I hate when movies keep the cliche of a girl choosing her problematic boyfriend over a boy who is respectable and an all-around a great guy
Same
Plus, Marco is way more attractive than Noah imo
that’s what happened in atbilb
I hate it too. But in a way it's realistic (though I don't think these kind of movies think that far), when you're in love, you see that person with rose-coloured glasses, and even if they're filth, you can't help falling in love
And honestly in this case Elle was problematic
the most frustrating thing about this movie is that she tried to pull the “i’m poor” card when she literally goes to a private school and lives in a mansion in LA like ?????
also didn't her mom die of cancer???? Or some unnamed illness that caused her to die in a hospital- and they NEVER mention needing to pay off medical bills? and her dad even says that they have a college fund set aside for both her AND her brother! and (fun fact from easy googling) if she was ACTUALLY poor, Harvard actually recently set up a program where low income families (making less than 65k annually) pay ZERO fees for tuition, boarding, books, ect.
Phoebe Olderman what the fawk.. is 65k a year poor in the us??? What omg I live in eastern Europe and 50k is considered well off here, poor people here earn 1000 a month...like Chile tf
@@bibobiii the cost of living in most of the US is insane... a couple without kids bringing in 65k annually ain't bad, but if you have kids that you're trying to send to college, especially a college like Harvard (where tuition is roughly 50k), 65k probably wouldn't cut it :/
Jess Harkness that does make sense, in Europe colleges are most;y free and if not they’re under 10k, it’s just astounding to me how big the difference is. Like my dad makes 60-70k a year and I go to a private school, have a lot of apple products and he drives a luxury car, we live in a pretty big house with a pretty big garden, and we’re considered high middle class, so it’s so surprising to me to hear that the amount my dad makes would be considered poor in the us.
bindi Jesus am I glad to live in Europe, I visited la and Hawaii last year and Jesus was it fun, it was amazing all so different n shit but god does the us have problems. I think the main point is, my dad who is a ceo of a fairy successful country would still be higher middle class if he worked in the us, since there you earn WAYYYY more, it just comes down to the expenses of living, the more you earn, the more expensive it is to live there
Lee is literally the worst friend and boyfriend ever. He also acts like he's in love with her. 😴
RedRoseSeptember22 exactly, he is just as abusive as Noah, except he is psychologically abusive.
Maddie Y’all use the term, “abusive” too loosely. There’s a difference between “abusive” and “controlling”. Lee never preyed upon Elle or took advantage of her. He learned from his mistakes and started to be more supportive of her decisions. So did Noah.
@@sophiaarias9341 Being controlling in a relationship is abusive....
True, both Noah and Lee are extremely controlling and possessive of Elle, but the movie has the audacity to treat it as cute and endearing?! 🤦🏻♀️🙄
Honestly both lee and elle are bad ppl and bad friends. Like it was so ignorant of elle to just not realise how much rachel hated hanging out with Lee when she was there especially that same dynamic happens when elle hangs out with noah and chloe. She just clearly doesn't have any consequences for her actions. But nonetheless, both of them are bad ppl including lee. He's such a bad boyfriend.
“show me two cap erasers and i’ll be like ‘aww they’re in love’”
*i’m in this photo and i don’t like it*
Awww they're in love
Same
Shit I can relate
Black and poc have been begging Netflix for more diverse, black/poc leading movies but they gave us........ the kissing booth 1, 2, *and* 3
😔
Why can’t we have good things smh😔
and they cancelled shows with representation
well they had lgbt+ representation so i guess that's netflix's version of a step in the right direction!!! a two-second kiss scene between two guys that had NOTHING to do with the central plot was SO EMPOWERING ::))))))
they also had not one but TWO secondary characters who were poc but traditionally attractive in eurocentric views ::::)))))
Someday...😌
I just realized Julia called Elle "Romana" the whole time
Ramona* but yeah, it’s a Ramona and Beezus reference in case you don’t know what that is
@@michaela2368 i thought it was a scott pilgrim vs. the world reference and had no idea why
michael murphy i was thinking of santa clarita diet lol
f i thought that too which is funny to me since ramona and beezus is referenced in the comics
ngl I just thought her name was Ramona lmao
Our queen is back. WE HAVE BEEN FED!
