For reals…. Had Hallmark picked up on this decade’s ago we wouldn’t be swooning over something so happy and bubbly for us. It’s so natural for straights to take advantage of these cookie cutter stories that they literally have 200+ cheesy romcoms and holiday films come out every year when we just barely started in the queer community. They (the straights) literally have been spoon fed and been catered to for decades.
this movie has cringey moments. rushed storylines. not well done green screens. cut scenes and entire characters from the book. and I LOVE IT RAHHHHHH!!!! IVE WATCHED IT 8 TIMES IM SO GLAD YALL ARE REACTING TO ITTTTT
@@juliasvyrydova7222 thank you. I thought i was the only one who had thoughts like this. shouldn't the focus be on the main characters and not all the stuff around them? sure, the other things are important too, relevant to the storyline in some way, but shouldn't we be happy to have moments of alex and henry than of other things?
The way you described me reacting to this movie. Like it isn’t the best movie in the world and there are criticisms to be made about the production but I still loved it and I’m obsessed
i loved the book and when i saw the casting, i was not ready for The Kissing Booth 2 Marco Peña and Camila Cabello's Cinderella Prince Robert to be gay lovers but honestly this is my favorite unhinged celebrity crossover ever

i think he was amazing too! his and sarah shahi's acting is the only acting i enjoyed actually, i don't know if it's the fault of the script but there were actually quite a few moments where i didnt appreciate uma thurman's and taylor's acting at all:S
Thank you for your support. The one thing you might be missing is how impactful this somewhat cheesy Hallmark-ish romcom is to those of us who for decades have had to work to mentally transpose the gender of the heroine to hero of all these boy-meets-girl, boy-loves-girl, boy-gets-girl stories from Jane Austin and on in order, to appreciate the story the fullest. I remember the days of the awful stereotypical Boys In The Band was such extraordinary a landmark in even being allowed in theaters, the many times the lonely gay man was the homicidal killer, or who died by his own hand, the times a same-sex love story always ended on a tragic note to appeal to the intended straight audience. I'm 73 yo and this is the first time (except for the low-budget - and excellent - Latter Day Saints movie) that I have felt directly about the story in this way. I haven't seen the actual movie yet but I've been binge-watching EVERY reaction video I can find, and crying happy tears at so many of the key moments that now I have seared in my brain. It is so good to have allies who are comfortable about being open about their support. Thanks again.
This, exactly. Straight people have been getting these kinds of movies all their lives but the queer community always gets the tragic ending, the thought-provoking commentaries, as if we owe people profound stories instead of just having light-hearted and happy movies from time to time. It wasn't the best movie or anything like that, and I enjoyed reading the book far more, but there's something about two queer people just simply being happy with each other and falling in love and becoming comfortable in their existence, and it is something that needs to be celebrated. The novel was extremely heartfelt and honestly well-written, and even though it was not exactly the same, the movie did a good job of capturing the book's essence. I am a lesbian and from a new generation, sir, but we still feel the same sentiments as you do even in this time and age, and we're just happy something like RWRB exists.

Also the book is def a little different. The political story is a lot more complicated. Like miguel’s character doesn’t exist in the book, the person who leaked the emails was the mom’s political competition a Republican named Richard. Who had a story of sexual assault and harassment too (this was pretty much the author trying to re-write the 2016 competition to cope for Trump winning actually lol). Emails leaked and you could also see in the book the public scrutiny a lot more because it was not all support. And there was leaked info about like Henry’s sister and her addiction, and Alex’s complicated relationship with his parents (who in the book are divorced. And love him, but can be a bit neglectful due to their work). Book is better but would also be a lot longer, amazon studios apparently told the crew of the film they had to cut everything out and just focus on the relationship, which made them change some stuff in order to not focus on other characters as much.
@@mjustjeanette7026 the director already said the 3 hour cut were fake rumors actually!! But there WERE several scenes cut. Like the book epilogue about their home in nyc and thanksgiving with their families was filmed. The paris sex scenes apparently was also longer and had more sexual positions lmao. And there’s a breakfast scene of them together. Also Bea at the polo game talking with Alex. These are confirmed by either earlier tests screenings where people got to see the scenes to confirm them, or a couple stills that were used for promo of scenes that didn’t make the cut.
