SPOILERS: I thought I was going to love this! I've recently seen the movie "Pretty Persuasion" which is a bit similar to this and liked that a lot. But this movie, while not awful, really bothered me. It was very well acted, actually amazingly so, featuring superb performances from all the cast and wonderful direction but the movie was so incredibly mean that it was very difficult to enjoy it. Since I generally enjoy these type of pictures (I count 'Heathers", "Cruel Intentions", "Wild Things", "Election" and "pretty Persuasion" as good movies) I did ask myself why I had such a hard time with this one. Using comparisons to 'Pretty Persuasion" a movie I just saw recently, I have to say that movie, despite the twisted aspects-(and there were many) was provocative. It was daring but it had something to say. There were a lot of different themes explored and it made one think. But with Minnie's first time, it seems mean without all the Depth and introspective aspects. This is a very hard movie to like. I Will admit I was riveted and had no desire to turn it off. But man did it annoy me at times! It is a disturbing movie I'll give it that. Some of the main characters frustrated the heck out of me. Unlike other movies, we are not provided much detail on Minnie's motivations either. She just seems to hurt people randomly. Alec Baldwin did a great job with his character but this story was just to twisted for me. I mean sometimes there is a line between dark and utterly twisted. Minnie's first time seemed a compilation of many other films but the depth needed to really make a good film didn't seem to be there. This was not awful or dreadful but it just was not my type of movie. I thought it would be. It started promisingly. But This movie just left a bad taste in my mouth in general. I guessed fairly early the pictures were from Minnie not the neighbor. I was also bothered that Minnie got of Scot free. So this isn't my favorite of the genre although I've seen a lot of 1 and 2 votes on here and I could never give it a really really low rating because it's got some positives, mainly the performances. This movie defines "Performance Driven". So in spite of the negatives and Even though I wouldn't strongly recommend this, I'd give it a rating of low 6. It's got some positives, number one as mentioned the performances but also is the way the movie sticks with you-way more then other similar films. This movie is disturbing and one won"t forget it easily. I have noticed many either seem to love this or hate this. There are so many excessively low or high ratings on here. I'm one in between. I don't think this is Oscar material but nor do I think it's awful. I may even watch it again! (It could fall into the "Guilty Pleasure" type of movie but it wasn't that enjoyable to watch so I guess not) If I sound a bit confused about this movie it is because I am. But this is one where even though I was bothered by it, it does have something that grabs the viewer. Alec Baldwin is excellent as is Reed, Glodblum, Moss and Luke Wilson in a small but surprisingly effective role. This movie will never be one of my favorites and I can think of many other directions I'd have preferred it to go but it sure is intense movie watching. My vote's 6.

Nikki Reed & Alec Baldwin along with Jeff Goldblum are an unforgettable mix. This movie was an awesome breath of fresh air for movie watching. I have never heard of Nikki Reed before this, but I do have to say, I will never forget her.It was great to see Alec Bladwin & Jeff Goldblum together in an excellent story. I would actually like a sequel to this one(with the same characters of course)You could start the story right from where it left off. Luke Wilsons performance was too short tho. They could have made him A lot more funny. A great supporting cast. I was surprised at how many familiar faces I saw. The backdrops in this movie were very good. Kinda makes you wanna be rich! I will be buying this very soon. Buy this movie, you won't regret it!!

There are some movies that are bad, and there are other movies that are just so horrible that it makes me want to kill myself. This movie made it to my list along with Rosemary's Baby. First of all, could they have chosen an uglier girl? Well, fine, she wasn't hideous, and she looks decent in real-life pictures, but the girl for this part was supposed to be beautiful. She looked liked a trashy *. Baaad make-up. And what was up with the valedictorian part? I couldn't hear how she got that. She said she was a straight-C student? What, did she kill every student with a higher GPA? And come on!! The beating in the prison! He attacked the guard, yeah, but it didn't seem like he was still fighting after he fell on the ground. What lesson is this supposed to teach us? What was the purpose of this movie? Well, I should have known. Any movie not shown in movie theaters is bound to be disappointing. What a waste of my time. I'm now 2 hours older, a bit dumber, and a lot angrier.