Yess when I saw she posted this topic I was like ahhhh 😄😄!
Yes, I was delighted when I got the notification, Julia's back with a bang! 🔔😂🎊
Yessss!
im always so confused why lee was so hurt by his bff dating someone. talk about clingy
to be fair, she was dating his abusive brother
@@save_bandit yeah but he wasn't even upset about the fact that she's dating a controlling, abusive player. He was just upset because she technically wasn't his anymore. I mean, Lee treats Elle like his property and throws a hissy fit whenever somebody touches it
Ok but she should totally do dear dumb diary
I forgot in the first one Lee thought his bro hit his friend, which means lee has concerns his brother is physically abusive ☹️
Yikes, I never thought about that! (Though tbh I never really thought about the story at all).
Cthonis Princess yeah I forgot the plot of both of them as soon as they ended
i always thought that would've been a way better reason for lee to be mad at noah and ramona. he obviously didn't trust his brother since his first instinct was to think he hit her, so idk why the writers didn't just use that as a reason to make him disapprove of the couple and not some bullshit rules
MMarcia C Probably cuz it’s supposed to be a cute romance story even tho the author clearly failed to do so since everyone (especially the two brothers) is so toxic and makes you uncomfortable the whole time.
@@rose-nn3wj that's true, i guess it would be hard to keep up the "cute, overprotective, jealous" boyfriend guise if the characters openly recognized the inherently abusive nature of ramona and noah's relationship
i know her name isn't actually ramona i just don't care enough to figure out her real name lmao
I will never get over how she wasn’t even considering going to Harvard until Noah.
She got into Harvard ON A WHIM!
“Look they’re gay, applaud us”
Okay but asking a question in the title and then answering it also in the title is such a power move, I can’t even explain
okay THANK YOU for mentioning the accidentally sexy trope in teen romance like...it's very ew. the concept that choosing to be sexy, TRYING to seduce someone & like... enthusiastically consenting to their attention being less appealing to male characters than woopsie i'm stripping cause i'm dumb :3 hope no one sees this. it's creepy!
You posting this is basically like the scene in Mean Girls where Cady gives her crown to everyone
We are all winners
This comment was super cute ❤
I still can't believe they expect people to side with someone who cheats on her boyfriend in front of thousands of people
THIS. i feel like everyone is only mad at lee and noah (totally understandably lol) but damn, elle is just as bad. she only gets upset when things don’t work out for HER and not other people..? like, she was so upset how close noah was with chloe, BUT SHE TURNS AROUND AND IS WAY TOOOO CLOSE WITH MARCO. soo hypocritical. every single character in this series is so problematic and the worst part: it’s ALL romanticized to the max 🙄
Kylie Vanhove i hated everyone single goddamn character in this movie, they weren’t quirky and relatable they were just hypocritical and made things way to complicated
@@sophiaprocter1628 this movie can be summarized as "terrible people being terrible to each other"
🌺 Hold my Wodka 🌺 yeah ❤️
also before Elle even *thought* Noah was cheating she was drooling over Marco. (which the whole school heard)
I’m so confused how Elle got in to Harvard. Another thing that bothered me is national decision day is May 1, and graduation is usually in the end of May or June, but somehow Elle hadn’t picked a college before she graduated.
I've just realized that Elle and Lee look like brother and sister.
I can’t believe the movie even got a sequel. I lost a little faith in humanity the day I found out.
Sorry to break it to you, but a third one is coming
@@robobowie68 I... did not need to know that. Thanks for ruining my happiness in knowing it'd only be a trashy doulogy
Beep boop Really? That sucks.
It has more than one book so yes of course they’re gonna do all the books
Joey: My name is Joey. And I play a character called Elle in the TKB.
Julia: Ramona!
