THIS
REVIEW CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
The
Kissing Booth 2 follows Elle, a high school senior who’s in a long distance
relationship to college student Noah Flynn. The film is about them and learning
if they truly trust each other, Elle trusting Chloe is just Noah’s friend and
Noah if Marco is truly just Elle’s dance friend.
I like how they focused on
there being a financial limit with Elle. The first film it felt like money was
no object but now we focus on the struggles of a widowed father having to put
BOTH of his kids through education , not just Elle.
I
thought we had established that the rules were dumb. Why are we still focusing
on the 6 year old rule of only ever going to school together? They literally
had no choice up until now. Rules can be broken and it’s ok.
Rachel’s monologue and sticking up for herself at the Halloween
party, amazing. Yes, Elle is lonely but Rachel needs alone time with her
boyfriend. It’s important for a line to be drawn. And I’m glad to see that prom
actually had an effect on her. She has more guts than in the last movie which
was deserved.
I’m
sorry why didn’t we pick Marco. Just asking for LITERALLY EVERYONE! He was
cute, he had a good haircut. They liked the same thing. He helped her win
$50000. How was Noah in anyway a better fit?!
I
like Noah’s vulnerability in the last scene. We see past all the anger and
bravado and see that he hasn’t been doing well and that he needed support. It’s
ok to need help, especially in college. Noah probably felt intimidated by his
college friends and their intense discussions, realising he wasn’t the biggest
fish in the pond anymore.
Also,
it shows long distance relationships are hard. There’s a lot of trust involved
and if you don’t commit then you won’t make it. That’s a key lesson Elle and
Noah learn in TKB2.
Final
shoutout goes to the gay couple story line. It was just really pure and I was
glad to see everyone so accepting of them cuz ya know it can be hard.
