The Kissing Booth, Movies Like The Kissing Booth

This film tells you the story of Elle and Lee, friends who have been friends since they were born, literally as their mothers were friends themselves. They essentially grew up together which made their friendship stronger over the years.

The whole drama begins when our friends are introduced as 16-year-olds and start a new school year. We are introduced to Lee’s older brother, Noah, who is quite handsome, the school’s popular football player, a typical cliché football player. To keep their friendship so strong and free of fights they have a set of rules, one of the most important ones being that siblings – or relatives in general – are out of bounds romantically, totally blocked, forbidden, denied.

From here, the plot is simple. Elle Evans has never kissed a boy and is in love with Noah Flynn, the older brother of her best friend, Lee. But because of their rules, she can’t date him. Now, they’re together in the kissing booth. What will she do?

2. To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018)

Lara Jean has never had a boyfriend, but she has fallen in love with five different guys at some point in her life. In order to forget about them and close that stage of her life, she writes them some letters in which she tells them everything she likes about them and what she hates as well. The interesting thing is that she never sends them, that is to say, she writes them knowing that they will never be read, so she is as sincere as possible.

When Lara Jean starts school, her life takes an unexpected turn: her letters are no longer in her hiding place and have reached most of the boys, but, above all, they have reached Josh, her sister’s ex-boyfriend who is like one of the family and who spends the whole day at her house; and Peter Kavinsky, the boy who gave her her first kiss.

That’s when the whole mess begins with the revelations in the letters she had kept so secret and never intended to be revealed. Funny, surprising and quite romantic.
