Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times There is much to like here, a sense of nuance and nonjudgmental emotional openness, yet Kasdan's teenage miniaturism never quite blooms. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 19, 2012 Full Review Sara Stewart New York Post [An] inoffensive but bland ode to the talky high school movies of John Hughes and Cameron Crowe. Rated: 2/4 Oct 19, 2012 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times No gratuitous raunchiness here and only a few tired caricatures in a genre usually jammed with them. Rated: 3/5 Oct 18, 2012 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While the film is not worthy of abject dismissal, as Kasdan is at least trying to give us something that feels genuine, it's still predictable, still one note, and still features two main characters that aren't particularly thrilling to watch. Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Kaitlin Cole Bust Magazine The First Time isn't a groundbreaking film about teenage love, but it's cute and funny, and may spark good feelings of nostalgia for your high school years, even if you, like Aubrey, couldn't wait to get out of there. Oct 28, 2016 Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis I'm going to give it a seven because of the two stars. They're so darned likable that they make the film's shortcomings seem unimportant.

Sasha T dylan o'brien is hot Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: A Primeira Vez Assistido: 23-8-23 Elenco: @imdylanobrien @brittlrobertson @victoriajustice Modelo: #comedia #comedy #romance #comediaromantica Duração: 1h 35m Ano: 2012 Minha opinião: Uma comédia Teen. Diferente dos anos 80 e 90 onde as comédias eram mais escrachadas. Aqui conta a estoria de 2 casais. Dave e Jane & Aubrey e Ronny. A estoria começa Com Dave conhecendo Aubrey em uma festa onde estavam desconectados dela e se encontram e curtem o momento. Até que em outros momentos se encontram novamente mas sentem que uma química rolou porém com o andar da carroagem descobrem que cada um tem um parceiro. Aí a situação vai se desenrolando onde o desejo dos 2 aumenta como as atrapalhadas. Até que chega ao final onde tudo se desfaz e será que eles ficaram juntos? Roteiro e enredo teen. Vale apena assistir? Sim nas férias. Pois é meio sessão da tarde. Nota: 5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Todd C It is cheesy and predictable and at first I thought it was poorly acted. If you hate teen romantic movies, you will hate this. However, there was a deeper side to the movie and I got into it after a while. Nothing stands out as great, but the story of a couple of teenagers having sex for the fist time hit home a bit. I tried to not like it, but in the end, I kind of do. I don't recommend it, but there was something about it that made me care. There are sweet moments, but I will say that even in their immaturity, they were more mature than real juniors and seniors in HS. O'Brien and Robertson had good chemistry and are very likeable characters and humans. It is not a raunchy teen movie, which was refreshing. The friends were great. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Dollface172 B Nothing particularly groundbreaking about this movie but it's cute and funny and the leads make you smile from start to finish. Everyone had awkward moments in high school when it came to talking about sex; this movie makes it easy to relate to the main characters in that way Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review felipe m It's a cute movie, it's cool to follow the story of the two protagonists who really manage to convey chemistry in their relationship, but the film's script is super expository and very cliche, and when the film depends on the interaction of a supporting actor, it drops considerably the quality, because they are bland characters with no background. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/23 Full Review steve d The script is so contrived and stilted that it sinks the strong performances. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
