Mixes slapstick, poignancy, tragedy and sophisticated wit.

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.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 31, 2002
...the plot is so mechanical it squeaks.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 31, 2002
There are as many misses as hits, but ultimately, it finds humor in the foibles of human behavior, and it's a welcome return to the roots of a genre that should depend on surprises.

Anyone who suffers through this film deserves, at the very least, a big box of consolation candy.

Feels like the first reel of Bridget Jones's Diary spliced onto Othello.

It treats women like idiots.

It should have been delicious; instead, it's like lukewarm tea -- neither hot nor cold, and definitely unappealing.

Ostensibly celebrates middle-aged girl power, even as it presents friendship between women as pathetic, dysfunctional and destructive.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 19, 2002
[MacDowell] ventures beyond her abilities several times here and reveals how bad an actress she is.

Even when Crush departs from the 4W formula ... it feels like a glossy rehash.

Despite some jaunty performances and its pretty Cotswolds locale, the film, in the end, is hardly a pleasure at all.

A guilty pleasure.
| Original Score: B- | Apr 18, 2002
Most of Crush is a clever and captivating romantic comedy with a welcome pinch of tartness.

For women who smoke and drink like fiends, the trio of pre-owned babes in this weirdly rotten femme-porn romance have awfully good, unwrinkled complexions.
| Original Score: C | Apr 18, 2002
The movie does its best to work us over, with second helpings of love, romance, tragedy, false dawns, real dawns, comic relief, two separate crises during marriage ceremonies, and the lush scenery of the Cotswolds.
