| The Crush (1993) |
Pursued aggressively by 14-year-old Lolita wannabe Adrian Forrester* (Alicia Silverstone), daughter of his new landlords, magazine writer Nick Eliot (Cary Elwes, who has trouble faking an American accent) does his best to reject her advances while pursuing his own fledgling relationship with co-worker and photographer Amy (Jennifer Rubin).
Frustrated, Adrian turns hostile, wiping out Nick's computer hard drive and vandalizing his car. When Adrian's friend Cheyenne (Amber Benson) warns Nick about Adrian, Cheyenne falls victim to a suspicious accident while pole vaulting at the stables. After Adrian plays peeping tom and sees Nick and Amy having sex, Adrian locks Amy in her darkroom and unleashes a swarm of bees through the air vents.
Nick tries to make Adrian's parents ("That 70s Show" dad Kurtwood Smith, and Gwynyth Walsh) that something's not right with their precocious teen, to no avail. Nick realizes he'd better move out of the Forresters' guest house, but before he can, Adrian accuses him of raping her, going as far as fishing a used condom out of Nick's garbage to use as evidence. Nick is arrested, and his boss Michael (Matthew Walker) bails him out — but fires him, too.
Enter Cheyenne, who tells Nick that Adrian keeps a diary, which will clear Nick's name. After Cheyenne leaves, Nick hears something going on in the Forrester house, and investigates. He finds Cheyenne in the attic, tied up. Enter Adrian, followed by her father, who lunges at Nick. Adrian then attacks her father, and in the ensuing chaos, Nick lays Adrian flat with a knock-out punch.
Cleared, Nick moves in with Amy, while Adrian moves into a psych ward. Her doctor thinks she's making progress... but we can tell Adrian now has a crush on him.
* ...or Adrienne, or Darian, depending on who you ask.
