From its auspicious beginning as a novel written by then-15-year-old author Beth Reekles on the self-publish site Wattpad, to its wildly popular film debut on, “The Kissing Booth” has proven itself a hit. It spoke to its target audience without speaking down to them, telling the story of a young woman confronted with the challenge of choosing between a longterm relationship with her male best friend or a budding romance with his hotter older brother.
High school senior Elle Evans has just spent the best summer of her life with her hunky, hot-tempered boyfriend Noah , basking in the California sun, bonding over board games and baring all her emotions. But now that school is back in session, he’s relocated 3,000 miles away, starting his freshman year at Harvard. That entails managing a packed class schedule, battling a time-zone difference, and making new friends — especially those of the opposite sex.

That said, this installment has a smidge more redeeming value than its predecessor. Presenting Elle with a healthier, supportive relationship alternative adds depth to her arc. The film also finds its strength by leaning heavily on the narrative’s inherent irreverence, from comedic pratfalls that add dimension to the beefcake on display to instances of heartrending humiliation, like Rachel’s ultimatum to Lee while she’s dressed as a sugary confection.
