	Media	Author	Review
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"For all it messiness, might have some sneaky emotional weight to it (...) Still, that doesn’t keep the film from being predictable, even as it continues to pile on the complications."
		Courtney Howard Variety	"It delivers a few refreshing details by giving the heroine more agency in her quest to find happiness — yet not quite enough to justify its interminable run time."
		Natalia Winkelman The New York Times	"[A] deluge of invented drama which, mercilessly, unspools over more than two hours."
		Stephanie Zacharek Time	"Is 'The Kissing Booth 2' a good movie? Yes and no (...) [It] is kind of terrible and kind of wonderful."
		Robyn Bahr The Hollywood Reporter	"Frothy and puttering, but its attention to female sexuality distinguishes it. "
		Diksha Sundriyal TheCinemaholic	"[It] is simply interested in giving the audience what it wants (...) But even in that, it could have, at least, made the effort to be better (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Clarisse Loughrey The Independent	"Not as aggressively problematic as its predecessor, at least (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Alison Foreman Mashable	"[It] is better than its predecessor. Not much better, but improved just enough to make me separate "in" from 'sufferable'"
		Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"It’s long, dumb and there’s nothing below these high-school students’ conspicuously perfect complexions. But, hey, teens love this crap! (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"[It] has some fun moments, especially for fans, but is ultimately an overwrought, overstuffed and overlong teen romcom sequel.
		Caroline Siede AV Club	"[It] has good intentions—much more so than the first film (...) Yet when its teenage characters are as removed from real life as these ones are, it’s hard to imagine that message landing with any actual force."
		Lea Palmieri Decider	"This sequel feels like a regression, like it was playing it way too safe with the themes and storylines here and made the characters kinda boring and unoriginal."
		Monica Castillo rogerebert.com	"In some senses, this teen romantic comedy has it all (...) But 'The Kissing Booth 2' is also fairly empty, predictable and just downright silly (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
