it to OTHER impressionable teenagers. this shit is dangerous.

It's really sad how Hollywood confuses sexual harassment, assault and manipulation for "rOmANce CoMedY"
This is literally a movie representation of instagram comedians
Well, just think about things that the Hollywood is associated with, especially in context of the latest controversies souronding it. Pretty sickening huh ?
Is it that the morality and safety messages in rom-coms are getting worse or is it that they used to apply them to situations involving mistaken-identity, memory-loss or mermaids?
They didn't try to be realistic before.
It's Hollywood, they aren't confusing that at all, they're known for shit like this
This is an adaption of a book written by a woman in wattpad

She’s also just as toxic as all of them
Khadija EXACTLY. everybody in this movie is terrible.
FR
roblox katie I could understand making stupid rules as kids, but never changing them or making them a joke punchline as you grow up is sooooooo toxic and stupid!
Feeding girls/guys the “I can change you” tripe is what encourages people to stay in abusive relationships. This movie is awful
well technically you can take part in changing em although its a gamble. If you dump them and people keep on dumping em for the same reason maybe they can change then?
Edit: At least you would be saving some poor soul experiencing being in an abusive relationship, and you'd have the experience to look out for signs that a relationship is abusive and leave. its a win win...I guess?
You're more likely to change them by turning them down. The reason people become assholes is because they don't see any incentive in being kind and see incentive in being cruel. Remove the incentive of girls getting with guys who choose to be assholes while spouting that nonsense through informing girls of the fact that "no you can't change him you dimwit" and BANG less assholes.
mffffrrr i watched so many teenroms like this that i had the mindset of "oh i can fix this guy!" "we're in love, it's fine!" its so fcking toxic holy shitt
i stg i barely got out of a toxic n abusive relationship because of that sht
Honestly I have been in a abusive relationship and I kept telling myself it wasn't that bad bc it was just like all those movies... I think that's quite telling.

why are toxic relationships and sexual harassment suddenly ok in movies ... pls stop wattpad movies
Ikr, it makes ppl think that it's ok to be in relationships like that because at some point the person will change for them
I'd disagree with the use of the word "suddenly". Creepy shit like this has been around for decades, centuries even, beyond just cinema.
Invalid Opinion Yeah I get that, it’s been around for a long time but most of the time the movie clearly states that relationships like that are not okay but recent movies like this make it look like it’s okay
raxahax Sexual harassment was painted as wrong, though.
Cenoreira It really fucking doesn’t. It’s a film. It’s like watching a superhero film and thinking you can fly because Superman does it.
The film is cringe, but even more cringe is people seriously believing that people emulate what they see in films. I loved Requiem for a Dream, particularly Harry and Marion. I didn’t end up becoming a prostitute of stealing my mum’s TV for heroin money, funny that.
It’s a weirdly conservative idea that liberals have for some reason adopted, that “films cause violence,” etc. That’s not what happens at all, and people who are prone to being in abusive relationships often have major issues themselves (I should know, I end up in toxic friendships from time to time due to the time with my abusive mum making me think certain things are okay when they aren’t/forgiving things that really go over the line and even thinking I’m the only one who’s done something wrong, when the other person clearly did wrong too, and in some cases, deliberate damage.)
In my case, I have to resolve the issues that make me attractive to particularly female narcissists, which I suspect have to do with my mum being one/my experience living just under her and having no one else to model what a healthy relationship with other women should be like. Add bullying/isolation to that, and I also have underdeveloped social skills, so in theory, I know what to do, but I am afraid to take action if it involves talking to people.
So, a film like this can’t “make” you think you can fix someone. If you don’t have the family history of abusive dynamics and grew up in a normal/healthy/loving home, the chances of you getting into an abusive relationship are pretty low (it can happen, but chances are you know how you should be treated and you don’t have major self-esteem/isolation/trauma-related mental health issues the predator can learn and later use against you.)
You have to have some vulnerability, because a predatory person won’t pursue anything with someone they can’t manipulate or exploit. It’s like animal predation - they select the sick/frail ones/alone ones, because the strong ones will run or defend themselves/have a support network to defend them (and that’s another thing, if you share friends, the manipulator will absolutely turn them against you by telling them lies.)
So, TL;DR films don’t influence much of anything. Life experiences do. There are patterns to these things that Tumblrinas, with their limited understanding of psychology, don’t understand.
So, while this film is absolute garbage, it’s just a story. You need to calm down. I’ve actually been in highly abusive dynamics (mostly family and some friendships, although I did have one guy I was talking to/romantically interested in show signs of being pathologically controlling, but it stands), and the film is just a film. It has no bearing on real life.
I think one of the worst things in the movie is how Lee says "Oh but if you actually date him, i will literally never talk to you again." in such a casual way. That guy is a terrible person. Every protagonist here goes straight to hell.
Seriously, that shit was inexcusable. Lee is an awful person.
@@Missjunebugfreak „Yeah well she may be my childhood friend, but if she does something I dont like she shall begone“

@@Groggle7141 The whole point of the word "literally" is to underline that it's not an exaggeration.