This was fun to watch, see where it takes me, I don't have to get too involved movie. The beauty of this movie was the fact that you never really care what happens to any of the characters so you are detached from the outcome of anyone's actions. All of the character's in this movie, save for the persistent detective played by Luke Wilson, are deviants to a society that created them. With a few twists and turns the plot flows smoothly from start to finish with little left to the imagination. It seemed a little predictable, but nevertheless fun to watch the plot unravel. The acting was precise and enjoyable and any movie that kills off a Carrie-Ann Moss character is a good one.

Mini's First Time is not the first time this film has been made and released with a target audience in mind. Mini's First Time, starring Alec Baldwin, Nikki Reed, Jeff Goldblum and Carrie-Ann Moss rehashes the same old dark humor American Beauty made mainstream. Equipped with almost an identical soundtrack as American Beauty, Mini tries too hard to be cool. Other than the excellent performances by both Baldwin and Moss, the film is bereft of any originality and seems to take itself to seriously for its own good. Nikki Reed, although young and annoying at first becomes more and more bearable as the film progresses, and towards the end is actually acceptable. Playing the young femme fatale, Reed lends her sexuality and small amount of talent to the screen, whilst simultaneously captivating my attention with her eyes. Goldblum plays the same character he's been playing the last few years, straight out of Igby Goes Down, complete with the riches and lust for infidelity. This film does portray the rich of the Hollywood hills very well, so well that after 10 minutes or so you feel like part of the group (morning drinking, promiscuity, and infidelity). These attributes have become so mainstream in todays wealthy, dark humor, family films that it does not seem to affect me anymore like it did the first time I sat down to watch Less Than Zero or American Beauty. The film does have an edgy direction, and sometimes interesting cinematography. Unfortunately the amateur narration, by Reed, takes away from some of the realism and leaves the film feeling dull at times. Of course, not all of the film is backwash, and the director Nick Guthe does show promise in his search for something original. Unfortunately Guthe did take the risk of being cliché, and with all intents and purposes hit the nail right on the target.

Went to see at Tribeca Film fest along with a few other films and this was by far the best. Funny, twisted, weird, grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. One of the best black comedies I've seen in years. Gotta like the darker side to enjoy it, but the ending is one of the funniest/sickest ones you'll ever see. Nikki Reed is turning into an awesome young actress. Baldwin found something in this role that is hard to explain. You shouldn't feel sorry for his character, but you do. Goldblum and Moss steal every scene they're in. I had no idea Moss could be so funny. Made me forget Trinity, if that's possible. Luke Wilson has the courage to underplay a role that could have been really cheesy and ends up driving the second half of the movie as the calm, methodical detective. Don't know when exactly it's coming out. They said late summer/fall. I think it might be one of those sleepers that catches on.

This movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. Period, I only recommend watching this if you have watched every other movie on earth. Seriously, I registered for this site just to tell you how awful it is, I wish the vote would have let me give it a zero. I didn't laugh once and more often than thinking it was funny, I found it absurd to the point where it actually made me mad. Again, please please do yourself a favor and don't waste that valuable 1 1/2 hours of your life. Now its making me write 10 lines of text so I have to continue warning you that it sucks so es muy terrible, i dunno how to say it in french, IT SUCKS!!! Don't watch it!!! Am I at 10 lines yet?!?!? Seriously, this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, the only consolation is Mini is wicked hott. There I made it.

About 25 minutes into this film, it struck me. This is a sicko fantasy flick for teenage girls. Drink alcohol. Become a ho. Screw your step father. Kill your mother. Do it all to a musical accompaniment. (Turn up the bass.) Do it with a sneer that's supposed to be sexy. I had to watch the whole wretched thing to confirm that it was going to end with the obvious "plot twist." It did. There's nothing to redeem this film. The characters are stereotypes. The acting is atrocious. The girl is not pretty. And sorry fellows, she doesn't get naked. If you want to see a great film about an illicit affair turned murderous, see Body Heat. The author of this movie did.