OH MY GOD YES. I saw this with my friend and we could barely get through it. My friend is usually so calm, but she was absolutely PISSED throughout this entire movie. The Kissing Booth 2 was utter garbage. AND THEY'RE COMING OUT WITH A THIRD ONE.
How many kissing booths can they run?!
That’s going to be awkward for the two leads. They dated and broke up and purportedly hate each other now.
I have a very calm boyfriend and he was so angry at the first one and I told them they were still together in the second one and he refused to watch it.
I keep on telling myself that the first one was worse because the writing and the suuuuppeeer cringey comedy, plus how it was so badly directed and the visuals..... you get what I mean. But the second movie is (I think) maybe a little more toxic (idk, at least Noah isn’t perceived abusive in this one...), and it was so loooonnnngggg.
Edit: plus the gay side plot made me kind of super annoyed 😅. Like these characters who don’t matter whatsoever are randomly thrown in for “diversity”.
I really thought they were going to rip off Bridget Jones 2 and make the hot model girl a lesbian.
What am I doing Also if they hadn’t put so much emphasis on the two guys I would’ve thought it was pretty normal for like half of their screen time. Like helping a guy up on your team after he’s been hit in the head and on the ground for a couple seconds is something anyone would do. It’s not a sign of being attracted to someone it just means you’re a decent person.
“They have a A plot, B plot, C plot, D plot”- that al- E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z” 😲😂🤣😭 IM CRYING
those two cap erasers got a better storyline than this movie
Something that bothers me in these movies, is how they make it seem like any idiot can get into Harvard. For example, in the first movie, Noah gets into Harvard. We never see him do anything but get into fights and make out with girls. Yes, he could've gotten a football scholarship, but he would constantly get into fights, which would most likely go into his permanent record, and Harvard would not like that. In the second movie, Elle gets accepted into both Berkley and Harvard. Similar to Noah, she doesn't do anything that would conisdered "Harvard material". Instead, she wastes her time on two boys. Her essay was extremley mediocre. (rAcHeLs KiNdNeSs). She doesn't even stop to think about her future. She just wants to go to school because of a boy. I know that I am taking these Teen Rom-Coms too seriously, but it would be nice if in these movies if the girl actually ends up with nobody. Instead, she decided to focus on herself and her future. :) Not every girls' life has to revolve around a guy.
I still don’t get how Elle does nothing but gets into both colleges...
I'll always find it funny that they act like they're the best friends ever and never tell each other anything, like...
can someone who read the books tell me if Lee ever says he had a crush on Elle bc this is the behavior of unrequited love I mean he barely hangs out w his "girlfriend" the whole 2nd movie
It really is a garbage movie tho
ok but can someone talk about how the plots of all three movies are/gonna be the EXACT SAME!!! elle and lee have rules, elle breaks the rule, elle doesn’t tell lee, lee finds out and gets mad, elle and lee make up, everyone happy.
She's The Man is literally based on a Shakespeare play so if anything i'd call IT a "modern fairytale"
You called her Ramona 😂💀
That movie was my childhood I'm a little disappointed :(
@@dreamybombstudios724 I watched that movie too many times 😂
@@chocolatechips. right? I watched it sooooooo much
is no one dying at the replacement words over the curse words cause I was XD
begging netflix to put julia in charge of editing kissing booth 3 because the way the recap of lee finding out about noah and elle's relationship had me WHEEZING
Same! I laughed so loud at that!
as someone else who read the books, i’m gonna give my own little opinion on this-
i think that the movie is a horrible adaptation of the book. i feel like the movie took all the characters (as bad as they were already) and made them into even bigger, harder to like stereotypes. my biggest problem is what they did with Lee. in the book, he didn’t even really truly mind that elle and noah were dating and more that she wouldn’t tell him in the first place. and he even got over that quickly. i think adding the “rules” and making him to uptight about it in the movie killed the entire concept of the original story and made his character completely unlikable when he was actually the only one i liked in the books.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
WAS LITERALLY ABOUT THE COMMENT THE EXACT SAME THING
TURN IT UP
@@magnetsonfridges HOLY SHIT SAME
Lee is the worst character of these movies
the kissing booth 2 i would say is a trash movie but i only watch it for marco and that’s it
Can we give this movie back and get another Edge of Seventeen-like movie?
