Crush (I) (2022)
5/10
GOOD TRY BUT POOR FOLLOW THROUGH...!
30 November 2023
A Hulu original from 2022. Rowan Blanchard stars here as a gay teen in love, secure in her gayness w/a square lock on the object of her desire (someone she's been in love with since they were young), one Gabriella, played by Isabella Ferreira, but now that they're in high school & to make up for an accusation by the faculty of her being a serial tagger, she begs for time to find the real culprit by joining the track team, a place she reckons he or she is residing. The same team where Ferreira is a member of along w/her sister, played by Auli'I Cravalho, who Blanchard corrals into finding out who the rogue graffiti artist is but due to their close proximity, her feelings for Ferreira are soon rethought since things start to head towards the romantic w/Cravalho. What will Blanchard do in the end? Slight all the way, this topical romance treats its subject matter so fey & fleeting you almost think, apart from the occasional lapse into profanity, this was better suited as Disney fare even though the actors are game & good looking. Also starring Megan Mullally as Blanchard's very understanding mom & Aasif Mandvi as the stern track team coach.
