– Love, Memory, and the Rules We Break
The much-anticipated final chapter of The Kissing Booth franchise is here, and The Kissing Booth 4: Rules of Forever (2026) is set to be a bittersweet, nostalgic ride through love, growth, and the lessons learned along the way. With Joey King reprising her role as Elle Evans, Jacob Elordi as Noah Flynn, and Joel Courtney as Lee, this romantic comedy-drama takes us on a journey of rediscovery, where the rules of love are tested and rewritten, and the past collides with the present in ways that feel both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Elle Evans has come a long way since her high school days, with new achievements, experiences, and growth under her belt. Now, as she returns to Los Angeles for Lee and Rachel’s wedding, the sparks of the past are reignited when she crosses paths with Noah. But Noah isn’t the same person he was back then. He’s more guarded, carrying the weight of unspoken truths and a past that continues to haunt him. Yet, despite the distance between them, the connection between Elle and Noah remains undeniable, like an ember that never quite went out.
As Elle and Noah navigate this new chapter of their relationship, old emotions resurface, and the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. Their reunion brings them face-to-face with the question they’ve both been avoiding for years: Was their love just a high school memory, or is it the story they were always meant to finish together? This question drives the heart of The Kissing Booth 4, as the two are forced to confront their past, their fears, and their futures.

The return of the iconic Kissing Booth—a symbol of their teenage love—adds an unexpected twist to their reunion. The Booth becomes more than just a place of memories; it’s a catalyst for a new beginning. But just as in the past, the Booth forces them to face uncomfortable truths and make decisions that will impact the course of their lives. Will they continue to live in the shadow of their high school romance, or is there a future where they can finally break the rules and follow their hearts?
The Kissing Booth 4 is not just about the love story between Elle and Noah. It’s also a farewell to a beloved franchise that has captured the hearts of fans for years. The film takes us through a journey of growth and change, showing us how the characters have evolved since the first Kissing Booth and how love, while timeless, is never quite the same as we remember it. The bittersweet nature of the film comes from the recognition that while these characters have changed, the love they share remains constant—something that transcends time and circumstance.
The performances of Joey King and Jacob Elordi bring an emotional depth to the film, as Elle and Noah grapple with the complexity of their feelings for each other. Their chemistry, always a driving force in the franchise, is as strong as ever, pulling audiences back into the world they fell in love with. There’s a rawness to their interactions, as both characters struggle to reconcile the past with the present, and to find a way forward that feels true to themselves and each other.

Joel Courtney, as Lee, provides much-needed support and levity, offering a touch of humor and camaraderie amidst the emotional heaviness of the story. Lee’s role in Elle and Noah’s relationship has always been central to the trio’s dynamic, and his presence in this final chapter is a reminder of the bonds of friendship that have stood the test of time.
Visually, The Kissing Booth 4 is a beautiful celebration of Los Angeles, with the backdrop of weddings, familiar locations, and iconic moments that bring back memories for both the characters and the fans. The cinematography captures the emotional depth of the story, with intimate moments between Elle and Noah contrasted with larger, more celebratory scenes that highlight the joy and chaos of life. It’s a perfect mix of nostalgia and new beginnings.
The film’s soundtrack also plays a crucial role in conveying the emotional beats of the story. Each song is carefully chosen to reflect the themes of love, loss, and the passage of time, enhancing the overall experience and leaving an imprint on the audience long after the credits roll.

As Elle and Noah’s journey comes to a close, The Kissing Booth 4: Rules of Forever leaves us with a feeling of closure, but also a sense of possibility.
