    Editorial Reviews

    The Crush is a psychological thriller wherein a young man is the object of the obsession of a mentally unbalanced young girl. Journalist Nick Elliot (Cary Elwes) rents the guest house of a wealthy couple. The family's 14-year-old daughter Darien (Alicia Silverstone) flirts with him, and when her advances are not reciprocated she becomes increasingly obsessed with him resorting at last to violence and murder. Alicia Silverstone is beautiful and surprisingly good as the obsessed girl. Cary Elwes is also good in conveying his attraction and restraint in his dealings with so young and troubled a girl. However, the premise of the man being trapped by the aggressive, vengeful female is somewhat outdated and cliched. The Crush which should concentrate on the motivations of the girl, instead focuses on her increasingly violent acts, which include the vandalism of Nick's car and the attempted murder of his girlfriend. None of the characters are very real, and the plot is contrived, depending on illogical coincidence and implausible behavior by the principal characters. The Crush, an exploitive, cliched melodrama masquerading as a thriller, fails to either surprise or thrill. Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide

    May 04, 2008: Alicia silverstone makes her screen acting debute in the crush also starring cary elwes who some may or may not remember from 1987's the princess bride also 1993's robin hood men in tights.Alicia silverstone plays 14 year old adrian.She's like every other 14 year old she likes horses and playing the piano and hurting and killing people.Cary Elwes plays nick who befriends the 14 year old after moving into her parents guest house.This is not a love story.I wont spoil the movie for you but its alicia silverstone at her best.Buy this movie its worth every penny!!!.
