It is a Netflix teen phenomenon: the rare sequel of a film that holds a dismal 17% score on Rotten Tomatoes and then sets up yet another sequel.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s long, dumb and there\u2019s nothing below these high-school students\u2019 conspicuously perfect complexions. But, hey, teens love this crap!<\/p>\n<p>After a romantic summer on the beach, Elle (Joey King) and Noah (Jacob Elordi) are still dating, only he has gone off to Harvard and she is considering UC Berkeley. Nobody demonstrates the sort of intellectual prowess that would convince me that this pair could realistically get into those schools.<\/p>\n<p>Elle\u2019s male bestie, Lee (Joel Courtney, the most charming part of this), wants her to join him at Berkeley, but she is determined to stand by her man and go East. That plot is kind of like Elle Woods heading to Harvard Law in \u201cLegally Blonde,\u201d but absent the basic feminism of that iconic 19-year-old comedy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16026521\"><img alt=\"Joey King and Taylor Zakhar Perez in a scene from \"The Kissing Booth 2.\"\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"662\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Joey King and Taylor Zakhar Perez in a scene from \u201cThe Kissing Booth 2.\u201d<\/span><span>Marcos Cruz\/Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In Noah\u2019s absence \u2014 as often h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens \u2014 Elle meets an ever hotter new student named Marco (Taylor Zakhar Perez), who plays sports, rocks the guitar and is a smooth dancer. They enter a \u201cDance Dance Revolution\u201d-like competition together. It gets messy.<\/p>\n<p>At Harvard, Noah does not invent <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, but he does become close friends with a savvy and beautiful British woman named Chloe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers). A jealous Elle decides he\u2019s cheating on her.<\/p>\n<p>Both of the \u201cKissing Booth\u201d films, which are based on Beth Reekles\u2019 young-adult book <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, are about how impossibly difficult it is for guys and girls to just be friends. <em>Duh<\/em>. That one theme is then propped up by tedious filler, such as the returning plot from the original of setting up a charity kissing booth.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s terrible, but teens will eat it up anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Quoth \u201cBye Bye Birdie\u201d: \u201cKids!
