Mini is a wonderful character, and she’s the villain you simply can’t help but root for, watching the dominoes fall where they must, and lets these yuppies self-destruct.

Reviews for Mini's First Time
A lethal joyride through the debauched lifestyles of L.A.'s glamour-industry elite.
09/07/06
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.
09/01/06
A deliciously evil black comedy that's sure to elicit lots of shameful giggles throughout.
07/15/06
The director has created a stylish spoof filled with some razor-sharp dialogue and truly wild, original moments.
07/14/06
A dandy exercise in depravity, debauchery, and cynicism.
06/26/06
Mini’s First Time is a down-and-dirty exercise in depravity and debauchery; in other words, just the kind of plot that gets us to turn off the TV and head for the multiplex -- blue states and red states alike.
09/01/06
Mini has a cleverly devious wrap-around ending, but you have been warned: It's twisted.
07/14/06
Mini's First Time is Bret Easton Ellis territory with palm trees, explored by smarmy blunderers.
07/13/06
Part of Mini's charm... may be in its single-minded devotion to the utterly depraved and comically debauched.
06/24/06
Top CriticA comedy that's a mix of Mean Girls, Mamet and Mephistopheles.
07/13/06
Top CriticPitch-black and bound to offend anyone who's not on its wavelength, Nick Guthe's entertainingly slick debut is a mordantly funny slice of lust, crime and sleaze life set in the world of L.A.'s industry elite.
07/14/06
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.
07/14/06
Black teenage comedy in a cautionary tale about the dangers of kids growing up alone.
06/06/06
Trashy but fun, Mini's First Time is like one of those paperback books you might take to the beach. You don't brag about having read it, but you enjoy every page.
07/18/06
It's a bad, preposterous and horrifyingly cliched black comedy about a girl gone wicked.
07/14/06
Touches fleetingly on an interesting phenomenon — namely, the manner in which a father’s advances simultaneously disgust and enthrall his teenage stepdaughter.
08/31/06
a bloated waste of time and money... an unequivocal low.
07/13/06
The characters in Mini are played by fine performers (Alec Baldwin, Jeff Goldblum, Carrie-Anne Moss), but they're still one-note.
09/07/06
Mini's First Time unfortunately degenerates into a sexed-up version of a Law & Order episode.
