Wondering if The Kissing Booth 3 is ok for kids? Yes, there is a 3rd Kissing Booth movie on Netflix. It’s rated TV-14 for language and some sexual content. As the main friends get older, they do some adult things while also acting their age, too. There is some inappropriate content for kids, but overall it’s more tame than The Kissing Booth 2. Here’s what parents need to know in The Kissing Booth 3 Parents Guide.
The Kissing Booth 3 Parents Guide
Elle (Joey King) has big decisions to make. Should she go to Berkeley like she and best friend, Lee, have always planned or should she choose Harvard to be with her boyfriend, Noah (Jacob Elordi)? Oh yeah, and Marco’s back to throw a wrench in things. This is supposed to be the best summer ever, but as Elle tries to put everybody first, things get chaotic.
Why is The Kissing Booth 3 rated TV-14? Mostly for mature content, underage drinking, and language.
Language
It seemed like there was less language in The Kissing Booth 3 than the first two. There were still a few uses of sh*t, bi*ch, damn, a**hole, hell, and OMG.
Mature Content
There is some sexual content where two characters are shown in bed in their underwear making out and implied sexual relations.
Two characters talk about moving in together.
Also the main characters have graduated from high school and are often allowed to stay in a beach house by themselves.
Two characters get in a fight and one punches the other.
There is underage drinking and partying, with some characters getting drunk.
Is The Kissing Booth 3 Appropriate for Kids Under 14?
If your kids have seen the other Kissing Booth movies, then this one isn’t going to put them over the edge. The Kissing Booth 3 is the finale and felt a little like To All the Boys: Always and Forever – a conclusion to characters people have grown to love.
So yes, these high school graduates do very mature things and are allowed to sleep wherever they want, come and go as they please. But technically they’re adults in the movie. Just be wary of kids thinking this is normal and life is a party all the time.
The problem with a 3rd movie in a teenage rom-com is that you run out of fresh ideas for plots. It’s the same old love triangle, and the green-screen camera work is not good. I’m looking at you, opening summer fun montage.
But will teens like it? Sure. Once again, the good-looking actors doing fun things trope plus throw in some love conflict and you have yourself a hit.
The Kissing Booth 3 isn’t anything new, but it’s the guilty pleasure of tweens and teens.
