Too bad the dad stayed, he is my favourite character y'know, he knew how trash the movie will be but he stayed to watch over his daughter and son And you see he is suffering for it, it really isn't fun and he isn't going to fake it like the others, but he is doing it for his kids, a true inspiration for all men, fathers and humanity in general Hope we see a movie about him

Really? That explains it. At 15 I was into bad boys and all of it shown in the movie. At 28, I know better lol

@@rabailjehan6454 I am 15 now growing up I was never really into the idea of crushes and I still don’t get them that much, I’ve liked like two people in my entire life 💁🏽‍♀️ and I’ve actually been working on my own 3 books

I think it’s really telling lmao, some 15 year old was going through a phase of “I want a bad boy who’s terrible to everyone but me bc I can fix him” and then some weirdo adult man saw that and was like “this is so perfect and there’s nothing wrong with any of the dynamics in this movie”

⁠​⁠@@g0ref4iry48or he saw that it was popular with young girls & didn’t care about the message as long as it sold to its target audience (which it did), I highly doubt anyone behind this was super invested lol

💀💀

Literally this whole movie triggers my SA ptsd I watched it with my friends as a 16 year old and felt widely uncomfortable and sad bc they had this girl act this shit out like how harmful to her and also it's so gross anyone took his role. He is a bad character and it was obviously written by someone with a childish mindset on sexual interactions and the reality of consent and how ptsd works.

And they made more than one movie off this shit wtf🫥

For real, I had been in 2 really bad ones (physically,sexually,emotionally,mentally) it was hell,… this whole movie and everything doesn’t sit right with me.

​@Ava-nx2jy first of all , I'm sorry for everything you went through and I hope things got better for you :) 💕💕💕💕 And your emotions about this movie are valid , as someone who didn't go through any kind of abuse but I know many family members in toxic/abusive relationships , I can say that their relationship is not stable and even if a person who didn't go through any forme of abuse will know this relationship is toxic Btw this movie was originally a wattpad story written by a 15 year old girl , so I guess it makes sence why it isn't great but the fact that grown adults choose to make this a movie is dumb

I thought the exact same thing, and also the whole film is around her falling in love with a really violent guy who shouts at her to "get in the car" really aggressively. This movie is so weird, and it just triggers me so much.

Not really when you realize it was probably just because he thought it'd be gross for his brother and best friend to date. They were kids when they made the rules and he didn't act like the rule was made out of concern. He said that he's never talk to her again, you wouldn't say that if you were actually concern about your friend being in a toxic situation. Every character in the movie sucked honestly except elle but she was extremely flat for a main character.

"But he's a tall and handsome bad boy, I want him!!" 😂

for real. and the way when he first saw them together he assumed he hurt her says a lot

@@nutellacelery8830 Stop acting like not being abre to kiss a single guy who she barely talks to is a horrible task.

More likely it was written by a teenager who knew how Wattpad stories usually go and just wrote the popular tropes

Curious if she got paid for the story becoming a film

I remember reading this!!!

Honestly, as a sibling, you'd know your sibling best. If Noah was that violent as a child, Lee probably had some experience getting beat up by him too. Also, Noah doesnt really hide his violent personality

@@gram7354 Given that Noah didn't really hesitate when it came to trying to attack Lee all over an accusation, I would say Lee probably does indeed have experience getting beat up by him.

Totally. And I guess maybe you're supposed to think Lee is trying to manipulate her into breaking up with Noah due to his insecurity, but even if that is the case the point still stands. We constantly see Noah being aggressive throughout the movie and I wouldn't have been shocked if he hit Elle at some point in a fit of rage (like during the car scene).

i dont think lee was creepy, i can see your view but, i feel like the main reason he wanted to keep her away from her brother was because of his brothers godaweful personality. he says stuff like "she doesnt know what shes gotten herself into" which i believe somewhat is code for noah mistreating women he gpes outwith (sorry for bad english)

It would have been better if his reason for not wanting elle woth noah was to protect her.

