It's almost time for another trip to "The Kissing Booth," and this year, fans should
pucker up for some bittersweet send-off smooches from all of your favorite characters.
That's right.
Based on Beth Reekles' books, "The Kissing Booth 3" will bring the beloved film series
to an end, and fans will finally get to find out what the future holds for Elle, Noah,
Lee, and the rest of the Los Angeles Country Day High School crew.
The future is bright for all of them -- even though Elle still has some major decisions
to make -- because the Flynns' epic beach house is officially open for the summer, which
means they'll get to spend some quality time together kicking up sand.
It might not be all fun in the sun though.
Before the film arrives this August, here's a look at what else you need to know about
"The Kissing Booth 3."
Elle and Lee's lifelong friendship has always been shaped by their sacred set of rules,
but in "The Kissing Booth 3," they'll get the chance to follow an entirely different
kind of list.
While spending some time at his parents' beach house, the two discover their old "beach bucket
list" of all the wild activities they planned to do together before college.
And soon enough, they'll get to work checking off those boxes.
As Elle faces a decision about whether to forgo their long-held plan to both attend
Berkeley for college, digging into some of their other, less serious projects might just
be what the two need to reconnect.
After all, it's been a tough couple of years for Elle and Lee as they learned the hard
way that some rules are meant to be bent or even broken when it comes to matters of the
heart.
These two besties sure could use some good old-fashioned fun right about now.
"This is the best day of my life."
Of course, Elle will have a lot of other things on her plate besides going skydiving and sumo
wrestling with Lee all summer.
She'll also have to face the possibility that her choices about college might disappoint
Noah, and we haven't quite seen the last of the dashing dance game champion Marco.
As the final moments of "The Kissing Booth 2" teased, while Elle decided that her heart
fully belonged to Noah, Marco wasn't ready to give up on his feelings for her just yet.
"Come on, bro.
She's not worth it."
"Yes she is."
And in the preview for "The Kissing Booth 3," it looks like Elle will get to be friends
with Marco again, but that might not be enough for him.
He'll make his feelings about her relationship crystal clear to her and come face to face
with Noah at last.
Chloe is obviously on her side and has lots of nice things to say about her.
Even the handsy Tuppen is coming back to get a taste of his own tushie-smacking medicine
for good measure.
There will be a lot of familiar faces, but the challenges they'll face in the movie are
brand new.
Even though the guys in her life will clearly take up a lot of her time and energy during
her last summer before college, it looks like Elle will also get some solid advice from
her second mother, Mrs. Flynn.
"Maybe your choices have more to do with what other people want?
Maybe it's time you think about what you want."
Throughout the story of the "Kissing Booth" trilogy, Elle has always been deeply concerned
with doing her best to keep the people she loves happy, but it's clear from the trailer
that all of this effort will take a toll on her.
"The Kissing Booth" started with Elle learning to embrace her feelings for Noah after the
chance kiss that changed everything about her friendship with Lee.
In the second film, her bonds with the boys were challenged by the arrival of a few new
faces.
And while we'll have to wait to see what's in store for the third movie in the series,
it's apparent that Elle's journey will be focused on being true to herself, regardless
of what the men in her life want from her.
One thing that's clear is that fans can expect a lot more laughs and heartfelt moments as
Elle learns to embrace what she really desires.
The film will blend the series' unique sense of comedy and compelling characters with some
real emotional depth as the gang spends one last summer together before reaching an important
crossroad in life.
So make sure to bring your popcorn and tissues along when "The Kissing Booth 3" arrives on
Wednesday, August 11.
