4. Elle gets too drunk at a party, and there are literally no consequences.
The Kissing Booth didn't shy away from underage drinking when it came time to showing your run-of-the-mill high school party. Scantily clad girls were doing "shooters," and obviously Elle didn't hesitate before knocking a few back herself. Unfortunately, she quickly reaches three sheets to the wind-level intoxicated and ends up stripping down to her underwear in front of the entire party.
Although there's no nudity involved, getting drunk to the point that you're taking off your clothes isn't a good look for anybody. Plus, any stranger with a smartphone could've easily snapped a photo or two of Elle — and that kind of behaviour can haunt kids for the rest of their lives.
5. The female characters' self-worth solely rides on whether or not boys like them — and that's extremely problematic.
Although teenage girls can be a little boy-crazy in real life, this movie paints them in a pretty god-awful light. Not only is Elle completely hung up on every single word Noah says to her, but the rest of the female characters are just as bad. Take the group of popular girls Elle dubs "The OMGs." All they talk about is how to get boys' attention the entire movie. Early on, a girl named Gwyneth declares that she wants to have two babies with Noah, so yes, it's all downhill from there.