@@trvhal eh the line "you were the one thing I had that noah didnt" really kills that idea for me, that combined with other weirdly possessive stuff Lee does esp in the sequels suggests some serious jealousy from lees end, if he was really concerned about elles safety he wouldn't even have suggested that elle belonged to him or anything like that

for real it seems to be that his concern is not 'don't date my brother ooh icky' it is 'this dude is physically dangerous and potentially abusive' like that's. that's a p real concern!!

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. I feel like that was the reason that he didn't want her to date his brother. It makes a lot of sense.

This out of context is even more concerning

Goblin? Wasnt that the guy who killed a man and impregnate the man's wife

I feel like if this is the case it would actually be a good movie

this is so true.. every fight that happened in my high school looked exactly as you described it 😭

Didn’t think about Lee having to lie :( Also I love cinema therapy so much

We should put you in charge of writing movies

I love how when it comes to what happens to Noah at the end, the only character development he deserves is death or imprisonment.

Definitely better but I'm not sure about Elle throwing herself at Lee and going to therapy. I think that would make her character quite empty and promote the idea that there's something wrong with someone mentally if they end up in an abusive relationship. That is sometimes true but also it comes down to the manipulation of an abuser. Perhaps the film could have took a dark turn and depict domestic abuse quite graphically but accurately. I'm not certain what would be best in terms of Lee's role but I agree Noah facing the consequences of his actions and Elle learning would be a much better outcome. Dying seems to say that death is an appropriate form of justice rather than reformation or that death from a perpetrator can help a victim move on, which I don't think is a helpful or productive message but prison seems fitting. I suppose the issue is that it's a difficult story to write and unless it is genuinely well done, it wont sell. To accurately but also sensitively depict real world crimes is a very fine line and requires not just excellent writers but also very good actors. No matter how crap this is, I imagine it would do well enough to make some money from an American audience.

@@jaymercer4692 I didn't think Elle would be in therapy because she got into an abusive relationship but because she needed to heal from it

@@maks7355 Perhaps. Something about selling therapy as a solution feels off to me but I might be wrong. Therapy does help a lot of people so I’m not sure.

@@kittyratrawr Miss Ma'am needs an Alcoholic Anonymous for Bad decision making in guys

That's not all he did, Danny didn't include the whole thing. He dressed up in a skirt to embarass himself in front of the class to get Elle to forgive him. It's still NOT a good message that Elle accepted a date from a guy who groped her, but it's more than an I'm Sorry note.

@@sighcantthinkofaname So he use a skirt as a "humiliation" thing as well, good i guess okay.

@@truthseeker9249 they said often, and you missed the part where noah literally compared elle to a little sister

Literally, the fact that they aren't in a love triangle is actually surprising

If I remember the sequel correctly, they ended up doing exactly that.

I need this version as a spin off

That couldve been a sick movie I feel cheated now

I agree completely, I found the scene at 16:23 really interesting, Lee really seemed like he's seen Noah do some really fucked up shit behind the closed doors and is desperately trying to protect his friend from his own abuser. It would be a really interesting story.

Honestly that would work, because it would seem that Noah has intimidated him into keeping quiet about what he’s done

Right, they make it seem like we're supposed to believe he would hurt anyone but her, "oh look he's so protective!" When in reality, a man with a violent streak like Noah's isn't going to be like "oh but this person is off limits." He clearly has serious anger management issues, and a relationship won't just make that go away. Lee didn't just not want El dating his brother because it'd be weird, he didn't want her dating someone so violent and toxic.

It's kind of irritating that they try to portray Lee as a "antagonist" for the whole movie who is trying to separate two "lovers"

and ofc the "GET IN THE CAR" scene...

It tends to be easier to get cast in a similar role as one you’ve already played before, character-wise

Hope he doesn't live in his car anymore tho

What was the other role?

Yeah, if in the end Elle either got killed or badly abused by Noah and Lee was sad because he saw it coming and tried to warn her. The movie could've actually had a valuable life lesson: look for red flags.

