A Barraca do Beijo 2

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.

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.

It was like they put together every cliche trope from every rom com into one. A lot of it wasn't realistic to their age group and the actors they casted definitely looked older than they were supposed to. It was way worse than the first one.

But it's better than first. It's not as annoying. I still hate Elle Evans as a character though. The screenplay is bad and incredibly predictable. The main conflict is uninteresting. The gay subpolt is nice because it involves characters that aren't Elle, but they didn't really find a way to make it work so it felt really unnecessary. It was like Netflix's usual thing for including random gay characters just to prove that they're inclusive too guys. Also why does this movie have a Good Vibrations cover play at the end, that song is way too good for this trash.
