Joey King returns to star in a sequel to the high school romcom -and “ The Kissing Booth 2” is better than its predecessor, but that’s hardly a big ask. While Vince Marcello’s 2018 adaptation of Beth Reekles’ YA novel “The Kissing Booth” scored big in terms of viewership, critical appraisals were not so kind with a 17 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is one of Netflix’s worst-reviewed originals.Ĭritics aside, the streamer gave the people what they want. The streaming giant won acclaim for series like “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” and one-offs like “Set It Up,” but its romcom picks are just as prone to flaming out as setting the world on fire. Netflix’s continued forays into the wide world of romantic comedies - wildly popular with film fans, often overlooked by the studio system - has seen plenty of ups and downs.
