The Kissing Booth 2 (2020)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Sequel to the 2018 Netflix hit 'The Kissing Booth 2' is a teen romantic comedy that adults who are fans of the genre will also enjoy. If you liked the first movie, you'll definitely love the sequel even more - especially for its improvement in normalizing sexist behavior, which was the main criticism when 'The Kissing Booth' was released. The story is much more about the importance of friendship than it is about romantic relationships. And for those who grew up watching John Hughes classics, Molly Ringwald makes a cameo, just like she did in the first movie.

The Kissing Booth
Adaptation of the young adult bestseller by Beth Reekles, 'Kissing Booth', this Netflix movie is a cute teen comedy, even though it's full of cliches. The feature still stars 80's teen star, Molly Ringwald, the eternal 'Pretty in Pink'. Recommended for anyone looking for an endearing and entertaining teen movie - a subgenre that is gaining new life on Netflix.
The Kissing Booth 3
The adaptation of the book 'A Barraca do Beijo', released in 2018, was a huge success on Netflix and became a trilogy - in the literary universe there are 4 volumes. The last feature arrives to close Elle's journey, which started as an innocent teenager and became a woman throughout the three films. The third production will please the fans and the haters will continue to turn up their noses at the franchise - which, whether they like it or not, has conquered many people. 'The Kissing Booth 3' presents the same problems as the others, there are too many problems to be solved in less than two hours and this ends up leading to a lazy script, but that ends up fulfilling the function of a light story to kill time. The positive point is that, once again, it is difficult to leave the movie as soon as you start it. There is a good conclusion to the story and, certainly, it opens up space for a continuation, but following the books, Elle's journey has indeed come to an end. It is important to mention that this last feature adapts the last two books, so there were three and not four film productions.
Romance

Tonight You're Sleeping with Me
This is a Polish romantic drama exclusive to Netflix that with touches of eroticism addresses themes such as the deterioration of marriage and infidelity. The plot of Tonight You're Sleeping with Me follows a journalist trapped in a marriage that has lost its passion with a distant but affectionate husband. On the other hand, there is a younger ex-boyfriend who returns to her life and awakens in her the desire she thought was lost. There are no too surprising twists or too scandalous images: if you want something romantic but predictable, this is a good option.
Love at First Kiss
Impossible relationships and love triangles are basic ingredients of romantic comedies, as are those clichés that "a kiss can tell you everything about a person." Love at First Kiss (Eres tú) is a Spanish production that takes this last idea to a curious extreme: Javier (Álvaro Cervantes) has the power of clairvoyance, since with a kiss he can see the entire future of a relationship. This has led him to end all of his relationships quickly, but everything changes when he kisses Lucía (Silvia Alonso), with whom he sees a happy future... But the problem is that she is his best friend's (Gorka Otxoa) girlfriend. The entanglements and dramas follow a predictable course for any fan of the romantic comedy genre, but those who seek that repetition of the formula to spend a quiet and entertaining time, will enjoy it.
A Sunday Affair
Two best friends, Uche and Toyin, fall in love with Sunday, a charming, yet flawed eligible bachelor. A love triangle ensues with the women unaware that they are dating the same man.
