Ойын-сауық
Today we engage with the Kissing Booth 2 way more seriously than it deserves to be engaged with and discuss how we'd transform it into a competent piece of teen comedy-drama.

“The Kissing Booth 2: 2 Kissing, 2 Booth” absolutely destroyed me
as a former wattpad harry styles fan fic enthusiast, the first kissing booth movie was so perfect to me. the part where she say “as i ran home” and was literally slowly jogging home killed me it was perfect
laughing at everyones bad american accents then finding out jacob elordi is australian is weirdly impressive

finally someone acknowledges how bad the hair is!! what happened with the stylists?? did they just spray suave kids detangler in her hair and then forget to brush it?? it boggles the mind

What I've heard is that Joey King actually was wearing a wig bc she was shooting The Act at the time and had to keep her hair super short for that
Coming from your Degrassi vid and being delighted to find a plethora of other videos specifically relevant to my interests…. Cannot wait to binge watch thank u

“the fellowship of the booth” made me scream 😭
The kissing booth 1&2 is a guilty pleasure to me just like the twilight saga😂 I just like to have them on in the background when I’m doing something
Omggg I did not know some of this was filmed in South Africa. Makes so much sense now bc the school looks like the schools in blood and water.
I really like this video. When I first watched the Kissing Booth I was super depressed and it literally revived me. I always had a soft spot for it (while acknowledging how bad it was, objectively). I really like your tender way of describing it!! I also think your script-doctoring of the sequel would have been great. I was a bit disappointed by the sequel but I am also so excited about the third! I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, but I see myself the first one privately at least a few more times! And just knowing I can is oddly comforting.

I'm glad you liked it! and I'm glad the movie did that for you. obviously it's not a great piece of art, but there's something kind of infectious about it. it has a similar effect on me
i had no idea this movie was filmed in south africa??? the hell? that explains so much
I honestly think that if everything stayed the same and Elle just chose Marco over Noah this movie would have been 10x better. It would have been such a breath of fresh air that I think everyone would have ignored all the other problems imho.
I can't believe I finally found someone who also loves watching ironically the kissing booth. I'm totally agree with all you said. great video!
I watched the second kissing booth while on vacation with my little sister and her friends. (Never saw the first.) Some of the most fun I've had watching a bad movie in forever. But also, yes, it's wayyy too long. Edit: Chloe gave off such strong sapphic vibes, I agree. I thought that was what they were setting up the whole time.
no bc thank you for appreciating the kissing booth in the same way i do, it’s terrible but it’s so incredibly bad that it’s a genuinely funny masterpiece
The fact that you have 3k views without a single dislike is really impressive! Love your content :D
I’m so glad someone brought up her hair, terrible in the sequel as well but that gets slack for being a wig…what’s the first movie’s excuse?

Thaaaank you for talking about the length, oh my gosh. It had no business being so long. Also, I'm here from your Degrassi vid as well and I'm just going to echo what everyone else is saying: You're a great channel and you definitely deserve more subscribers! Subbed and psyched to watch your channel grow.
kuch kuch hota hai is literally one of my favourite films and it pains me to admit the similarities in those scenes.
The part where you showed you & your sister dressed up for the Kissing Booth 2 premiere kills me 😭
6:15 Wow, and you two freaking brought it
You are so pretty and confident like I couldn’t stop thinking it so I figured I’d leave a comment. I would want someone to tell me I was noticeably looking and doing really good. A+ on ur mind body spirit cuz you glow 👏👏🤩✨🎊
side note but YOU LOOK SO GOOD W BANGS LIKE THAT?!?
I really wish you could make all my movies … also bahahah I love your humour so mucha 😚👌🏼💋✨
Okay I watched the movie after watching this video and I really enjoyed it as an experience. But I do see what they were going for with Chloe and Noah, so I disagree a little bit. Like I think the idea of making Chloe a lesbian, which I know you already admitted is a lazy/kind of offensive trope, would kind of skip over a theme I think they were trying to reiterate. The whole series they constantly remind you about how important Lee and Elle’s platonic friendship is even when they both have separate significant others and since you kind of didn’t mention it in your re-write I was pleasantly surprised when Noah said he wanted what Elle had with Lee but with Chloe. It was just unbelievable at first because they’re both like models but as far as trying to stick to the thesis of the franchise I dug that. However, overall I more so agree with your last re-write, growing up and dumping Noah is fine too lol I thought Marco was fine, but I actually felt like she interacted more with Noah than I thought she would based on the video. The DDM contest was hot tho. And when they were practicing in the arcade I was like wtf, there are children here, you guys are breathing super hard all over each other and some poor kid just wants a turn on the machine u guys have been hogging for months lol
The “black best friend trope” and the “poc rival love interest trope” are cousins don’t try to prove me wrong (bc you can’t)
I've never seen any of the kissing booth movies but I've watched so many of these types of videos I somehow know every plot point... yikes!
You really just explained why I always think they shoulda went with the second choice 😭😭
I somehow lost ur channel after watching the degrassi video, very thankful KZread brought me back with ur new degrassi video so I can binge the rest of ur content :D Love ur videos! Wondering what ur take is on the new kissing booth now lmao

