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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Manohla Dargis New York Times Jul 14, 2006
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 Jul 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 Jul 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) Oct 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 Sep 7, 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 Sep 1, 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

Robert P @Superbad Oct 14, 2026 Mini's First Time is a *2.5* star Movie! See more lola m @RT59547672 Aug 7, 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 Aug 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 May 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 Oct 1, 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 Apr 7, 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.
