Coming from a sexual abuse victim, it's super gross that they treat her being groped as a cutesy minor little thing. That sort of thing is very traumatic and the fact that she immediately forgave him and even almost got with him says a lot about the movie.

Fun fact: going near the Hollywood sign is extremely illegal , usually the closest you can ever get to it is if you're above it on the hill, you can absolutely be arrested for being infront of it, sometimes even police officers are there to guard the sign incase anyone tried to go up and vandalize lr loiter near the sign, so if this movie was realistic Elle and Noah would be arrested and the credits would play

Another big issue is that, just from what I've seen here and Cinema Therapy, it's implied that Noah has likely hurt Lee in the past Like, since they were kids, Lee was adamant about keeping Elle out of a relationship with him, probably because it would be weird, and because he's proven to be extremely violent and controlling for no reason. He sees Elle injured and immediately assumes that he did it and manipulate her to lie for him Like- doesn't it feel like that may have happened when they were kids? Noah hurt Lee and convinced him to lie to their parents about it. To everyone. And now Lee has to watch him date his best friend, anxious that it's gonna go bad

Noah is an abuser, but he’s also a victim. Lee is a victim, but he’s also an abuser. Elle is just a victim who’s being forced to *believe* she’s an abuser.

Making Noah a violent psychopath the main Love interest was such a bad idea. It's far from a Healthy relationship, but they potray it as "He just loves you too much" That's basically textbook emotional abuse, the only thing missing was him ACTUALLY hitting her.

The scene where Noah slams his fist on the car and yells at Elle to get in always made me feel sick to my gut. And the fact that the movie just disregarded it and Elle got in the car anyway just to fuck him an hour later was so incredibly concerning to me. In a single scene, this film has taught young girls that if an angry guy who has just been in a physical altercation yells at you to get in his car, you just should, cuz he probably just wants to take you to a romantic secret place and have sex with you. It’s such a dangerous message and I was so disappointed that the opportunity to teach young people how to spot red flags was THERE and they chose to do the exact opposite. And combined with Noah’s behaviour throughout the rest of the movie and the general response to his character from fans, it paints a pretty scary fucking story

He could have said: "You're my little brother's best friend, I kind of feel this obligation to protect you." Which would display the fact that he apparently doesn't view their relationship as close and only by association with his brother and they could do the whole showing not telling thing later as they kiss, WITHOUT that weird little sister stuff

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.

I watched this when it came out (I was like 13) and at age 17 seeing this again I notice the huge red flags Noah gives off from how violent he is to the point where lee felt the needed to create a rule not to date his brother. They tried so hard to make lee the bad guy because he didn’t approve of her relationship with Noah, he’s a good bestfriend trying his hardest to protect his best friends safety from his violent and abusive older brother, and the fact the lee immediately assumed the cut Elle got was from Noah should’ve been a huge red flag to Elle regarding Noah. It’s also disgusting Elle is like 16 and Noah is 18-19 and they had sex

My old really toxic friends used to love this movie. We watched it one night while I was at a sleepover with them, and most of them loved it except for one or two who recognized it was a dangerous movie-. I actually slept through most of it and no one knew, but I do remember the very beginning and the end. Never thought I'd see it again, didn't even know the name of it at the time-

I know everyone's already said this, but seriously SUCH a red flag that Lee immediately thinks Noah hurt Elle, and he actually does push her out of the way pretty harshly while trying to get at Lee, and yk instead of having a conversation about the relationship Noah and Lee get into an actual fight. Noah is constantly acting extremely abusive and the movie just ignores that for the most part.

@audrey8275

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 horrible too how Noah's anger is treated as completely normal and romantic. The fact that Lee saw a cut on her face, IMMEDIATELY assumed Noah had done it, and that was a COMPLETELY BELIEVABLE assumption from what we'd seen of Noah implies that maybe he wanted to keep her away from Noah because he genuinely believed Noah could/would be physically violent towards his partner. I know these movies don't go deep, but it just feels so irresponsible to release this to teens as a romance when it reads more like a slow burn horror movie with Elle as a future victim.

