Welcome to the sinful world of the ladies of "Crush." Kate (Andie MacDowell), Janine (Imelda Staunton) and Molly (Anna Chancellor) happily engage in weekly rituals of gin guzzling, cigarette puffing, chocolate chugging and men trashing. They are practically successful women who share one common lament - their love lives - or lack thereof. But when Kate embarks on a romance with a former student (Kenny Doughty), the strength of this female bond is interrupted, resulting in a counterattack.

Critics Consensus

Derailed by jarring plot turns, Crush is an implausible take on female friendships.

3/5

While McKay's debut feature is witty, weepy and easy on the eyes, it never lets the obligation to entertain interfere with the messy flow of human responses.

Not worthy of the theaters but worthy for the "Lifetime" crowd...

Crush is a half-comedy, half-weepie that doesn't really work, though Andie MacDowell is quite wonderful.

Disturbingly non-disturbing, it's also only semi-sinister and unarousingly sensual. Odd at times though to make amends.
