Synopsis
Three 40-something women in a small English town meet weekly for a ritual of gin, cigarettes, and sweets -- and swapped stories arguing which of them has the most pathetic love life. Kate is headmistress at the local school; her best friends are the town's police chief and a cynical, thrice-divorced doctor.

Miami Herald
What Crush lacks in substance and originality, it makes up for with sheer likability. - 50
New York Post
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. - 50
USA Today
After "Chocolat" and this, how about a moratorium on candy-centered comedies? - 50
Film Threat
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. - 40
Wall Street Journal
The script's foolish contrivances crush its content. - 40
The New York Times
The sudden, radical change of tone is something far beyond Mr. McKay's nascent abilities as a filmmaker, and Crush never really rights itself. - 38
Baltimore Sun
Crush is the kind of movie that gives friendship a bad name. - 30
Austin Chronicle
The kind of movie that gives "chick flicks" a bad reputation.
