Review: The Kissing Booth 2



Hello, Everybody! I'm Santiago Brion and this is my review of The Kissing Booth sequel! The Rom-Com train at Netflix is still running and it is going strong and this worthy follow-up is a strong example of that.

Joey King, Jacob Elordi and Joel Courtney have returned to play their respective characters and it's like they never left us. The same infectious humor and everything that makes a movie a guilty pleasure. The Kissing Booth is widely considered to the best worst Rom-Com ever made and its sequel, The Kissing Booth 2 has what its predecessor had. Unintentional humor.

Elle Evans and Lee Flynn have reached their senior year while Noah's at Harvard. Elle and Lee apply to UC Berkeley while Elle applies to different schools in Boston without telling Lee. When Elle seizes the opportunity to get into a Dance Dance competition to win 50,000.00 to get in, she asks her fellow classmate Marco to become her partner, naturally.... well, you know the rest. Things get complicated. We've all seen this cliche before in romantic movies and that is... misunderstandings! This plays a huge part in this movie. Elle kept thinking that Noah was cheating on her until it was all a misunderstanding. It's a rollercoaster of emotions in an otherwise deeply flawed teen rom-com. 

While Kissing Booth 2 was long and it did have many issues, it's an otherwise great watch and a handful of moments like when Elle accidentally turned on the intercom, Lee faking his ankle injury, Rachel's public outburst(I couldn't help but laugh), Elle and Marco's dance performance, the awkward Thanksgiving dinner, that same-sex kiss and the blooper well during the end credits(saved the best for last)!

Romantic comedies are my least favorite genre, but they are at least watchable for the actors' chemistry. If you're looking for love don't do anything you see in a Rom-com because that would be inappropriate. Just get tips online not from movies. 

I'll give this one a 6/10

Again, I thought it was great, it was just soo long. I would've liked it better if it was shorter. This is still a great sequel tho.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to comment your thoughts down below.

Most Anticipated Movies of 2021

Most Anticipated Movies of 2021 Hello, Everybody! It has been roughly... 13 days since I've posted my last blog post because I was writing a bunch of ideas and I have a lot and I have a couple of drafts that I still need to get back to. Since that we're halfway through the year and that we won't get to see any of these big movies that were supposed to come out this year, I made a list of all of the movies that I can't wait to see! This movie's release dates will most likely subject to change and I'll probably update it after any of these movie's dates have been pushed back by another year. Ok, here's the list. 25. Gucci Although Ridley Scott's next movie is The Last Duel, there will also be another movie of his that's coming next year. The movie is a biopic about Patrizia Reggiani(who will be played by Lady Gaga), the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci who was tried and convicted for orchestrating an assassination of him and served 18 years in prison befo

Anyway, here's my list of the movie sequels that I think are superior than the first movie. Let me know in the comments below what your favorite movie sequel is! Ok. LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!! 20. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm The most recent and relevant movie on this list, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm or better called as Borat 2 saw the titular iconic character made by Sacha Baron Cohen to return to America to deliver a monkey to Mike Pence only for his plans. to go horribly awry when his 15-year-old daughter shows up. It's a surprisingly emotional story about the relationship of a father and her daughter and the depths that they both go to achieve their goals. While its signature humor is in there, what makes it superior are the performances of Baron Cohen and new