@valentinafangirling6886 hopefully the cries for a 3 hour cut are heard, then. Time for the boys to get more screen time rather than just Marvel movie.
@@layton6202 i imagine the author probably already had a wish/idea to make a queer romance and the 2016 election inspired them for world building an already existing idea. That said the movie is not as similar, but in the book Richards (Republican competition) is the one who leaks the emails. So as in 2016 there are leaked emails, and Richards (like Trump) had sexual assault accusations of several people. Unlike trump tho, he did lose and was being properly investigated for the SA.
I don't think he's hallucinating Henry there during the text messages; I think it's just representational and less of a boring way to show text messages.
They should watch all the corny gay romcoms. Love Simon, Alex Strangelove (remember that one? it was odd), Heartstopper, etc (I'm blanking on all the other ones...) Also I'd love to see them cry from Brokeback Mountain :') And there was an especially weird one called Henry Gamble's Birthday Party
@@lovegold3225 I don't remember too much, but even as a freshman in high school who ate up all bad lgbt media, I found it kinda cringe lol I don't want to rewatch it myself so I hope they'll do it for me 😅
I liked Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party tbh… I thought it was pretty interesting. Another indie I really liked is As You Are, even though it has some overused LGBTQ tropes.
this movie was surprisingly cute and sickeningly sweet but i loved it. i’m a straight woman but i will def watch it again because it’s just a cute love story innit
@@layton6202nah this comment will age well because trump is even gonna get arrested. So his presidency is gonna be perceived as a wacky period in history in the future.
Fun fact: the king is played by famous and beloved British actor and comedian Stephen Fry. He's also gay. So it's surprising and fun seeing him play the king.

The storyline isn't confusing. It was the editing out so much that left gaps. Plus they were so giggly and uncomfortable they couldn't really take it in and just let it be a romantic comedy.
In the alternate universe of this film, Uma Thurman was elected as president instead of Trump in 2016 - sort of an alternate Hillary. When the book was written, the Queen was still alive, so the alternate royal family had Henry one of the sons of the Queen's daughters and a pop-icon father who had played James Bond in some movies, but had since died, instead of the Queen's son and pop-icon Princess Di. By the time of the filming, the Queen had died, so they switched it to have a king instead, old like Prince Charles. The movie doesn't have time to dwell on their royal family, but having Henry drive up in the sports car was a nod to a James Bond connection.
@@snowchips9596 2 dudes had a really awkward kiss and they screamed (at the awkwardness), Jo saying after "Wait it wasnt because they're two men. people are gonna take that out of context"
As a lesbian I love watching *respectful* straight dudes react to gay/queer storylines, it’s kinda sweet. Edit: I will say tho, some comments were unnecessary. (Like the gay porn jokes and position jokes) I did overall enjoy the video tho and I understand they probably didn’t mean for it to come off that way. I don’t think they meant it in a way to mock gay men being intimate but as a note for the future, it can come off that way. Love your videos though and I highly doubt you meant it as a mockery. Just my two cents.
@@resathe6760I'm a straight female and trust me this is respectful 😂 .it could have been worse. She's knows wat she meant. Most straight males aren't decent human beings 😅
"when you know a lot about gay, then you got a lot of gayda." hahahahahahah I had a great cackle guys, appreciate the commentary from a straight perspective.
I’ve been curious about what it would be like to watch this without knowing ANYTHING about the book- there is so much fanservice that I’m sure a lot of it would be perplexing. Thank you for your service boys
the nurse comment at 10:21 is so real 😭😭 i always find myself looking at peoples arms in public being like “damn I could put an iv in that so easily” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Congrats on moving!! I haven’t read the book but the cast did a beautiful job in the film! Taylor and Nicholas had great chemistry throughout the entire thing 💙💙💙
I keep seeing people say that but I thought their chemistry was average and felt like Taylor's acting in particular was pretty bad. But I'd definitely recommend the book, especially if you liked the movie, the book is even better!
