The Kissing Booth 2 is rated TV-14. But this Netflix movie\\u2019s teen characters act more like they\\u2019re 28. Physical intimacy is a given. Consequences of that activity are nowhere in sight. And while we don\\u2019t actually see a lot of it, there\\u2019s no question what\\u2019s happening here between Elle and Noah, as well as other characters (including some same gender pairings). Profanity, underage drinking and completely clueless parents add to this movie\\u2019s many concerns, especially since it\\u2019s definitely targeting a young teen audience. For those reasons, we\\u2019re giving The Kissing Booth 2 a 1 out of 5 for family friendliness.