"even though she was just sexually harassed, elle is still punished for wearing a short skirt"
yeah that's about accurate
Well it’s in the rules not to wear a short skirt. Why should she get let off from doing that, because she got sexually harassed? At the end of the day she broke a rule too
@@shisah5544 True, punishment where punishment's due. I honestly would be one of the people complaining about the skirt even if she wasn't harassed (it's a school with uniforms, of course there's a code), but I should've added on how the boy was off the hook. You're right to call it out, they're both breaking rules, so I'll rephrase with-
"and he gets away with a slap on the wrist? yeah that's about accurate"
On the bright side the guy also got punished
That rule's there because of pervy teachers looking at their female students legs. It's the fault of the teachers for looking. They should stop looking. The students shouldn't have to cover up just so the teachers don't feel tempted to look.
@@Xehanort10 That skirt was so short it was showing her underwear, you stupid kid. Grow the fuck up.

I can’t get over that she looks like a child next him, the car scene, and that his own brother was convinced he hit her.... looks like Lee was implementing that “rule” to protect her all along
The height difference is so concerning to me💀💀
“No boobs are worth a broken nose” the only good thing that came out of this film
balla vega 😂😂😂
It's also the only healthy advice in the entire film.
And it comes from the guy who sexually assaulted her. WHO SHE THEN WENT OUT WITH. Elle is literally the most naive person ever.
" I am British you wanker"
‘IM BRITISH YOU WANKER’
Almost every Wattpad bad/punk boy is a controlling, manipulative abuser with anger issues. They also flirt and sleep with every girl they can, but are oddly possessive of the protagonist. It’s weird.
I was thinking the same thing. Noah says, 'He is protecting her because she has no experience with boys' but how will she if he keeps on beating dudes who she wants to date. Also, he keeps on fucking kissing random girls but she isn't allowed to? What assholery is this? This whole movie gives me a headache.

Alicia DeFrates So true, aside from the kissing booth the biggest example of this is the After series, I mean Hardin spends the better part of the series emotionally and verbally abusing Tessa and yet somehow she still manages to fall in love with him, it baffles the mind.

The most realistic thing about this movie is the girl getting blamed by the school for her sexual harassment
omg fr
So at my high school, there's a bunch of these hooks on the wall in the girl's bathroom, and all the girls will put their purses with their pads and tampons on the wall, and just leave them there at the school until they need to be refilled. If you don't have one or something, you can just take one as well. So, some guys snuck into the girl's bathroom after school and took a few of the purses and looked through them and stuff. So they found some medication in one of the girl's bag, prescribed medication for her really bad cramps, but there's this policy at school where if you need medication you need to inform the principal of it, so the guys reported her. Now she was only 12 and she had only had her period for a few months, plus the principal was a guy, so she was just too embarrassed to say anything,(personally I think her parents should have told the school about the medication) so she got detention for like a week, but that wasn't really that big a deal to her. Those guys told the whole school that she had drugs or something like that, and everyone believed them for some reason, and she got bullied so bad that she ended up leaving our school at the end of the year. I hate when people make up stories about people and end up making a kid depressed or suicidal and there are no repercussions. This happened a lot where all these rumours were floating around and you never knew what was real or fake.