@@netizenrealness I saw very few negative comments. Straight men feeling awkward about watching this movie is to be expected, but I didn’t see any comments that were derogatory. The comment section is pretty tame, considering.
This was great 😂 as a gay man I found this funny. I'm using Gayta in my vocabulary 😂😂 can't wait for your next video. Hope your both doing great, have a good day.
Omg aaron and jo watching rwrb? Wow I love this movie!!! I have watched it 4 times in 1 day and I cannot stop. The book and the movie are great. The chemistry between Nick and Taylor is off the charts!!! I laughed, I cried. Everytime I watch it I see more details and nuances that I missed. The love making scene was perfection!!! Never seen anything like that before. ❤️ I have now seen it 11 times! It just gets better and better!!! ❤❤❤
the fact that they would like make out a little bit and aaron would be like 'yo we watching gay p0rn' is such a hetero dude thing to say and its so funny to me
@fuckinggrass8116 I think their initial comments were less saying it's gay porn and more saying they feel like they are watching the start to a gay porno, and I feel like part of that feeling is probably a lack of experience watching gay films and the like so they are drawing back on what they know. Also wasn't there a scene that was explicit enough that they couldn't show it on youtube? I understand what you mean about the hypersexuality, I guess I just feel like, is their reaction really that bad for two straight guys who aren't used to it? I also think that is probably is more uncomfortable at first to be watching steamy gay things with another man, but I think this is really the fault of the pressures of society on men to not be gay, and I find it hard to fault them for that. I don't think they are intentionally trying to be offensive in any way.
@fuckinggrass8116 Fair enough. It doesn't hurt to be critical of these things and the language we use and how that language is shaped by subconscious biases and can be harmful even on smaller scales.
@valenz1234 straight men usually don't go out of their way to watch lgbtq movies and shows, so I can see intimate scenes being a little awkward for them both. I dont think they meant any harm with their comments on sex scenes, I just think it might have been awkward if theyre not someone who consumes lgbtq media so they resorted to bro jokes. People forget that gay marriage became legal only in 2015. And, lot of lgbtq movies and shows became mainstream within the past few years. Maybe in the next 10 years there will be straight men who've consumed lgbtq media that will be better educated and familiarized.
i love rewatching this video, you point out all the awkward line-reads and shots that i kept noticing. WHY IS THE MUSEUM SCENE SO DAMN WEIRD LOOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's so awkward XD
I wish yall would do a little more discussion and review after each movie you watch!!!!! Im so curious of what you guys think of the stuff you watch, even if its kinda silly
I know this was from a year ago but out of all the reactions I've seen for this movie this one had me dying laughing the whole time. I can't remember the last time I physically laughed outloud instead of just chuckling. The fireworks bit was my favorite. You guys are great
i was watching twilight and when edward starting singing in the background made me remember aaron and jo's videos and now im SPIRALING DOWN THE AARON AND JO RABBIT HOLE AND IM CRYING OF LAUGHTER!
nicholas galitzine was in an incredible movie called handsome devil; the film that focuses on a friendship between two queer men rather than a love story. If you wanna see some amazing performances that is one, andrew scott is in it too which is a huge plus!
i loved this movie a lot and i'm so glad to see your guys reaction! this is def one of your best videos. i laughed SO much . i seriously look forward to new videos every week and you all never disappoint. keep up the good work guys
It is Matthew Lopez his first movie, he is from theaters. It is a rom com and turns into a love story. And I love it, we get so many straight rom coms, so this is great for me. Love it! ❤❤
at the 11 minute mark when you're talking about whether or not they switched, just a note that topping & dominant are not mutually exclusive! top & bottom is just positioning, while dominant/submissive is used as kink language referring to who is dominant & submissive in that scene. there are dominant bottoms & submissive tops as well. just a note for when referring to queer sex going forward in case you weren't aware!
Should I be reading through my school's syllabus and preparing for school tomorrow? Yes, but I instead will watch Aaron and Jo react to this amazing gay firework movie🤩
It's toxic muscularity. Straight men are raised to believe that any show of emotion is sign of weakness so they use humour as defense mechanism. It's pathetic.

