The three 40-ish women who populate the deliciously sinful world of Crush, Kate (Andie MacDowell), Janine (Imelda Staunton) and Molly (Anna Chancellor), happily engage in weekly rituals of gin guzzling, cigarette puffing, chocolate chugging and men trashing. They are successful women who share one common lament, their love lives, or lack thereof. But when Kate embarks on a passionate and capricious romance with a former student (Kenny Doughty), the strength of this female bond is interrupted, resulting in a devious counterattack by the other two. This sharply observed ode to the triumphs and tragedies of women and the men who accessorize them is witty, wry, provocative and touching, a captivating story revolving around the mysteries of love and the power of female friendship.
