The Kissing Booth
Elle and Lee propose having a kissing booth as a school fundraiser. At a party, Elle tells the popular OMG girls (Olivia, Mia, and Gwyneth) that Noah will be part of the booth, despite him having already refused to participate.
The Kissing Booth
The kissing booth goes well until Noah is meant to participate but Lee takes his place, disappointing the girls. A classmate, Rachel, steps up to kiss Lee, and the two leave Elle to staff the booth. Annoyed with Elle, the OMG girls set her up to kiss an undesirable student. At the last second, the student waves Noah ahead. He kisses the blindfolded Elle, and when she realizes Noah has kissed her, they kiss again in front of everyone.
While fixing Noah's motorcycle, Elle cuts her face. Lee finds Noah cleaning the wound and accuses him of hurting her. When Lee asks Elle if she and Noah are dating, she says they are not. After agreeing to tell Lee the truth, Lee walks in on the two of them kissing. Furious that Elle has broken the friendship rules, Lee runs to his car, saying their friendship was the one thing his brother never had and that now he has nothing, and driving off. Elle lashes out at Noah, blaming him for exposing their relationship, so he leaves on his motorcycle.
Elle goes to prom with Lee and Rachel, whom he is now dating. Huge black and white photographs adorn the walls of Memory Lane, a special prom exhibit, including the photos of the kissing booth. Noah emerges from the back, asking Elle to the stage and confessing his love for her publicly, but she runs away. He apologizes to Lee at home, telling him his feelings for Elle are serious despite the fact he is leaving for Harvard the next day.
The Kissing Booth has all the makings of a classic rom-com. With its upbeat soundtrack, onscreen romances, and humble Wattpad beginnings, it's garnered quite a cult following. The rom-com centers on high school students and lifelong best friends Elle Evans (Joey King) and Lee Flynn (Joel Courtney). In order to protect and preserve their special friendship, the two create a list of rules they've sworn to follow, the most significant being rule number nine: relatives of your best friend are off limits, especially Lee's bad-boy older brother, Noah (Jacob Elordi). Not a problem . . . until Elle and Noah share a kiss at the kissing booth. Elle now risks Lee finding out and losing both of them.