When the book was written, the Queen was still alive, so the alternate royal family had Henry one of the sons of the Queen's daughters and a pop-icon father who had played James Bond in some movies, but had since died, instead of the Queen's son and pop-icon Princess Di. By the time of the filming, the Queen had died, so they switched it to have a king instead, old like Prince Charles. The movie doesn't have time to dwell on their royal family, but having Henry drive up in the sports car was a nod to a James Bond connection.
yeah she’s a democrat
That's not actually true. They switched to a King to distance the story from reality AND THEN the Queen died, which fucked up that whole idea 😂
Weird having Hillary be her alternate president given her history and the other options she could of went for
"Was henry top two rounds? ...henrys just dominate the whole time." Our poor poor misunderstood power bottom
My toxic trait is that if I've seen one of your videos about a movie I've never seen before I tell people that I saw that movie.
8:47 "prince Henry does not look FUCKED! UP! 🤓☝️"
Im gonna assume you ONLY made this video to clear up the homophobe allegations from the last video 😭
we went from GAY TAX to GAY RIGHTS
Wait what did they say in the last video 💀
@@snowchips9596 2 dudes had a really awkward kiss and they screamed (at the awkwardness), Jo saying after "Wait it wasnt because they're two men. people are gonna take that out of context"
@@Dizzybevvie as a gay person that was my favorite part of the video
@@perthotheemptycup6754 sameee
We love that Aaron and Jo are celebrating pride month in August
Just the way Austin, TX likes it!!
What’s insane about the movie is the number of green screen sets. Once you see you can’t unsee
Only Aaron would call a Turkey an Ostrich 😂
This movie was surprisingly funny or maybe I have a shit taste of humor lol
It really was lol, I enjoyed it
it was don't worry lol
Yes it was! So was the book
Nah this movie sucked dick
this is one of ur guy’s funniest videos fr. there’s a lot to poke fun at in this movie but it genuinely makes for a good and cute romcom
As a lesbian I love watching *respectful* straight dudes react to gay/queer storylines, it’s kinda sweet.
Edit: I will say tho, some comments were unnecessary. (Like the gay porn jokes and position jokes) I did overall enjoy the video tho and I understand they probably didn’t mean for it to come off that way. I don’t think they meant it in a way to mock gay men being intimate but as a note for the future, it can come off that way. Love your videos though and I highly doubt you meant it as a mockery. Just my two cents.
Agreeddd
you found that respectful?
@@resathe6760I'm a straight female and trust me this is respectful 😂 .it could have been worse. She's knows wat she meant. Most straight males aren't decent human beings 😅
I’m sorry but that’s not respectful at all
@@chaimakoko5862 then leave
"when you know a lot about gay, then you got a lot of gayda." hahahahahahah I had a great cackle guys, appreciate the commentary from a straight perspective.
I’ve been curious about what it would be like to watch this without knowing ANYTHING about the book- there is so much fanservice that I’m sure a lot of it would be perplexing. Thank you for your service boys
I didn’t know anything and I’ve seen this 4 times since it came out. Now that you said that I wish I read the book before 😭
3:30 i have been summoned
LOL
ERRRIIICCCC!!!
the nurse comment at 10:21 is so real 😭😭 i always find myself looking at peoples arms in public being like “damn I could put an iv in that so easily” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
omg i have been WAITING for you guys to make a video on this movie. i literally jumped as soon as I saw the notification
Congrats on moving!! I haven’t read the book but the cast did a beautiful job in the film! Taylor and Nicholas had great chemistry throughout the entire thing 💙💙💙
I keep seeing people say that but I thought their chemistry was average and felt like Taylor's acting in particular was pretty bad. But I'd definitely recommend the book, especially if you liked the movie, the book is even better!
The firework jokes that Jo kept making 😂 I was beside myself with laughter!
19:16 "fukin-him palace" lmaoooo 😭😭🤌
kinda shocked at the negative feedback in the comment section...aaron and jo are allies they're just goofy as fuck they don't mean any harm😂
I think you’re misinterpreting. Most commenters get what they’re doing.
