Insidiously engaging low-budgeter employs a literate sensibility, breezy tone and warm performances.

Audience Reviews for Crashing

How the hell did this movie get made? It falls into the assumption that a middle-aged-lech fantasy is any less of a middle-aged-lech fantasy just because it's diluted and overanalyzed with writerly pretension. I did like Lizzy Caplan of Mean Girls though. She's quite the chameleon.

Totally up-itself, self indulgence as it pats itself on the back from beginning to end. Decent performances save it from being bad but, alas, not from being boring. Izabella Miko stands out as usual.
