Critics Consensus

Joey King makes The Kissing Booth 2 better than it could have been, but this slapdash sequel will leave viewers puckering up for all the wrong reasons.

Rachel Charlene Lewis Bitch Media While Noah and Elle's relationship feels less toxic in this film, which is slower and drags throughout its more than two-hour run, the pair still struggles to be honest with each other. Mar 16, 2021 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) To The Kissing Booth 2's credit, it's not as aggressively problematic as its predecessor. Rated: 2/5 Dec 9, 2020 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com You can soak in the movie's basic premise and overacting just as long as you know this pool's shallow. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 24, 2020 Full Review Joe Lipsett Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast While there's an over-reliance on montage and the film still can't make us invest in Elle & Noah as a couple, it's leaps and bounds better than the book, thanks to Joey King's committed performance and the addition of Taylor Zakhar Perez. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Susan Kamyab Irving Television If you liked the first film or you just enjoy a corny, predictable rom-com, this film is well worth a Netflix watch. Rated: C- Jun 24, 2021 Full Review Nick Levine NME (New Musical Express) There's less of the original's overt sexism, but Netflix's most-watched romcom series is as odious as ever. Rated: 1/5 May 11, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Jack t I felt like I never like any of them chick flicks due to them being boring and repetitive as hell but when I finished seeing The Kissing Booth, f**k me, this is awful. (Laughs) By far one of the most garbage movies I've seen today. And now we come the second one however, this one does the same thing. Anyways let's get on with it. Moments later, Elle's senior year begins with classmates gossiping that she and Noah will soon break up. This makes her fear elevate as Noah has befriended an attractive British girl named Chloe on Instagram. Elle and Lee are planning the kissing booth again for the Charity Fair. So, he is trying to convince her to ask Marco Peña, the new transfer student dubbed the new "Noah Flynn," to be one of the kissers. Beating Marco on the dancing game, she forces him to participate in the booth, the rest goes on and that's it. Now as I am watching this predicting something what's going to happen and not wanting to think myself the right answer but not really sure what was going to be and just as I am doing this it has me thinking that I'm going through The Twilight Saga and Bratz the Movie all over again. Ha! With Elle thinks Noah is cheating on her, she calls him to ask if he's alright or saying that she's alright. Or the other way right. I don't care. Everything about this movie is the same thing only at one time there's a dance competition on the stage after practising the moves. The Kissing Booth 1&2 are all god-awful and I'm up the third and last one which I think it'll be really, really awful. With everything in this entire trilogy, it makes me think of the bad times I had years ago and recently and it makes me think that I'm watching Bratz and Twilight again. Oh God, I'm not looking to the last one. Here goes nothing. Wish me luck.┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐ Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Socrates o Just read the critic reviews and I think the "critics" forgot what high school was like. This was meant to be a funny, but poignant look at teenage angst. Teenagers' emotional development is not socially conscience and introspective; it is about each kid trying to figure out where they are in the world. I had a vaguely similar relationship to Noah & Elle. My one-year older boyfriend went to Stanford & I had to navigate senior year, and 3 years of college without him. And I was also not honest. I am a retired high school English teacher. Sex is at the forefront of each teenager's mind. The movies reflects the abundant sexual hijinks in any US high school. The movie was spot on. It was real. It was not intended to be an adult's idea of what is appropriate. If anything, the movie held back on the darker side of drinking, drugs, and sexually predatory behavior. Kudos to them for keeping the film positive. I enjoyed the sarcastic dialogue & music. I laughed out loud many times, which I rarely do in movies. I thought it was interesting that no one commented on Taylor Perez, the devastatingly handsome competitor to Jacob Elordi. He has a sexy voice, an interesting singing voice, and a sexy physicality throughout the movie. The best part of this sequel was the music/soundtrack and the dance moves of Joey & Taylor. Listening to the "behind the scenes" interviews of the grueling process to create the onscreen product made me admire the final dance competition scene even more. Joey & Taylor performed 99% of that scene. Doubles were only used in the final backflip & when Joey was catapulted into the air. Very impressive when most directors would have used professional dancers. The outtakes shown at the end of the movie demonstrated the real friendship that developed among the 4 central characters. That chemistry shows when the actors deliver their lines. All of the actors commented on that aspect in media interviews. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Jeff There is something here. Pretty unneccesary and pretty bad though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review mesteyk Designs of the main characters meke no sense, and side characters are treated like a crops. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Ramn Argenis U Siento que mejoró pero es mala Lee es mal amigo y mal novio la actuación de Joey come elle es muy buena y pareja gay es única que me agrada y es mala y mediocre y gringe Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/23 Full Review Vincent P Es igual de mala no debió durar dos horas y lee me caiga mal pero ay algo elle es amable joey actúa bien y marco es agradable es un 2.5 de 10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