@@Debbie338 i'm talking only about the negative comments though
@@netizenrealness I saw very few negative comments. Straight men feeling awkward about watching this movie is to be expected, but I didn’t see any comments that were derogatory. The comment section is pretty tame, considering.
whether they're being goofy or allies or just 'good old dudes' they are trying waay too hard to be funny.
@@haintedhouse2990 well i and thousands of other people find them hilarious...different strokes for different folks i guess lol
This was great 😂 as a gay man I found this funny. I'm using Gayta in my vocabulary 😂😂 can't wait for your next video. Hope your both doing great, have a good day.
Now THIS is equality! There is an endless amount of cheap bad romance movies for the straights. It's time for the gays to get theirs lol
Was this movie kinda bad?? Yes. Have I watched it like 8 times already?? Also yes. Is it because I love the book and these characters?? Probably.
Omg aaron and jo watching rwrb? Wow
I love this movie!!! I have watched it 4 times in 1 day and I cannot stop. The book and the movie are great. The chemistry between Nick and Taylor is off the charts!!! I laughed, I cried. Everytime I watch it I see more details and nuances that I missed. The love making scene was perfection!!! Never seen anything like that before. ❤️
I have now seen it 11 times! It just gets better and better!!! ❤❤❤
I liked the book but Taylor's acting just is not it. Nick acted circles around him, though.
@@lisasu7094i think they are great, together and individual. More a preference. That is oke.
What’s with women and loving gay novels?
The Secret Service and the gun got me every time
i watch this video at LEAST once a day and by the end i’m always laughing uncontrollably. BEST VIDEO ON YT 👏
the commentary was too good in this one glad y’all enjoyed the movie too
The way I’m obsessed with this movie
the fact that they would like make out a little bit and aaron would be like 'yo we watching gay p0rn' is such a hetero dude thing to say and its so funny to me
Funny? I find it sad. It's funny when you're 14, not when you're a grown adult with a mature brain
@fuckinggrass8116 tbf it's awkward watching any kissing scenes with a friend. but i imagine the more explicit scenes, even moreso
@fuckinggrass8116 I think their initial comments were less saying it's gay porn and more saying they feel like they are watching the start to a gay porno, and I feel like part of that feeling is probably a lack of experience watching gay films and the like so they are drawing back on what they know.
Also wasn't there a scene that was explicit enough that they couldn't show it on youtube?
I understand what you mean about the hypersexuality, I guess I just feel like, is their reaction really that bad for two straight guys who aren't used to it?
I also think that is probably is more uncomfortable at first to be watching steamy gay things with another man, but I think this is really the fault of the pressures of society on men to not be gay, and I find it hard to fault them for that. I don't think they are intentionally trying to be offensive in any way.
@fuckinggrass8116 Fair enough. It doesn't hurt to be critical of these things and the language we use and how that language is shaped by subconscious biases and can be harmful even on smaller scales.
@valenz1234 straight men usually don't go out of their way to watch lgbtq movies and shows, so I can see intimate scenes being a little awkward for them both. I dont think they meant any harm with their comments on sex scenes, I just think it might have been awkward if theyre not someone who consumes lgbtq media so they resorted to bro jokes. People forget that gay marriage became legal only in 2015. And, lot of lgbtq movies and shows became mainstream within the past few years. Maybe in the next 10 years there will be straight men who've consumed lgbtq media that will be better educated and familiarized.
“It’s meant to be when everybody drops it except you and ya boy” Poetic 🤌🏾
Your ability to misinterpret the simplest of scenes is honestly impressive lmao
This movie sucked ass
i love rewatching this video, you point out all the awkward line-reads and shots that i kept noticing. WHY IS THE MUSEUM SCENE SO DAMN WEIRD LOOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's so awkward XD
"I will no longer be the prince of shame and of secrets"
This is such a Wattpad line omg 😂
Yeah, but it’s fairly typical for any rom-com.
