All spoilers for the previous films are unmarkedA 2021 teen romantic dramedy film, The Kissing Booth 3 is the third installment in the The Kissing Booth series, based on the book series of the same name by Beth Reekles. It was made available on Netflix on August 11, 2021. It adapts the basic plot of The Beach House, a novella released between the two books, but mostly tells an original story. Once again, it was directed by Vince Marcello, with the screenplay written by Marcello and Jay Arnold.Taking place shortly after The Kissing Booth 2, Elle (Joey King) is planning to spend the last summer before college alongside her best friend, Lee (Joel Courtney), her boyfriend, Noah (Jacob Elordi), and Lee's girlfriend, Rachel (Meganne Young), at the Flynn family's beach house. Elle has chosen to attend Harvard so she can be with Noah, but feels guilty of abandoning Lee. To make up with him, she invites him to do a bucket list of activities they dreamed as kids, all in the span of a single summer. She soon learns how exhaustive it can be to balance her role as a friend to Lee and a girlfriend to Noah, something that isn't helped when she reunites with Marco (Taylor Zakhar Perez). To top it off, she struggles to accept the fact that her father (Stephen Jennings) is dating another woman, Linda (Bianca Amato). Can Elle juggle the responsibilities and face new realities, or will she break down and lose everything she has?The film also stars Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Chloe, Noah's friend from Harvard, and Molly Ringwald as June, the Flynn brothers' mother.

Oblivious to Love: Elle is painfully oblivious to the extremely obvious fact Marco is still attracted to her and is hanging around with her in the hopes of changing her mind; it takes Marco punching Noah for publicly calling him on this for her to finally catch on. Noah even calls her obliviousness "embarrassing".

Artifact Title: Even more so than the second film, where the kissing booth at least has some significance to the story (it results in Lee and Rachel making up, Elle definitively rejecting Marco for Noah, and Ollie finally confessing his feelings for Miles). Here, the kissing booth has nothing to do with the plot and merely gets a cameo appearance.

Calling the Young Man Out: When Elle insults her dad's new girlfriend Linda in front of everyone over a Monopoly game and says she'll never be part of their family, Elle's father confronts her about her attitude. Elle calls her father "selfish" for dating again after her mother died, prompting Mr Evans to point out although he was also devastated by Elle's mother dying he had to stay strong to look after her and her brother, that he hasn't dated anyone else until now for his kids' sake, and that Elle isn't the only one who deserves love and happiness. It doesn't help that Linda is far from being a Wicked Stepmother and no one else has a problem with her. Elle later realizes that her dad made some good points and apologizes to Linda.

Long-Distance Relationship
 The Kissing Booth 3 / int_3497a64e
comment
Long-Distance Relationship: Deconstructed. Despite the previous film's message of this being a feasible option, this film repeatedly shows that this is a very difficult way of keeping a relationship afloat, since not only you have to maintain a regular schedule to prevent things from going sour, but also sacrifice your priorities so you can placate your loved ones. Noah breaks up with Elle as he knows that, beyond being able to be with him, she doesn't really want to move all the way to Boston. Meanwhile, Rachel breaks up with Lee explicitly because she doesn't want to do LDR.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 The Kissing Booth 3 / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The Kissing Booth films are romantic comedies - which tend to fall more on the idealistic side of things - and the movies generally have a slightly "heightened reality" feel to them. As a result, it comes off as more surprising, though logical, when Elle and Noah break up in the third act...for good. Realistically, it's highly unlikely a high school romance where the couple live on opposite ends of the country and fight constantly about everything would stay intact for the long-run, even if they both care for each other.

Broken Aesop
 The Kissing Booth 3 / int_401d4116
comment
Broken Aesop: A plot point that is emphasized is Mr. and Mrs. Flynn deciding to sell the beach house for redevelopment. Elle, Noah, and Lee are initially opposed, but eventually relent and clean it up per their agreement in return for spending their summer there. However, Mrs. Flynn chooses to pull out of the sale, literally at the last second, upon recalling the childhood pictures hung inside the beach house that Elle sent her. This not only contradicts her quite sensible reasoning to sell the house in the first place (that it's expensive to maintain, especially since no one is going to live there most of the time now that the kids are off to college), it also undermines the film's message about how growing up means that, sometimes, you have to leave your childhood attachments behind.

