Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List (2015)

This movie was so far beyond bad I can't even find any amusement from making fun of it. The titular Naomi is one of the most annoying characters ever committed to screen. Vapid, self-absorbed, lazy, irresponsible and mean-spirited. And then she's somehow surprised when her life goes to "ruins". And I use that term lightly considering she doesn't actually have any REAL problems to speak of. Just petty drama worthy of junior high brats. And the character is made all the more obnoxious by having some random, horrid actress cast in the role. Wouldn't be surprised if they fished her out of the dregs of the Disney channel....

Ely at least has some redeemable qualities. But he's spineless and refuses to stand up for himself as Naomi continuously walks all over him to make herself feel better about her sorry life. Their entire relationship is toxic. The co-dependency is borderline pathologic.

In short, the only people who could possibly enjoy this drivel are thirteen year old girls who want to have their pathetic lifestyles reaffirmed. Or grown adults who are thirteen year old girls at heart and refuse to grow up and join the real world.

Fmovies: The character of Naomi is so self centered. Clingy, whiny, attention craving. When bad things happen to her, you want to pause it, invite the neighbours in, dance around the TV letting off party poppers, shouting "Whoop whoop" She's an awful character, wouldn't be out of place in'Gossip Girl' Horrible character. I stuck with it because Ely and Alex are hot. Okay, apart from that, I associated with Ely's perspective. You can't help where the heart leads you. Annoying and, 'what's that about' having two sets of characters with the same name, even a boy and girl. I would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been for enduring Naomi.

Vapid narcissists Ely and Naomi maintain a toxic friendship where they are co-dependant and yet not honest to each other. An affair between their parents (which ended in a divorce and a barely-together-marriage) has not broken their bonds, even though they harbour unspoken resentment toward each other -- made worse by their ill-advised pact to never date boys they both find attractive.

Perhaps we'd feel concern for them if they weren't both so self-absorbed and actually wanted the best for each other. Nope, Naomi would rather Ely conform to her fantasy relationship with him where he is not gay and he gives her the love she lacks from her father -- and Ely would rather not call out Naomi on her disregard for her other friends and current boyfriends, or even call her out on being a bad college student for that matter.

What happens doesn't even matter -- like most kids they'll realise that they created most of these problems themselves, and that other people actually have REAL PROBLEMS and maybe they should actually get a hobby or something.

If this in any way resembles your life, SEE A THERAPIST ASAP. The characters in this movie are not real, and if they were, everyone would hate them, because they are horrible. Gain some perspective and watch the news or read a book. Just don't be Naomi or Ely. They suck.

Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List fmovies. Story: Terrible book gets turned into a (guess what) terrible movie. Noami leads a life of no responsibility in work, school, and home life. The entire premise of the movie, the "no kiss list" is an excuse for Naomi to keep Ely to herself by denying both of them any chance of finding love with a person of their own choosing.

Filmmaking: Train-wreck. The film could have been 15 minutes long if all the pop-music- montages were cut out. The DP favored super wide angle lenses without knowing how to use them (hand-held and panning with wide angles creates a nauseating effect on the edges of the frame). 95% of the film was hand-held for no apparent reason.

Perhaps 13 year old girls will enjoy this movie with the hope that they can be utterly annoying and useless for the rest of their lives.

I watched this movie with my family because my daughter is a big Victoria Justice fan. I thought I was going to have suffer through another mediocre high school themed movie but was pleasantly surprised. My 18 year old son and my husband were both emotional at the end. It teaches some really good life lessons and I highly recommend for kids 13 years of age and older. Having lived in NYC at different times in my life, it was wonderful to see the familiar landmarks throughout the film. Both my teenagers loved the movie and as I mentioned my husband was moved as well. I think this movie is a great conversation starter with teen aged kids!

No Kiss List isn't just another romantic comedy. It's much more complex than that with themes of love, yes, but also complicated friendships, maturation and family dynamics. Victoria Justice is relatable and likable as Naomi, and Pierson Fodé as Ely feels like a guy you would want as your gay best friend. My favorite character was Bruce 1. When I saw the movie at Outfest LA, the theatre was rolling in laughter at his hilarious comments and undying love for Naomi. In addition to laughter, there were sweet and sad parts of the movie that made me tear up a little. Overall, No Kiss List is entertaining, funny, heart-warming and also a little dramatic at times. Definitely recommend.
