In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Kissing Booth 3 largely bypasses heavy-handed woke messaging, sticking to mainstream teen romance themes. It’s as ideologically milquetoast as they come, no revolution, just high school melodrama and summer beach parties.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Kissing Booth 3 mostly sticks to light teen romance territory. Character arcs are driven by personal decisions and relationships rather than overt ideological messaging. The casting choices seem aimed at broad young adult appeal rather than tokenism, and the leads are developed enough to avoid being mere identity vessels.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family ties, loyalty, and classic romantic relationships are central, even if explored with a modern, sometimes frivolous touch. Masculinity, femininity, and morality aren’t actively undermined or pathologized, though deeper explorations are largely absent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film showcases modern teen culture and leans progressive in its framing, it doesn’t go out of its way to villainize or caricature traditional viewpoints. Alternative perspectives are not heavily explored, but the focus is more on lighthearted drama than messaging.
