Konterr Brilliant and touching
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Lauren I had been waiting to see this movie for a while and I don't feel I was let down. I love Dylan and Britt, and they work really great together. The movie was written very well in my opinion, and showed really just how awkward and hilarious being a teenager is. I really would've liked an epilogue of some sort at the end to wrap it up a bit better, and tie up the loose ends. I also would've liked some more information on their backgrounds in how their characters developed. All in all I did adore this movie, but there were definitely things that could've been better.
rdorsett417 Where exactly was the comedy in this? Bad acting all the way around. If you're looking for a good funny movie, this definitely wasn't it.
ar664471 I don't think I've ever felt so many different feelings in a single 90 minute period before.Before I watched this movie, I was so sure that I knew exactly how this film was going to pan out; I'd written it off as 'just another rom-com' before I'd even finished reading the title.I should never have pressed play. Honest to god. If I'd known that my 'favourite film' - a spot never before occupied for me - was about to become The First Time then I would have turned and ran a mile in the opposite direction. I mean, a high school love story? Pfft. But, the thing is, this movie gets it. That's never happened for me before. I mean, I'm a cynic, I'm a narcissist, and never in all my life have I swooned over actors and on-screen romances, because they've never really felt real. This film did. How is it feasibly possible for a movie to capture the most charming, frank and unavoidably awkward moments that life is really all about, and strip back a love story until it hardly seems pretend anymore? Honestly, the acting, the script, the chemistry, the soundtrack; this is what films should be about.I just think that, speaking as a teenager who hasn't had a whole lot of first times to speak of, it just makes me see things from a whole different perspective. The first time - for anything - doesn't have to be perfect, but I feel as if every other film I've ever seen has geared it up to be that way. But here, every possible awkward thing that could happen... happens. And the acting is so brilliant that it feels like this film wasn't really written at all; it just feels so real. And even though the end result - let's face it - was always going to be the same, the journey that these two characters make to get there, with all it's unexpected twists and turns, is what makes this film what it is.It's been a long time since I've seen a movie like this. And honestly? I'd rather I didn't see another one like it; I don't think a movie like The First Time can be done more than once.
james-726-893190 For a chick-flick, this is a lovely movie. I was forced to watch it & the pacing, the filmography-- everything fell into place accordingly. It's a lovely directed movie that speaks out realism in the perspective of teens. What I liked about this movie; regardless of what those two main characters were thinking of, be it rational or not, they still fell into that mistake due to "modernism" (quoting Aubrey herself) and the confusion caused by the society itself-- pretty much peer pressure in an indirect way. Although the raging hormones do play a significant role. The actors were adorable. I couldn't help but to "ship" them secretly in my head "JUST KISS ALREADY" was all I could mouth. They both interacted genuinely and sincerely, both being traditional & mature yet dying with curiosity of what people fuss about that is considered the most greatest thing in the act of humanity. The ending gave that positive light- a bit whimsical but still one should put an effort into conveying his/her feelings. Can't say it's the WOW girl movie, but certainly one of the nicest flicks I've seen out there. I won't mind seeing it again. Good rating cause in good mood. Blame it on the movie :)
