The Kissing Booth 3

The Kissing Booth 3 is currently streaming in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. With 2,034 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it for Joey King — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

The Kissing Booth 3 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The Kissing Booth 3 gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. It’s the summer before Elle heads to college, and she has a secret decision to make. Elle has been accepted into Harvard, where boyfriend Noah is matriculating, and also Berkeley, where her BFF Lee is headed and has to decide if she should stay or not. Joey King and Joel Courtney lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2021. The Kissing Booth 3 earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in The Kissing Booth 3. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Joey King is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
