Joey King, Jacob Elordi, Joel Courtney, Meganne Young
The rules were made to be broken, but some loves are designed to echo through eternity. The Kissing Booth 4: Rules of Forever fast-forwards three years from that bittersweet motorcycle ride in the previous film, reuniting the Flynn brothers and Elle Evans for the most significant milestone of their adult lives: the wedding of Lee Flynn (Joel Courtney) and Rachel (Meganne Young).
Joey King returns as a more polished, yet still delightfully quirky Elle Evans. Now a rising star in the competitive world of San Francisco video game design, Elle believes she has finally hacked the code to a stable life. She is thriving professionally and is happily engaged to a dependable, pragmatic architect who offers her the safety and security she never had with the Flynns. However, her carefully constructed world begins to wobble when she returns to sunny Los Angeles as Lee’s “Best Woman,” forcing her back into the gravitational pull of the one variable she can’t control.
Enter Noah Flynn (Jacob Elordi), now a sharp-suited, high-powered corporate lawyer in New York. He has spent the last few years burying his heartbreak in billable hours and boardroom victories, becoming a man of steel determination but guarded emotions. When Elle and Noah lock eyes at the rehearsal dinner, the air leaves the room. The chemistry is no longer just high school infatuation; it is a palpable, electric tension that threatens to overshadow the nuptials.
As the wedding festivities spiral into chaos, the trio attempts to navigate the weekend using their old “Friendship Rules,” only to discover that the guidelines of their youth are woefully inadequate for the complexities of adulthood. Tensions boil over during a disastrous bachelor/bachelorette joint party, where old wounds are reopened and secrets regarding the true reason for their breakup spill out under the influence of tequila and regret.
The film builds to a heart-stopping crescendo at the wedding reception. In a gesture of nostalgic whimsy, Lee and Rachel unveil a fully reconstructed “Kissing Booth” as a charity gag for the guests. As the lights dim and the crowd parts, Elle and Noah find themselves standing on opposite sides of the counter one last time. Stripped of their defenses and facing the echoes of their past, they must make the ultimate choice: walk away and accept the safety of their separate lives, or break every rule in the book to prove that their love deserves a “forever.”
