For the Very First Time

This movie is one of my very favorites. It's hard to explain why. Maybe it's the innocence of Corin Nemec and his awkwardness paired with the boldness of Cheryl Pollak, but it definitely has something to do with the soundtrack. Also, some of the characters have little lines or movements or moments that are amusing in and of themselves. Finally, the story is one that always tugs at my heartstrings, and the last scene is so bittersweet. All in all, I love this movie; it's perfect for a gooey, sentimental girls' night.

Hi

my name is Jessica, i'm Italian!

Some time ago I have seen this film : ' For the very first time', with Corin Corky Nemec. It was the story of Micheal and Mary Margaret. I need to know the title of the song of the most important love scene in Micheal's bedroom.

In Italy this film hasn't been programmed for many years and I don't know how to find the song. A lot of thanks for who can help me! I love this film! Is Very romantic! The soundtrack is beautiful! I love Cheryl Pollack! Jessica

I was 15 years old when this movie premiered on the television. Being raised in Texas, I understood the boredom & monotony of teenage life there. This movie touched my impressionable teenage heart & I remembered it fondly through the past 12 years. I recently got to see it for the 2nd, 3rd & 4th times thanks the the LOVE channel. I still cry because the movie reaches in & touches my inner confused teenager.

In this movie of growing up and graduating from a Texas hill-country high school, we see a Jewish boy and a Catholic girl (who happen to become neighbors) meet, fall in love, and eventually go their separate ways.

I'm a sucker for coming of age movies, particularly those in which the writer is looking back at the time in his life when he first discovers true love. That moment when having sex and having a real relationship become separate things.

This movie tells that story well. Both leads are convincing and are likeable and understandable. The supporting cast and the subplots also add to the overall effect and set this story firmly in its time and place and ground the characters in the correct mindset. There are sure to be better movies just as there are sure to be more universal and epic themes, but this film does its job well and tells a good story in a commendable way.

For those that are romantics at heart, this movie is a must see.

I believe that praise is deserved for this movie which I feel was well written and beautifully acted in. This has become one of my favorites. And although i read somewhere that there should have been accents in the movie because it took place in Texas, I disagree. Not everyone in Texas has an accent. I really think this was a great movie and it seemed very believable of the era it was portraying.