What's also terrifying is right after he slams his hand on the car and yells for her to get inside with the most threatening voice imaginable, he doesn't even take her home or somewhere where she'll feel safe, but to a secluded area where they're both out of the view of any witnesses and it's just the two of them.
That's a girls worst nightmare. The movie tries to play this moment off as a romantic kick-starter, but to women, this scenario ends with us in a body bag and a nationwide search.
Oh so it IS ROMANTIC
Speaking from experience, if anyone you're dating says they're "wired" like that for being a psycho, absolutely believe them and don't think you can change them. For your safety. This movie should not target teenage audiences who may be influenced to think it's okay to be in an abusive relationship. Shitty movie shouldn't exist.
I found the teen drinking a little creepy. All these kids drunk, unsupervised, then a teenage girl blacks out and strips. Anyone else bothered by this?
Sadly that happens in real life frequently
@@user-je2gk5jm2m Yeah but that doesnt make it ok to show as harmless in a movie.
"Oh so she is pregnant after that party? Nah, no one will care if she gave her consent or not, people dont think that much."
not really, me and most my friends have been drinking since were 11
Jeez, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you’re seeking treatment.
Same
Can we talk about how her "bestfriend" sat and laughed as she stripped in front of the entire school. Also the fact that shes constantly finding way to not have clothes on
Edit: this is the most likes I've ever received on a comment so I'd like to use this fame to say, onision and his spouse gr00merXboy are predators and dont deserve a platform. Thank you.
But apparently it's what made Cynical interested in the film... despite the fact that she looks 13
If my best friend started stripping I'd laugh too tbh
@@breyadavis2992 yeah same
Ye this is probs the most unrealistic part of the movie. She isn't even that attractive so it's weird that every guy is like OMG. It just makes men look like a bunch of horny assholes who go for anything with tits. This movie seems like some weird sexual fantasy that some girl came up with where she is the centre attention of a bunch of men. Everyone wishes to be seen as attractive but this is a bit extreme.
Its not her bestfriends fault, I would have of course made sure no one took advantage of her but let her be embarrassed
The fact that Joey was 17 (underage) when this was filmed creeps me out even more
omg ew
She gets paid millions so she doesn’t give a shit
I honestly thought she was older
she was 19
@@wut8800 she was 17, kissing booth was filmed between January and April in 2017, 4 years ago, she was 17 during the filming and she turned 18 July 2017
Lee may not be gay, but that man is most certainly NOT straight.
“Despite the fact that she was just sexually harassed, Elle still gets punished for wearing a short skirt.”
Every girl that goes to school: Oh, you haven’t heard?
Subtle Taco “First time?”
Strawberry Shortcake
And what bothers me the most is people in the comments are more bothered by her fucking skirt than the fact that she was assaulted and Noah is a grade one jerk, and a borderline manipulative abuser.
Doesn't happen in real life

This is strangely like 50 shades of grey
But with kids
This is incredibly wrong
I mean they were both fanfictions
@@grimmm421 And awful.
I swear to God most fanfictions written by teens turn out to be like this. It's rare to find very well written ones.
@@felmargego2534 where do you look??

I now realize how it's a comedy. Your suffering is meant to be the joke.
or punch line...
Rebecca Loptson feels like I've been punched after watching it
Ok, but in REAL high schools, if you swear, you'll get a week of detention and a butt - whoopin' from your parents. And all that sexualized stuff? and a KISSING BOOTH?!?!?! yea, that is really unrealistic. Not to mention that kidnapping type of stuff? I JUST CANT-!!!!
You get a week of detention for swearing? What school did you frequent?
At worst, I think the punition for swearing was some lines, and it was only when in front of a teacher, not in the ground XD
Well, I'm from France, I don't think swearing is really taboo here ^^
I am late but that depends on what school you go to. But some school won't give you detention for swearing (In my case, my school doesn't give a crap if we swear they just think it's normal for teens to curse sometimes)
High school movies really are unrealistic. A whole new level of unrealistic.

Ocean's movies are under action, Netflix is always drunk.
People think anime is cringy and then watch stuff like this movie and like it.
I think the funniest joke in the film is when Lee was talking about Noah in the kissing booth and he said "yeah right, you have a better chance at getting Miley Cyrus to become a nun"
How tf did he get into Harvard with all those damn fights he’s in? That’s my biggest question.