As a lesbian, I will now be using gayta instead of gaydar💀
"GAY MEN KISS GAY MEN KISS 🥳🥳🥳" YES JO
I wish yall would do a little more discussion and review after each movie you watch!!!!! Im so curious of what you guys think of the stuff you watch, even if its kinda silly
“Slayyyy, slayyyy, slay Mrs.president Slayma Thurman” 😂😂😂😂
I know this was from a year ago but out of all the reactions I've seen for this movie this one had me dying laughing the whole time. I can't remember the last time I physically laughed outloud instead of just chuckling. The fireworks bit was my favorite.
You guys are great
'fuckinghim palace' is CRAZY LMAOOO
“NOOOO NOT THE OSTRICH” Aaron come on that’s clearly a chicken 😤😤😂😂
Mate that's obviously an emu 🦤
I died when they cut to Bush in the childrens hospital scene 💀
i was watching twilight and when edward starting singing in the background made me remember aaron and jo's videos and now im SPIRALING DOWN THE AARON AND JO RABBIT HOLE AND IM CRYING OF LAUGHTER!
nicholas galitzine was in an incredible movie called handsome devil; the film that focuses on a friendship between two queer men rather than a love story. If you wanna see some amazing performances that is one, andrew scott is in it too which is a huge plus!
i loved this movie a lot and i'm so glad to see your guys reaction! this is def one of your best videos. i laughed SO much . i seriously look forward to new videos every week and you all never disappoint. keep up the good work guys
AARON, JO THIS IS INCREDIBLE CONTENT
It is Matthew Lopez his first movie, he is from theaters. It is a rom com and turns into a love story. And I love it, we get so many straight rom coms, so this is great for me. Love it! ❤❤
I always love the first minute of Aaron chatting before the video 😂
WE WON! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏆🏆🏆
will we ever know what happened to little aaron in that store
at the 11 minute mark when you're talking about whether or not they switched, just a note that topping & dominant are not mutually exclusive! top & bottom is just positioning, while dominant/submissive is used as kink language referring to who is dominant & submissive in that scene. there are dominant bottoms & submissive tops as well. just a note for when referring to queer sex going forward in case you weren't aware!
They're str8. They couldn't care less. What they said were just macho jokes about queer sex.pretending to be funny.
i rewatched this movie wayy too many times... and ima go rewatch it again 🤷🏾♀️
I read this book and lost my fucking mind when I saw they made it into a movie. now I’m losing my mind again seeing y’all watch it :D
I’m actually so glad y’all covered this movie!!! I loved this!
Should I be reading through my school's syllabus and preparing for school tomorrow? Yes, but I instead will watch Aaron and Jo react to this amazing gay firework movie🤩
Lol same
The syllabus is just a suggestion 😍
The firework ref 🤣🤣🤣
“Who’s the most powerful person in the UK?”
“Megan Markle” 😭😂
i guess aaron and jo are true allies by roasting this movie even though it’s for the gays… equality…?
Of course they cast Stephen Fry in this movie you really can't be gay in England without Stephen Fry getting in there somewhere
11:07 LMAO I think you guys got them mixed up ☠️
Watching the two of you made me feel even happier that I’m a lesbian. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
"uma thurman? dude, this IS tarantino" 😭😭💀
I just watched this last night and was like “huh, Aaron and Jo would absolutely love this movie” boy was I right 💀🤭
"It's 622" was an underrated joke 🤣
I cannot explain how or why the edit of Jo pretending to shoot as the CIA over the fireworks cracks me up, literally tears laughing 😂 so good
9:50 “oh they’re gonna actually do back piping “ 😂 what?!
You can't watch romcom with straight men , everything is comedy for them.😂😂
They are literally like this with everything that they react to
It's toxic muscularity. Straight men are raised to believe that any show of emotion is sign of weakness so they use humour as defense mechanism. It's pathetic.
@@ajeykul y’all are taking this reaction way too seriously, I swear to god
"romcom" stands for "romantic comedy", it's literally a comedy film, wtf
@@dorimeameno3767 exactly! Oh no, they laugh at a comedy. Sacrilegious.
