I was `crushed' when I was informed that there were no future plans for a sequel to one of the most delightful romantic comedies of all time `Four Weddings and a Funeral'. `Crush' a female bonding pic of the same genre is no sequel to `Four Weddings', but it could easily be presented as what happened to our `four weddings' heroine Carrie if you knew `Hugh' was out of the picture. Ironically enough, our main female protagonist in `Crush' is played by none other than Carrie herself- Andie Macdowell. She plays Kate, a school headmistress who bonds with her 2 female friends each week and discuss their love lives, insecurities, and careers. A caramel candy box is given as a consolation prize to the fem with the saddest ordeal. Anna Chancellor, who played Henrietta the bride who got `Hughmongously' dumped in `Four Weddings', is wonderfully vicious here as Molly- the manipulative chumette who tries to disengage Kate's romance with a younger man. Molly is like a vengeful Henrietta who seeks justice against Kate, who can be disguised as Carrie. Besides the female kinship, the film also focuses on Kate's relationship with a younger man who used to be one her students. `Crush' does not make any new discoveries that romantic comedies have not presented before. It is more like a homage to `Four Weddings and a Funeral'. I was not adorned by `Crush', but since I still have a major `crush' with `Four Weddings and a Funeral' it `merried' me enough to recommend an engagement to `Crush'. *** Average
