BTW, Crush is produced by American High — a production company that specializes in provocative teen movies — and was written and directed by queer people! AKA this sounds like the recipe for a great film!!! 

Our story follows Paige (played by Rowan Blanchard), a shy, artsy girl with an unrequited crush and a dream of getting into art school:

Hulu

Part of her college application requires her to make an art piece depicting her "happiest moment," and I'm already stressed on Paige's behalf. 

Her unrequited crush is on Gabriella (played by Isabella Ferreira), and Paige has decided that it's finally time to make her move!

Hulu

Shoot your shot, gworl!

So Paige decides to join track to get closer to her, but her plan backfires when the track coach has AJ (played by Auli’i Cravalho) — Gabriella's sister — train her for the team:

And the plot thickens! 

And then the plan DOUBLE backfires, because Paige ends up developing feelings for AJ AND GABRIELLA!

Family dinners at AJ and Gabby's must be hella awk... 

HOW'S A GIRL TO CHOOSE? AND WHAT PIECE IS SHE GOING TO SUBMIT FOR HER COLLEGE APPLICATION??

I love seeing Teala Dunn thriving! 

AND we've got funny adults meant for comic relief:

My favorite genre of films include "Megan Mullally Being a Megan MullALLY to Her Kids" (Date and Switch and G.B.F. ) and "Michelle Buteau Somehow Succeeded at Jobs Where She's Not Qualified" (Work It and Marry Me). 

This movie's truly got it all! Be sure to mark your cals for April 29 to stream Crush on Hulu!