That scene should have been a moment where the story turned real and we addressed the fact that Noah is a toxic horrible person and El does have a reason to be afraid of him but then it just…didn’t go anywhere. SO CLOSE to self awareness from the movie

This could’ve genuinely been a fantastic movie, they set up all the groundwork for Noah to go full psychopath, kill someone, then kidnap Elle as a twist horror movie off of some basic teen romance movie with hints at his psyche beforehand, all to show the dangers of violent and unstable men. It’s like they had the setup for meaningful parody and then didn’t capitalize on it

Bro imagine if there was a Black Mirror episode about how movies like this one romanticise abusive relationships.

this is a horror movie. its a story about girl dating a possessive and violent guy despite obvious warning signs. the scene where noah yelled at her to get back in the car was TERRIFYING.

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 KZread 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.

Unless it shows the consequences of going for "bad boys" (psychopaths and narcissists) in an honest and realistic way, which is to say that they will inevitably turn their violence and sadism towards you. Teens can handle tough subject matter. But of course I agree, in a fluffy romcom it's a baffling choice. In fact, the vast majority of teens would see this movie for what it is: an ethically confused, unfunny and pathetic mess, so I don't think it's going to do that much harm but still. What a wretched piece of storytelling.

Yes, there are people with flaws, but this guy has gone completely off the rails! And they try to glorifie it and make it look "heroic"! This is an abuser, and the signs are as apparent as everything else we can see.

The brother immediately asking "did you do that to her" when he saw Elle's wound should be the biggest red flag ever, but this movie just subscribes to the the-badder-the-boy-the-better narrative so much and I'm so sick of it Anyway, I appreciate you so much Danny, thank you for this video

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

Yeah, like while the friend is kind of crappy...it's easy to interpret as his brother being SUPER dangerous and that's why he tried that rule.

Considering Lee automatically assumed that Noah hit Elle it's not a big shocker that Rule 9 was that there was no relationships with relatives. It's probably not that deep but I want to believe the Lee set this rule to protect Elle.

I almost lost it at the John Wilkes Booth joke. Fairplay man. But holy shit how is Noah not setting off red flags? Quickly resorts to violence with his temper, is manipulative to the point of controlling who she can be with before they're even romantically involved. If the narrative treated it like that this isn't a good thing, it'd be more understandable because people do ignore red flags sometimes or not see them but this is considered a bad thing, but it seems the narrative voice here is "nope, it's romantic, it's true love". The best friend should have remained strict about the rule, but not because it's a rule and he's butthurt, but because his brother is a massive red flag & best friends look out for each other

Knowing that this movie is based on a Wattpad story is genuinely so on the nose😭There is something to be said about our early exposure to thinking toxicity is cute because of that content as kids

100% agree with Danny's assessment. Noah's character was completely off the rails, violent, and controlling --- qualities that are not okay in any relationship.

Physical embodiment of a train wreck

First time watching Danny: 10/10 Truly and eye opening experience

The least surprising thing in this movie is that a bunch of rich people are controlling

Dude, the trope of violent guy and the girl who calms him down was always kinda off with me. It seems to romanise abusive relationships. Like, in regular abusive relationships, victims don’t think of themselves as victims, but as good people helping out a troubled individual aka their abuser. They think themselves as the only ones who can help their abuser and become trapped in their relationship. The victim can’t leave easily because the abuser would threaten their own life or the lives of others if the victim leaves. The victim thinks they still have power because they can calm the abuser down, but really they’re just following the cycle of abuse. Get abused -> Get apology -> Forgive them -> repeat The trope kinda romanize this concept, but ignoring the abuse part.

Cracked up the whole video! Great job Danny!

I really hate Elle's character. She broke their rules (It's not wrong to have rules in friendship, it's totally normal), she lied to her BFF. And when Lee gets mad at her for that she's like THAT'S NOT FAIR. I didn't like her in the first two movies. And in the 3rd movie I so hate her. She chose Noah and Harvard instead of Lee and Berkley when she promised she'll go to the same school as her bestie. I hate Elle.
