It’s still good, clean “fun” and as harmless as it is high-tone and, by now, tone deaf (a world where money is no object and COVID does not exist). At least they have the good grace to officially wrap it all up in a way that leaves no room for sequels
I love this bitter sweet sequel!!!!!
I think this was probably the best of the 3 films from a deep point of view. If you are looking for the classic happily ever after straight line then you'll probably hate it.
I give it a complete 5 star because i can totally relate with the feeling here. Yes Elle and Noah said they would fight for each other, but i guess fighting for another person may mean letting them go and hope that fate brings you back again when the time is right. I love how much Noah is better able to contain his anger especially with Marco.
I must admit i really was happy that Elle got to do her own thing cos common!! She really had been trying to make everyone but herself happy!! If She had gone to Boston with Noah, I think She would have come to regret it in a way and believe me, Lee would never have let her forget it, and If She went to Berkley, She would have missed Noah too much, caused more Drama thereby killing her friendship with Lee.
I especially loved that they met after 6 years (Even though they all still looked exactly the same to me) and you can just tell that they would get back together and i especially used my imagination to get the happily ever after my romantic heart was secretly looking for.
It was a bitter sweet film for me, a perfect way to end a series that held me from the start.
P. S All the other sub plots were cool also, Elle's Dad, Chole's parents **** just showed that Life happens and you either go with the flow, fight against it or Learn its curves and bends and just Surf with it!
With its extended montages of road trips, summer bucket lists, flash mobs, water park shenanigans, and elaborate go-kart races, The Kissing Booth 3 doesn’t so much resemble a narrative film as an extended wrap party for the cast. The whole thing has the vibe of an Adam Sandler paid vacation flick, only with barely even the attempt at comedy.
Like a scoop of vanilla ice cream atop scoops of chocolate and strawberry, The Kissing Booth 3 rounds out the sugary teen trilogy with a fitting, if bland, finale.
To Marcello and and co-writer Jay S. Arnold’s credit, there are a handful of surprises that defy some of the more expected youthful rom com tropes. But the rest is a lot of the same teenage romantic tribulations we’ve seen before.
In the face of icky writing, limp directing, awful pacing, horrific green screen, and terrible jokes, star Joey King spent three film adaptations of Beth Reeckles’ YA novels injecting heart and humor into her Elle Evans. Still, King’s charm isn’t enough to save the series, but it’s sure as hell the lone silver lining of a franchise that finally, blessedly, is coming to an end.
The second was awful, so why not close in misery with the third one?
To sell a romantic comedy you need charm, fun, and above all interesting or at least entertaining characters, not just a bland overload of cheap sweetening.
But obviously that's not what consumers are looking for, and I call them consumers because that's what they are.
And I say this, because it was them who made the inconsequential original film successful, and that's how we got this dumb trilogy.
But thankfully it's the end. That's the silver lining.
The Kissing Booth 3 concludes the saga. It's the same as the other 2, full of cliches and desperate situations, at least it has the best ending, in my opinion, of the trilogy.
