Crush

Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach

Crush is the kind of movie that gives friendship a bad name.

The New York Times by Dave Kehr

The sudden, radical change of tone is something far beyond Mr. McKay's nascent abilities as a filmmaker, and Crush never really rights itself.

Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern

The script's foolish contrivances crush its content.

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

With heavy emphasis on cliché and stereotype, has at least four false endings -- and drags on for nearly two hours -- before it finally contrives to reunite its sitcomish pals for a last drink together.

L.A. Weekly by Manohla Dargis

What’s striking about John McKay's feature debut is how much contempt toward his female characters the writer-director manages to pack into 115 minutes.

Austin Chronicle by Marjorie Baumgarten

The kind of movie that gives "chick flicks" a bad reputation.

Washington Post by Michael O'Sullivan

Oddly off-balance, estrogen-powered dramedy.

USA Today by Mike Clark

After "Chocolat" and this, how about a moratorium on candy-centered comedies?

Miami Herald by Rene Rodriguez

What Crush lacks in substance and originality, it makes up for with sheer likability.

There are pleasures to be had early on in Crush, but they get fewer and farther between. Nice while it lasts, the glow wears off all too quickly.
