Giggling is the easy part of this YA romcom, which is cute, funny, and totally meant for teens to watch in groups. Somewhat more difficult is wading through the ethical murkiness Sean taking compensation to date Flora. Go to Full Review

Sean T @RT02002847 Mar 15 Its corny and the usual teen rom-com story. The thing is that this story is cornier than usual and the characters are so corny, clueless and gullible. Its a waste of money making this movie. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Mar 8 Kissing Is the Easy Part is a heartfelt romance drama that may follow a familiar formula, but it still manages to be an enjoyable watch. The film stars Asher Angel, who delivers a strong performance and shows how much he has grown as an actor. Seeing him transition from younger roles into a romantic lead is interesting, and he brings genuine charm and emotion to the character. The storyline itself feels somewhat predictable, with many moments that resemble typical romance films. Despite that, the film still works because the chemistry between the characters helps keep the story engaging. The emotional moments land well enough to make the journey worthwhile. Not every performance is perfect, as the main actress can feel a bit cheesy at times. Even so, the cast mostly keeps the story grounded. Overall, it’s a pleasant surprise and a decent romance that’s worth checking out. See more Kynzie B. @kynz05 Mar 1 Absolutely loved it, hope there’s a second! See more alliyah B @alliyah Feb 28 FINALLY romcoms are back. i absolutely love this movie, its funny, romantic, and emotional in its own way. i like the writing but it went off road a few times but it always makes up for it. I'm a lesbian and absolutely love lesbian romcoms, but this is literally my first straight romcom in ages. See more Joshua K @JLKey Feb 21 I absolutely loved every bit of Kissing Is the Easy Part. From start to finish, the film beautifully captures the raw, tender, and sometimes awkward magic of young love in a way that feels authentic and deeply relatable. Sean and Flora’s chemistry is undeniable — their story isn’t just about romance, but about growth, vulnerability, and the bittersweet transition from adolescence into something more meaningful. What truly sets this film apart is its emotional honesty. It reminds us that while falling in love feels effortless and magical, what comes after — communication, sacrifice, maturity, and navigating life’s unexpected turns — is where the real work begins. The storytelling left me wanting more in the best way possible. We must have a sequel — Love Is the Hard Part or Life Is the Hard Part — following Sean and Flora beyond high school as they navigate adulthood together. This film doesn’t just tell a love story — it begins one, and I’m not ready for it to end. See more Pauline S @Pauline_S Feb 20 THE BEST ROM-COM OF 2026, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. THE ACTING IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, AND THE CHEMISTRY IS OFF THE CHARTS!!! WATCH IT!!! I’M TELLING YOU!!! 💕✨ See more Read all reviews