All those versions of Pride and Prejudice... a queen with TASTE 💜
The second movie definitely tells me that Lee and Elle should be together cause their both Toxic!😑😑😑
17:47 Well, I think I have an explanation for that. See the author is from Wales. In the UK, from what I understand, pretty much all schools have uniforms like that. Whereas in North America, it's the opposite where only fancy high end boarding schools wear them and most regular schools allow you to wear your street clothes with dress codes in place. When you look at it like that, it makes sense why the protagonist wants to get money for college if you think her as a British instead of American like how she's supposed to be. If she was British, the explaintion would be that she's middle class and needs the money. Whereas if she's American, it just comes off as nonsensical. Well, guess the author didn't do proper research into how schools in the US work, and just slapped in her understanding as is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The iconic background music 🥰
Ok but why is Lee so hot now? My gay brain says I should like Noah or the other one but my bisexual brain says “muscular band kid” it’s confusing.
You should review a horror movie for the upcoming Halloween season
This _is_ a horror movie
TheWraith Writer do not ever disrespect horror like that
"If you want to see Lee's arc done well, watch The Edge of Seventeen." Okay, Julia, I knew you are a woman of culture, but now I know you're a queen.
I love how Julia refers to Elle as Romona from Ramona and beezus🤣
Elle: Please don't leave like this, Lee
Lee: *Leaves anyway*
Julia, have you ever seen Skins? The British version, not the US remake. Its a tad different from what you usually cover but still a teen drama. You may actually enjoy it, it is very well done and one of my fav tv shows. Just different. And British.
I love how she's Romona throughout the whole video
i can't believe you didn't mention that the actor playing Marco looks EXACTLY like the guy who plays Noah. They literally have the same face.
Love The Lizzie Bennet Diaries shoutout
and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! what a fun movie
What the movie teaches: Getting into harvard is easy
i've seen both movies and yet when you said 'ramona' it occurred to me that i never even knew her name.
AAAAA JULIA IVE MISSED YOU!!!! i’ve been rewatching your older videos like podcasts lmao your video essays are such a breath of fresh air. super happy to see you come back and get ur take on this one hoooo man
Tbh The Kissing Booth should've just never had a sequel. I'm gonna just talk about the characters rn:
Elle: She is your cliche girl bestie who catches feelings for her guy best friend's brother and tbh it feels like they tried to make her relatable but in reality they just made her cringey.
Lee: I would've liked Lee if he didn't ignore his girlfriend all because of Elle, I get that they're best friends but your S/O should be your priority. Also didn't like him when he basically restricted Elle from being with his brother.
Noah: Every. Wattpad. Story. Bad boy. Tbh he was bland
Omg Ive miss these videos so much! So glad you’re back!
2:19. That 10 things I hate about you reference you squeezed in there, nice! 😎

Same I’m dreading it😭 have a great school year. Good luck!
I’m so glad you’re back! See you next year lol
I will never get over the fact that this movie is 2 HOURS LONG and it would last 30 min mix if people just weren't dumb and talked openly and directly to each other.
This didn’t show up in my subscription box. Great video, and I’m upset I didn’t see it when it came out
Yay! I missed you!
The night I saw the movie I thought..
I can't wait for Julia to do this..
The motorcycle cliche makes ne so mad like jeeez everytime it's called a "death trap"
welcome back queen
“not even a little bit, not even at all”
10 thing i hate about you reference??????
Julia's back with the quality content
I was literally searching your channel yesterday looking for a video
I start school tomorrow and this is exactly what I needed
Honestly loving the 10 things I hate about you reference at the start
Also apparently there’s gonna be a third one yay... and I believe that lee will end up confessing to Elle or they go out or smth
I saw the trailer of this monstrosity on Netflix 🤣. I've been waiting for this.
