Though wealthy, sultry teenager Mini (Nikki Reed) lives with the neglect of a mother (Carrie-Anne Moss) who drinks too much and cares too little, Mini tries to fill her empty life by always seeking "firsts." Her latest achievement is a torrid affair with her stepfather, Martin (Alec Baldwin), which escalates out of control and leaves her mother dead. Mini and Martin think they have gotten away with murder, but a nosy neighbor and a detective (Luke Wilson) may expose their plot.

Critics Consensus

This black comedy wavers between sleaze and satire, without ever fully committing to either.

1.5/5
Mini's First Time is delectably vulgar for 20 minutes or so, almost too bad to be true, but it soon loses its cheap-thrills appeal. Go to Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post 07/14/2006
3/4
Surrounded by all these pros, Reed more than holds her own: She has so much integrity about being amoral that she keeps the audience dangling between disgust and admiration. Go to Full Review Jack Mathews New York Daily News 07/14/2006
3/4
Mini has a cleverly devious wrap-around ending, but you have been warned: It's twisted. Go to Full Review Jeff Vice Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 10/13/2006
2/4
It doesn't help that first-time screenwriter/director Nick Guthe created such a superficial group of characters. Few, if any, seem believable or are interesting enough to care about. Go to Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press 09/07/2006
2/4
The characters in Mini are played by fine performers (Alec Baldwin, Jeff Goldblum, Carrie-Anne Moss), but they're still one-note. Go to Full Review Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International 09/01/2006
Much of the film reeks of decadence and new money-the snazzy cars and clothes and the boxy, minimalist modern stone and glass interiors that are as cold as the characters themselves. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

lola m @RT59547672 08/07/2025 It was a very interesting movie, mostly because of the plot. I would say this was a one time watch - wouldn't be something I would watch again. It wasn't horrible. I enjoyed watching it and it was ok. Loved the plot twist. See more Cristian s @cristiansj 08/30/2023 Buena película de misterio. Buen ritmo e historia interesante, un poquito estrafalaria y degenerada por momentos pero funcionar funciona. See more Jeremy Z @GothicFanBoy 05/18/2022 "Mini's First Time" is one of my guilty plesure lifetime-esque moives. I was in my 17-18 when this came out and along with being super Gay for Alec Baldwin seeing a Daddy-Bear like him in the taboo Step-Dad sinaro was super hot to me. I know it's not PC by todays standards but Baldwin Fans like myslef will apricated having this on dvd for a rainy day! See more 10/01/2020 I found the main actress to keep trying to be too over the top and it ended up just becoming annoying 2.4 See more hayley b @moon90 04/07/2019 i love this movie, I could not see anyone else other than alec baldwin and nikki reed playing these roles, they go together so well, great performance and plot. See more 07/08/2016 Fun, smart and very entertaining. This film really is special and gets better with repeated viewings. "Mini's First Time" ranks up their with Nikki Reed's first film "Thirteen".
