“The Kissing Booth 2” (*** out of four) was a bouncy sequel to the 2018 hit about the further adventures of Elle (Joey King) who is now a high-school senior and juggling a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend (Jacob Elordi), applying for college, and having a relationship with a classmate (Taylor Zakhar Perez) that threatens to possibly alter everything for her. Very engaging comedy mixes in ingredients of teenage adolescence, confusion, and love with frothy results. Too long and protracted at over two hours but kept on track by King’s very likeable and entertaining performance. One-time adolescent teen star Molly Ringwald plays her boyfriend’s mom.
