The Kissing Booth 2

This may be shocking for you, but I actually found the first movie of this franchise quite enjoyable. However, in the sequel, The Kissing Booth loses all of its quirky charms, which replaced by factors that makes a typical Netflix coming of age romance movie, cliche and predictable.

I didn't like the first one very much, but watched the second one anyway (my fault I guess!) I hoped it would be better but is dumb, too long (over 2 hours!) and very predictable. There was also possibly the cringiest sentence ever uttered in a romcom EVER! I'll probably still watch the 3rd one when it comes out, but only because I really hope Elle and Lee will FINAL realise how PERFECT they together as they have the best chemistry by far.

I went in blind when watching this, and was pleasantly surprised. I liked this one more than the first one because it is more mature than and deals with challenges of a coming of age story would represent. I know it's based off of book two by Beth Reekles, but I haven't read either one.

It was decent paced movie despite adding new characters and situations to the tally, all the while still maintaining the spirit of the first one. The way this one concludes, the rest of the storyline will be picked up in the next installment.

I say give it a shot.

The first Kissing Booth was enjoyable to watch and had a clear plot even if it was cheesy. I feel that the second film cannot quite for this description. The plot of the film is very weak and the writing could have been better. Some voiceover was just reiterating points we already got from the visual aspects and already developed concepts. When it comes to the characters you don't see any development in them at all. Other than that It was nice to see a gay couple in the film, however there was no real backstory or real story line to the characters. They felt like a quick add in to the film to make Netflix more inclusive. The acting was often sub par at best and quite a few of outdoor shots especially could have been much better in exposure and more. I also found the soundtrack to be lacking and some covers were not pleasing! I was expecting the film to not be amazing but I was disappointed. The film feels like people liked the first one so they just threw out a sequel.

I basically predicted the entire movie after 10 Minutes.
