I basically predicted the entire movie after 10 Minutes.

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'll be honest; I went into The Kissing Booth 2 expecting it to be terrible. Instead, I got a movie that was better than the original, although that isn't saying much. It is the rare sequel that is stronger than the original, and I was pretty interested in it throughout. Elle makes some smart decisions in this movie, and each one of them is really satisfying to watch (especially tricking Marco into playing that dance game). The Elle in the original Kissing Booth wouldn't have done that, and it's nice to see how she's grown as a character. Additionally, it was hard to see where the plot was going. I never really could predict what would happen between Elle and Marco, or Elle and Noah for that matter. These are some of the things for this movie that I liked.

I think this was a cute movie just like the first one..The actors still look too old to be playing teenagers. All of them are in their 20's and look it....still this was a cute rom com. I enjoyed it....

Firstly why was this 2 hours long??? Secondly why was it that bad, but ended on such a cliff hanger??

My advise would be give this one a miss...

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 movie is what it's suppose to be. I wasn't disappointed by it. I had a good time while watching. Might feel a bit unreal, but it's a teenager movie and it's amusing and shows that sometimes people have a hard time communicate but in the end they manage to solve their issues by doing it. Think it was a bit better than the first, and the fact it add other people and stories in between, wasn't at all a problem to me, it was better that way. There was more to see, instead of just focusing on Lee, Elle and Noah. I really think people shouldn't be bashing the movie over a bad line in it. It wasn't their brightest moment, but don't think it was on purpose, people are just taking it way too serious. Nowadays everyone mocks with everything and do a lot worse, so I really don't think there is a reason to be bashing the movie this way.

In all honestly, I know a ton of people from stan twitter are gonna come after a lot of people for reviewing this and not like what I have to say, but this is an honest review section that doesn't apply to their online platform. Caution SLIGHT SPOILER: Yes, there is one very brief scene where a distasteful joke is made about Bieber's appearance from the time he was suffering from lyme disease (an onstage amateur comedian calls out his "trucker look"). It's a cheap shot at comedy, but not as offensive as they are making it out to be, plus it doesn't draw out and is said in a light fashion, but the scene itself is said in a stand-up comedy bar, which are KNOWN for being offensive and pushing boundaries. They are not meant to appease you or make you comfortable, its meant to be controversial and they target every person regardless of their circumstance, it's not an isolated occasion for Bieber. It's been done for literal years and it's stupid that people are flipping out over it even to the point of harassing people who weren't involved, yes seriously, people are that obsessed. It's amazing that in a film like this that carries misogynistic messages for its young viewers that people would be the most upset over this trivial thing. Mind you this was part of a montage scene so it only appears for less than TWO SECONDS and is a throwaway line so I have no idea why people are so pressed. Just because it's making fun of bieber do people (especially fangirls) feel the need to be angry about it, and no even if he was a woman (like one "review" stated, there would not be outrage like this), remember Britney and Lindsey in 2007? No one sticking up for them when they clearly had drug and mental health problems, these people are just hypocrites who like to complain because they are obsessed with a celebrity who doesn't know they exist. Just keep this in mind before you choose to watch or not because it is ridiculous to boycott a film like this just because you get "offended" over a joke that doesn't add or impact the storyline. Wish people would think for themselves and not just listen to everything twitter tells them. Anyway, the film itself is definitely an improvement from the last one, the storyline is more compelling and the acting was definitely better, but somehow is slightly more cringey in many aspects and I think the Kissing booth theme is kind of irrelevant for this plot and left messy at the end.

HAVE THEY LEARNED NOTHING FROM THE FIRST MOVIE?? i can't believe this was even worse, i honestly feel so sorry for the 13 year olds that are gonna gobble up this movie like it's free cake or something (as much as i hate to admit it, i probably would've been one of them). the way these kinds of movies depict high school is honestly just so UNHEALTHY; it's as if high school was THE MOST important part in life and as if the relationships you have in high school were the ones! that! will! define! you! for! life! which is why they're obviously complete life-and-death situations! the characters are so unrealistic and pretentious, and the dialogues (unsurprisingly) made me feel uncomfortable as hell. i bet the casting call for marco was just "must look exactly like jacob elordi with darker hair". and don't even get me started on the MONTAGES. it's almost as if at some point they ran out of cringy dialogues, so they just opted for cringy montages with even cringier music instead. I ABSOLUTELY LOST IT AT THE MONTAGE OF ALL THE ADMISSION OFFICERS READING ELLE'S ESSAY AND LOOKING LIKE THEY JUST INHALED A FRESH BREEZE OF MOUNTAIN AIR, SAW THE BLUEST SKY, HAD THEIR SOULS CLEANSED AND REDISCOVERED THEIR WILL TO LIVE.

2 ⭐'s

The first one was cute because Joey and Jacob were in love on camera so the movie was kind of magical.

This one was so bad. They were so awkward around each other, even 'by the phone', it was hard to watch. Their interactions were just too cringy and uncomfortable.

The plot was meh. The love triangle or square was done horribly.

The 2 ⭐'s were for Joey and Joel, they were awesome together. They should have gone to that direction a.k.a. best friends to lovers. It would have been much nicer.

If u into the love and stuff it's pretty good, the way it ends is good too

There are so many reasons to enjoy this sequel, one being that the female lead has such a likeable character. She's fun, quirky and really believable. I find that the movie has multiple relatable situations that I think many of us have experienced at one point or another in our lives. It had a good storyline and message regaring how young adults fall under pressure figuring out their uncertain future. All in all it was a smiling, enjoyable, decent movie to watch on a Friday night. It's as good as you can get for an American teenage romcom.

This movie is the complete opposite of the first one. The first one I would give a 9/10. This movie was so bad! Could not tell what the plot was the entire time. Everything was so random. Not heartwarming like the first one. Literally trash. Atleast they have two really attractive actors in it. That is what kept me watching for the entire 2 hours of this terrible movie. I would never recommend watching this movie to anyone. The lessons of it are very bad and young brains should not learn these ways of life. All in all, # 2 on my list of worst movies I have ever seen following Hereditary.

What I liked most about this movie is how mature it is for a teen genre.

The story offers nothing new but what's new and smart seems to lie in how each character handled every situation. The story is also very much relatable.

I feel Joey King is going to have a promising career in the teen genre we like. She's very normal and she doesn't over do it. She delivered the role perfectly.

Lee is so adorable and I really began to forget they were acting seeing how real their chemistry was.

I really had a soft spot for the new faces Marco and Chloe. Chloe just owns it. She has this awesome personality and I was sure she was going to keep it til the end of the movie. Marco showed nothing but sweetness and I could tell by his last words "yes, she is" that there is going to be a third part and he's going to be in it.

All in all, I rarely have fun watching a movie I usually keep my focus and forget to just enjoy it... but this one was indeed a blast!
