My opinion on "the kissing booth"

Why hello there! This week, I told three new people about this blog and it increased my unique visitors x2! #progress
Anyways, today I watched Kissing Booth 2, and I thought it was just as bad as the first one... if not worse. Three-ish years ago, when the first Kissing Booth movie came out, I wrote a review on it giving it 3.5 stars. Today I retract my initial statement and say that both movies together earn a total of 3.5 stars. 1.5 stars go to the OG one, and 2 stars go to TKB2. If you are triggered by my rating, feel free to peruse the following review I wrote in June of 2018. My feelings towards this film have changed since then, and I feel like I have better points nowadays. Onwards!!

The following review was written by me in 2018. I promise my writing has hopefully improved. I am currently too EMBARRASSED to re-read it. good luck.

Okay, now that you've read that...

I'd say the three "words" that can sum up TKB2 are : Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust. This new film is very elementary. I think it was written by a seventh grader, and then Netflix just needed to put out another chick flik so that they can stay in business. The Kissing Booth franchise just pains me to watch--it makes you LOSE brain cells. 
When I was in fourth grade, we learned the acronym "THINK". It is used to remind kids to think before they speak.

Whilst watching this new film, I couldn't help but ask myself all of these questions. The sad part is that the answers to all but the final question are no. 
1. Is it true?
It's a fictional work. So...no it's not true.
2. Is it helpful?
Absolutely not. She deetes her college essay, which isn't even a good essay to begin with. Additionally, normal schools don't have slushy machines AND a "senior field day". 
3. Is it inspiring?
100% NO. This movie misinforms kids anticipating college applications. 

4. Is it necessary?
This is not necessary. I can happily move on with my life and not care about the movie.
5. Is it kind?
I mean i guess it is a kind movie overall, but it makes me cringe really hard, so that's not very kind.
As a rising senior in high school, I am allowed to state that The Kissing Booth is unrealistic. The stereotypes pain me because everything is so dramatized. Like really?! Did the directors/producers even actually go to high school? I still can't get over the fact that Joey King played Ramona, and I also can't get over the fact that the new kid plays guitar. #cliche. These are my 2 cents. I hope you've enjoyed. If you agree with my review please comment saying "yes" and if you disagree...leave a rebuttal. Until next time ;)
