Like most media aimed at a younger audience, "The Kissing Booth" has a few moments designed to catch the attention of the adults watching, including direct references to classic '90s rom-coms and even a cast member whose career is nearly synonymous with the genre. "The Kissing Booth" series is primarily targeted at Zoomers, though it invokes romantic comedy tropes dating back decades.