I’ve probably watched the first one over 100 times 💀😂 it’s my fall asleep movie. But Idk why in kissing booth 2 when Marco is like “is this how you guys spend your Friday nights conning people on the ddm machine” cracks me up every time😂😂
This is amazing
I’m 2 years late to this video but this was amazing. Justice for Marco
Great rewrite of the movie!
can we talk about how both of her love interests look basically the exact same
Okay, so what does the easy bake oven line even mean? I've experienced this franchise exclusively through video essays and I think I'm in too deep to watch for context. But everyone just brushes past that line like it's a totally normal dismissal.

Okay 1) how did I not know the kissing booth was based on a wattpad story 2) the cover looked SO familiar and it’s not exactly the same stock photo but it did remind me of this book by claire lazebnik that is like a jane austen retelling i think? Idk I’ve read it in like 2012 or something and it’s pretty much a somehow professionally published wattpad story itself lmao

You're doing the lords work trying to fix a garbage movie, I dare you to try and fix Dark Phoenix using only what's left in the final product. Oh God, I've tried. I've also tried to mash the first 6 Nightmare movies into a coherent Trilogy but I think I get bored about 10% in

what's sad is that they somehow made her hair look worse in the first movie when it's not even a wig 😭
It’s so weird seeing all these wattpad stories/fanfics become movies. There’s such a huge dissonance to me. Not to be mean to all the writers out there but my standards are much much lower when I know the story is on wattpad. You read wattpad for your cheesy tropes and cliche lines and eat that shit tf up 😭 plus readers can sorta ignore writers words when they want to. If the characters are wearing ugly outfits you can just ignore that and use your imagination but that’s harder when it comes to movies and you’re actually being physically forced to watch the running back home and the bad hair. Anyways I’m just rambling now, loved the video ❤
They also make ell kinda a shitty person which is weird cuz that was Noah in the first movie and know he is pretty much a good person

I don't agree with cutting out the gay subplot entirely. I would say keep them in and give them something more to do by having them be involved in the overall plot in a way that makes sense and is written well. Eliminating gay characters from any movie shouldn't be an option when we should all know by now that representation is important.
I love how terrible the Kissing Booth films are. When doods crit films like this I be embarrassed for them. Shit ain't supposed to be The Godfather or even Terms of Endearment.
I remember writing bad (fan) fiction as a teen and being completely confused when at some point in my self-insert love "triangle" fic I actually didn't want my main character to be with the love interest anymore, because I had written a better love interest for the "triangle". I feel like that's what growing up is like. Realizing that the stereotypical male character you liked when you were 14 isn't interesting to you anymore ... 😂🥲

I love hearing about people's early experiences with fanfic it's so fun and nostalgic! idk if you watch Jenny Nicholson but this reminds me of the fanfic she read in one of her videos, 'Trapped in a island with Josh Hutcherson', in which halfway through the story the author villainizes and abandons her own self-insert protagonist in favor of another, NEW self-insert protagonist

@@jane-mulcahy Oh yes! I saw that video. I can totally see myself at 14 feeling super mature about distancing myself from my very immature self-insert by writing another (immature) self-insert that kicks the first self-insert's butt. 🤣 Jenny Nicholson is great!
