The Kissing Booth 2 review another dose of school prep drama

The smudging carnival takes a back seat on The Kissing Booth 2, a bewildering sequel from Netflix that finds Elie 

Joy King

 alongside her best friend Lee Joel Courtney and returns to more adventures in middle school. Before the end of the school year, Elle must reconcile college admissions, subtle torment, friendship problems, and the most ridiculous, high-level dancer video competition held within a huge plaza. Director Vince Marcelo is very inclined to montage to get us out of this flood of invented drama that has, without mercy, disintegrated for over two hours.

Dedicated fans may remember that Elle, in The Kissing Booth, played football. But this sport - and any trace of regular high school activity - is going down here. Instead, Elie's classmates compete in elaborate color warfare and go to enchanting dances that resemble Met Gala more than a school job. Many rumors surround the kind student, Marco Taylor Zakhar Perez who begins to compete for Eli's attention. She is, all the time, longing after Noah (Jacob Pink), her distant boyfriend whom we mention a lot, attending Harvard as a modern student. The vibe of the boy dominated was a source of much tension in the first movie but here, fortunately, it appears to have alleviated the aggression.

If "The Kissing Booth", full of retrogressive relationship dynamics, is Victorian in its views, then "The Kissing Booth 2" advances to the middle of the century. Elle is no longer a target to own and protect him, and while true love is still of paramount importance, the story comes to appreciate personal growth. Marcello makes this subject literal in Elle's asinine College's essay: "What do you want to be in five years?" In the most reasonable rhythm in this movie, Elie's answer is loaded with trivialities.
