  Opening Night 1977

  ★★★ Watched by Louis 26 Jan 2022

  It's also a competently made documentary. Using just the audio from…

  The Kissing Booth 2 is literally the same as its prequel, except for some unholy reason they decided to make it 30 minutes longer.

  At least it looks like they had fun making it.
