The Crush

Eight-year-old Ardal is in love with his teacher, Ms Purdy, and when she gets engaged to a man he finds entirely unacceptable, he takes his cue from his favourite westerns and challenges the fiancé to a duel. Michael Creagh's Oscar-nominated comedy plays a child's absolute seriousness completely straight, and the ending pays it off. Fifteen minutes, and an easy one to show a mixed age group.
