The movie is only briefly offensive and rarely surprising.

Reviews for The Crush
A highly implausible but somewhat above-average and entertaining 'yuppie in peril' thriller.
The Crush would be an entirely worthless and painfully familiar little thriller even without its creepy devotion to the sexiness of youth.
Yeah, Alicia Silverstone's a fetching little Lolita. But there's no excuse for this depressing 'Play Misty for Me' in spandex.
It’s impossible for a thinking person to watch this film without thinking about responsibility.
An exploitative thriller that also harbors dangerous notions about and readily trivializes child neglect, sexual abuse and rape.
