But “The Kissing Booth 2” is also fairly empty, predictable and just downright silly a movie about cookie cutter characters in contrived situations set in a make-believe world. In some senses, this teen romantic comedy has it all: betrayal, jealousy, mean girls, public apologies, a video game-dance competition, a heated Thanksgiving meltdown, both romantic and sad montages set to slow pop songs. Their challenge this year is to find the next hot guy on campus to help them sell tickets, but the suave, singer-guitar player and dancer Marco ( Taylor Zakhar Perez), like Noah before him, isn’t keen on the idea at first. Back at school, Elle and Lee are once again in charge of the film’s namesake kissing booth, with admittedly much less fanfare this time. Now, it’s Elle who has to choose whether to follow Lee to their mothers’ alma mater at UC Berkeley or find a school in Boston so she can join Noah.īut what’s high school and first love without heaps of drama? Adding to Elle’s worries is Noah’s new college buddy, Chloe ( Maisie Richardson-Sellers), a statuesque threat who seems to be getting too close to her guy. In the original movie, Elle made Lee choose whether to accept her relationship with his brother, Noah, or reject it and end their friendship. homes and the posh prep school where they met. Elle clings to her best friend for company as long distance begins taking its toll on her relationship with Noah ( Jacob Elordi), now a newly minted Harvard hunk studying across the country from their idyllic upscale L.A.
Elle ( Joey King) and Lee ( Joel Courtney) have thankfully repaired their tight knit friendship in time for their senior year, until Lee’s girlfriend, Rachel ( Meganne Young), grows tired of Elle’s constant presence in his life. “The Kissing Booth” is back with a similar premise of troubled young love but with some new twists and a few new characters. It’s not always the most encouraging sign for a character to yell this line in a sequel, but here we go again.
