Joel Courtney (JC): This was one of those times where you get to come back and be the character but you also just get to come back and hang out with your best friends for three and a half, four months.

JK: When we get in a room together, oh my gosh, it’s just nonstop laughter. How much closer have you guys gotten and how much fun do you have together while filming? One of the best things about the movie is Elle and Lee’s friendship. No one can be in a bad mood from watching this. This movie is kind of tipping our hat off to those wonderful ’80s romcoms and we have the lovely Molly Ringwald to prove it. Joey King (JK): I think people crave those classic ’80s romcoms that we just weren’t getting anymore.

What do you think it is about this franchise that makes it so popular? While they couldn’t tell us much about part 3 yet, we had a blast talking to Joey, Joel and “The Kissing Booth 2” newcomers Taylor Zakhar Perez and Maisie Richardson-Sellers who play Marco and Chloe about “The Kissing Booth 2.” Ghostbusting buddies Lee and Elle