Bittersweet Ending: Elle decides to attend USC, therefore following her dream in the gaming business. In the process, she breaks up with Noah, while Lee and Rachel also amicably break up so their relationship will not stand in the way of college, and all of them drift apart. But they are reunited six years later, with Lee and Rachel having reconciled and about to marry in several weeks, while Elle is implied to also reconcile with Noah.

Growing Up Sucks
 The Kissing Booth 3 / int_57efd4c4
comment
Growing Up Sucks: Elle and Lee get hit with this hard, as they realize that graduating from high school means entering a totally uncharted territory that requires them to grow up. On example is their attempt to fulfill the very long bucket list, as a way to clean up any loose ends in their childhood and therefore move on to adult life with few regrets. Although they start off optimistically, they begin missing one milestone after another, and towards the end, realize that they will not be able to do them all, since summer is nearly over and Lee needs to pack up for his move to Berkeley.

Coming of Age Story: The previous films have elements of this, but this movie more fully embodies it, focusing on the protagonists facing the fact they have to say goodbye to their childhood as they prepare to attend college, including having to make difficult decisions and letting go of things holding them back from maturing. In particular, Elle learns to make decisions based around her own happiness rather than what other people want, Lee has to accept that his loved ones' lives don't always revolve around him but that doesn't mean they love him any less, and Noah realizes he has to let go of Elle so they can both pursue their own dreams.

Cassandra Truth: Noah tells Elle repeatedly that Marco isn't hanging around with her because he wants to be Just Friends, but she completely dismisses the idea until it smacks her in the face (well, Noah's the one who gets smacked, but still). When she tries to apologize for being so obtuse, Noah angrily states I Warned You.

"Reason You Suck" Speech: After inadvertently missing her and Lee's last chance to play on their Dance Dance Mania game, Lee accuses Elle of not caring about him and claims she's always chosen Noah over him. Elle is infuriated and launches into a speech of her own, lambasting Lee for being a Spoiled Brat who can't accept that their lives and friendship is changing and unloading on him about all the pressure she's felt to "make it up" to him for choosing Harvard over Berkeley. She ends it by saying she's done following the "friendship rules" Lee has always used to control her before storming off, leaving Lee in shocked tears.

What the Hell, Hero?: Elle's dad confronts her about being disrespectful to Linda and for accusing him of being selfish for dating her, pointing out that he'd put his romantic life on hold and worked at a job he hated so he could take care of her and Brad.

Artistic License: When Elle is seriously considering going to Harvard, Noah says he'll look for an apartment for them to share in Boston. However, a quick Google search will inform you that first-year Harvard students are required to live on-campus, so while second-year student Noah could live off-campus if he wanted, at best Elle would be relegated to visiting him in her spare time. It's especially weird considering that the previous film did depict Noah living in a room on-campus during his first year. Once again, Elle and Noah are depicted being able to walk right up to the Hollywood sign, which you can't do in real life unless all the security measures were suddenly dropped for some reason.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business
 The Kissing Booth 3 / int_e83f211c
comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Chloe is normally an extremely kind and softspoken person, so Noah knows something is up when she tells him off for not doing enough to reconcile with Elle after their fight. This is because she is frustrated that her parents are divorcing without much fanfare, making her angry at people who don't seriously fight for their love.

High-School Sweethearts: Played straight with Lee and Rachel in the ending; they began dating in high school and after taking a break to attend college, they got back together and are getting married. Possibly played straight with Elle and Noah, though it's not confirmed that they do get back together.

comment
Love Cannot Overcome: Lampshaded by Noah when he breaks up with Elle; although they love each other he knows she's only going to Harvard because of him rather than what she actually wants and he's concerned that if things don't work out he'll be responsible for Elle being unhappy.