Smolderiing lazy writing
Nice profile pic. I see you’re a man of culture
Jamal Lewis I would say the same 😎
"just get in the car" is in the abusers notebook 101, how could no one though this in the writing
Worse he slaps it. That's classic transference of violence that will make it's way over to her face eventually.
Twilight did that too with the bit where Edward told Bella that if she tried to run away he'd just drag her back. Problem is the teen fangirls who like stuff like this think that if the filmmaker, author or whoever says something's romantic then that somehow means it is even though it doesn't.
This entire movie is one big "is this movie a good idea?".
The entire movie is just... abuse, upon abuse, upon retro gender roles and poor writing.
@@just1desi Exactly it's a movie that shows all these abusive relationship red flags but because the guy is considered "hot" it's best to overlook simply because he's aesthetically pleasing.
If it was the other brother showing those traits he would be labeled an abusive and bitter misogynist to avoid while the hot brother has to be understood and saved from himself
Even kelso in that 70s show does it and he isnt even abussive, just toxic. Its a major red flag
"All my life, Noah has gotten everything he's wanted. The only thing I had that he didn't was you." Bro she's not a possession.
I just hate every single caracter in this movie
(Sarcastic. Not to be taken seriously) So remember, kids: If your boyfriend or girlfriend is an overbearing and controlling psychopath who has the potential to get violent with you or other people, don’t leave him or her. It’s not a dysfunctional relationship it’s real love.
If someone dragged my girlfriend like that Id probably get really mad too.....
And if you only like each other for looks and sex it's totally not just obsessive lust. It's "true love" apparently.
Xehanort10 Oh Yeah. That’s true.
@@jibrael5705 true tho.
Yeah if he hits a freakin car because of you or a wall or anything it should be a huge red flag to GTFO ... but he is cute so maybe she can fix him after he beats her a few times.
in preparation to kiss ellie, noah must strategically fold his body to decrease his height by roughly three feet
Through years of training, Noah has developed the ability to generate a black hole in his stomach at will, enabling him to shrink whenever the plot demands it.
@Aaliya Is that the name of his Kekkei Genkai or what jutsu is this?
That car scene triggered my PTSD . Couldn't continue watching after that. I can't believe people find it cute and romantic. Trust me it's not cute when you are at the receiving end.
About her mom I found it so funny that in the beginning she was like lee is my best friend 😁 etc and then just randomly throws in “my mom died” 😢 anyways 🥰☺️
The fact that lee 100% believed he hit her, no explanation needed, not only makes sense considering he has completely abusive tendencies, but shows that everyone else can see the red flags she's ignoring
I ignore red flags for chiseled abs.
Although this more about Lee's jelaousy.
@@fightingmedialounge519 umm not really... i dont think accusing someone of domestic violence usually happens solely bc of jealousy
@@cathleenmudong2289 then clear must of not heard of toxic couples. Because that happens all the time.

Netflix stops the series "I am not okay with this" in that way, and then desides to get another film of THIS?! Insted og a new seson of a good series?! Netflix WTF is wrong with you?!
im still so sure that not only is noah abusive, but lee knows that. like, he was so quick to assume he was the one to hit elle, and it would explain the 'no siblings' rule...
That skirt was so short, it doesn't even classify as a skirt. That's a belt.
@Michi Bby It's never cool but this is a case where it's reasonable to ask students to cover up more at school
@@Catz1a yeah, in a realistic and idealistic world she would get rightfully reprimanded for breaking the dressing code and the dude would be in big fucking trouble.
The guy shouldn't harrass her, and she shouldn't wear that skirt. Both were wrong
@@vem9583 but they aren't equally wrong.
Wearing inappropriate attire in School =/= sexual harassment
@@jackgarcia5926 never said that.
It took me *way* too long to realize that the beginning wasn't part of the actual movie, I have never been so creeped out..
omg i didn't realised it until you've pointed it out, that explains why it got so uncomfortable so fast
@@andrelini The actual scene was almost as uncomfortable.. 😂
I WAITED ALL MOVIE FOR THAT PART TILL THE END FUUUUCK
@@cerenb7909 that sucks..
Where is that even from lmao
I like to think that Lee made the rule when they were little for her safety. It’s easier to tell your friend that she shouldn’t date your brother for loyalty reasons rather than because he’s a sadistic psychopath. But NOPE HES JUST AS POSSESSIVE AS HIS BROTHER
The sad part is that the scene where she got in trouble for wearing a miniskirt, that’s probably the most realistic part since (at least in my case) schools care more about their kids wearing something slightly risqué than a literal sexual harasser
The fact that many underage impressionable girls will take this movie as some sort of instruction manual is what I find most disgusting.
Exactly and that's why the cliche fixation with the "bad boy" is never going to go away anytime soon
I took this movie as advice when I was 13, but then I realized the piece of shit this movie was and how disgusting are the messages they’re sending to girls. Joey King is an amazing actress, and I’m happy “The Act” showed her actual potential, this movie was not good. Some girls at school still idealize this movie and keep telling me “don’t wear revealing clothes” and all this horrible shit.
@@jackmayov4877 As much as I want to say 'I don't agree', the facts speak volumes, and what you say is more of a reality that I don't want to admit.
@@feralgirlhood No definitely, I have seen Joey's talents elsewhere too, but this was a bad call from her and the movie's messages go far more into subliminal messages than the obvious ones, as tin foil hat as that may sound like, it is the truth, all I hope is that all the gals in the world grow out of it and learn about the bullshit that the media keeps projectile vomiting into their minds.
@@tomatotortilla as highly immoral as that may be, it's been documented to have happened and there has been a steady rise of it to, to the point were there was a subreddit dedicated to women sexually fantasizing about mass shooters and serial killers.

The way this film sexualises a teenager for no reason other than to sexualize a teenager. Other than the first scene where she gets assaulted and it's used as a plot starter, we just have these random scenes of this girl taking off her top for no reason