Yeah. If the first thing your family ask when seeing someone theyre close to is injured is "did you do that? " means they just know how prone to violence they are.. Mega red flags

It kinda makes his "dont date my brother" rule seem way more reasonable if his brother is just this super violent asshole tbh

I watched this movie when it first came out. I was still young then and I'm ashamed to say that I liked it and was obsessed with it for so long. How could I have been so blind? I even liked the 2nd movie when it came out. Mostly because of Marco but I now hate him too. Anyway by the time I became an adult, I had watched a whole bunch of reactions on KZfaq just like this one completely slandering this movie and that's how I came to finally understand. This movie is terrible and sends so many bad messages to young girls. Messages that I took to heart, still being the young girl that I was and I ran with them. I had already experienced abusive relationships before I saw this movie but this movie didn't exactly help me with learning my lesson about trusting and dating the wrong men. I think it made it worse. Cause again this movie reinforced in my little mind that this stuff was normal. By the time the 3rd one came out not too long ago I was an adult and had finally learned my lesson. My boyfriend is not into romance movies like I am so he never saw any of the Kissing Booths. He never even heard of them despite having Netflix until I told him. I didn't give him any details and watched the first one with him to make him see. Immediately he thought the same as everyone else. Cringey, cliche and bad messages for young girls about relationships AND friendships. Then I made him suffer through the 2nd one with me that was a sh*tshow. Rachel was the best part of it even though she was stupid for being with someone like Lee. Then we both suffered through the 3rd one together when it first came out and we did it out of sheer curiosity. "How could they possibly make this story any worse?" Uggggggggggggh. Honestly he and I are kind of on the fence about whether or not we should let our children watch these movies, especially our daughters. I definitely intend to warn my children about this movie and tell them to not think that any of what is going on in the movie is a good thing. Hopefully they listen to me. And honestly hopefully we can all watch together so we can talk afterwards.

Also, immediately after Lee accuses him, Noah starts BOLTING at his brother who is 4 years younger than him and far, far weaker at him to beat him up, like wtf. Noah beating up creeps is one thing, but him beating up your best friend for being kinda unreasonable? Hell no Lee does end up getting in the first punch, but again, Noah is older and could most likely snap Lee like a twig, he's supposed to be the bigger person and act more maturely and be more responsible, but instead he has even less self-control than Lee does. Lee knows Noah is a womaniser and so doesn't want Elle to date him for that reason, also bc it would be weird. Lee ALSO doesn't like Noah because he's a violent jerk, towards him and just in general, but is still somehow worshipped while Lee is considered a loser, so having his best friend date his brother would really quite suck. And then when walking in he does sound kind of shocked, like he'd never think Noah would go as far as to hit a girl (esp a soft, passive one like Elle), but also isn't putting it above him considering his previous ill behaviour

@@thekitkatlizard8661 Agreed. Not to mention that with how Noah has acted throughout this movie, I don’t find it at all unreasonable that Lee would immediately believe without question that Noah is abusing Elle. Also, in my opinion at least, that should’ve probably shown Elle that dating Noah is an absolutely horrid decision. It’s one thing that outside sources have been giving her the signs to press the eject button on this relationship, but one that specifically came from her bestie since she was a child? Girl, open your fucking eyes. For this entire movie Elle was essentially going, “He is an entire garbage truck of red flags, but good thing I’m wearing my rose tinted glasses”

No

Especially when he’s so worried about her dating Noah.

@@thekitkatlizard8661 I don’t think he’s 4 years younger, but he is way smaller than Noah. Other than that you’re totally right.

The way he immediately jumped to that conclusion was really a shocker for me just because normally you don't blame your family members unless they did something really shitty to you. Lee also grew up with Noah so he knows his habits and his limits so it just makes me wonder if Noah really did something to Lee :(

You know it’s serious that when, without any evidence, your own brother immediately thinks you abused his life long friend. It’s seriously fucked up how some girls think that he’s still hot even after all the clear red flags

Aaaaah, I seeee, so that's why he put there this weird rule No.9 🤔😣

no wonder he didn't want her dating him

isn't that after 😭

@@blahblahblah7186 🙃Believe it or not, they both were! The Kissing Booth’s author wrote it on Wattpad at 15 (I saw it in an article a few years ago)

@@briaweea02 and after is supposed to be a fanfiction of Harry styles 💀, I can't- , like I can’t, "being aggressive, possessive, and violent asf is hot "

IT IS??????

It's fine if it's on Wattpad, I mean I wrote fanfiction too, but I'd never want what I wrote to be made into a damn movie.
