    Nothing surprising, but executed well.
    I stumbled on this movie without knowing anything about it. It's a charming high school rom-com with no surprises, but executed very well.

    The viewer does have to suspend disbelief on a few things. High school students aren't this glib, most of them aren't queer, and they aren't this nice. They drink and take drugs, but they are very polite. Unlike a John Hughes movie, all the students get along. There aren't any bullies or bad guys.

    Rowan Blanchard, Auli'i Cravalho, and Isabella Ferreira all did a great job. They all seemed like real people with back stories and the usual uncertainties.

    The adults, Aasif Mandvi, Michelle Buteau and Megan Mullally are background characters for the high school drama, but they had there own things going on and added to the plausibility of the movie.

    There were a lot of funny quips and witty dialogue. Not hilarious, but funny if the viewer is paying attention.

    Cute light-harted movie
    A beautiful and unique movie that I hope will inspire other directors to make more wlw movies. Here finally we have good representation of queer women, that doesn't include that usual extra-drama that is common in most lesbian movies. Crush is a breath of fresh air that was really needed.
