Oh my god I want to kill myself.
The movie made me say that, and actually I said it more than once. Sean thought it was a sufficient review.
Is it though?
I’ll give you just a touch more:
A girl and a guy, both virgins and best friends, have a couple of strict rules to their friendship, the most important one being don’t fall in love with each other’s siblings, so oh my god guys, guess what happens!
She totally falls in love with his hunky older brother, and a lot of the plot revolves around a kissing booth at their high school carnival, but I’m struggling to tell you why this was important.
Anyway, there was some dialogue so bad it still wasn’t good but I did laugh, in a gaggy, kill me now, can we turn this off kind of way. It feels written by someone who never even went to high school, and who doesn’t care if they damage female self-esteem for an entire generation. The stuff that happens is infuriating and improbable and I’d rather pull out my own toenails and eat them than watch this again.
This is the most cliche storyline ever oh my god, who funded this?!

Sounds riveting 😂

It’s difficult to articulate but the idea of kissing booths still being around bothers me. I don’t think they were ever a good idea, and the idea of someone’s first kiss being at a kissing booth is too much like the old (and not very good) joke, “I remember the first time I had sex because I saved the receipt.”

I was having the exact same feelings about it – seems like something no sane school could condone.

And a private school nonetheless😂 you’d think they’d be even more strict about that kind of stuff

My fourteen-year-old sister saw this being advertised on Netflix when we were getting ready to watch “Frasier” and she was like “Eww. Barfy teenage movie.” I guess her assessment was pretty much on point! 😀

Oh my, tell us how you really feel 😉 I think I saw a preview write up of this, and it didn’t sound like something I wanted to see. I’ll definitely skip it now. Thanks. (As long as I remember. If only I had remembered the warnings against Jupiter Ascending.)

I find it hard to keep track too – and sometimes titles are just too vague to help!

I saw a trailer for this and felt like I could predict the entire thing. Girl falls for her friend’s brother, they fight, but then make up at the end. fin.

It was a cringe-fest to say the least. I had to pause it multiple times to say “I’m embarrassed FOR them.”

I mean, your comment is funny because the movie is so unfunny. And because you’re right, and that’s true, and isn’t this depressing?

Watching half this movie produced a kind of uneasy self-loathing that forced me to stop and take a shower. Just awful. Even the youngsters this is aimed at simply don’t exist.

I know, I can’t imagine what they were thinking. I cringed so hard. Showering isn’t enough – you need to watch some great classic film to really be cleansed.

I agree with Sean. Nothing wrong with the full review, but that first line, standing alone, has a certain panache of its own 🙂

This review can sell this movie more than studio marketing ever could. 🙂
