Avis en vedette
Written and directed by Alan Shapiro, this film doesn't exactly have the brightest characters. As a result, you never really root for Nick. Fortunately Silverstone, who'd previously made her name in Aerosmith rock videos, is a total hoot as this deranged gal who does some pretty nasty things to make her crush look bad. And things do indeed look very bad for Nick when she frames him for sexual assault. Elwes does what he can with his obtuse role, while Smith has some choice moments as the dad. Jennifer Rubin looks quite lovely as the photographer whom we know is more appropriate for Nick. And Amber Benson lends some solid support as Adrians' "friend" who tries to warn Nick about what she knows.
The movie *is* well paced and climaxes in one of the more priceless confrontation scenes that you're likely to see in this sort of thing. The ending is actually rather effective in its payoff of the Adrian character.
Silverstone may well have had a body double for the nude scenes, but it's still quite uncomfortable when remembering that the character being watched is a mere 14 years old.
All in all, "The Crush" is entertaining if exploitative trash, and should never ever be taken too seriously.
Seven out of 10.
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesWhen the movie was edited for TV, Alicia Silverstone's character's name changed from Darian Forrester to Adrian. Screenwriter and director Alan Shapiro had based the film on actual events that happened to him and ended up being sued by the girl he wrote about, who had the same name as his "fictional" character.
- GaffesIn the TV version, when they changed all instances of Darian's name to Adrian, they forgot one part. At the end, Nick is going through the dozens of letters she has sent him. The return addresses say Darian, or D. Forrester, etc. (see trivia)
