The First Time

So they'd see all shades of relationships. The sweet, the precious, the importance of a first, the possibility of better in the future, the not giving up.

While also seeing the bad, the unwanted, the struggle and what you DON'T wanna do.

This movie is great.

Great coming of age teen movie that explores the angst of the 'First Time'. Unlike most teen flicks, the characters don't fall into stereotypes, and they act their age in an intelligent way that does not lean towards Dawson Creek territory. Great from start to finish, and different from most movies in that genre.The teens are normal, the girl and boy you and I know, and now some picture perfect model. The cast were excellent in their roles in fact I have also watched the lead character in Teen Wolf and this is quite a departure from the role he plays in that. The best thing, however, about the movie is the romance was relate-able and normal, and not some unrealistic love story you only seen in movies. What a great ending!

I go back quite aways to A Summer Place and Parish,yet even as a senior citizen I found The First Time to be a refreshingly honest and well acted film highlighted by the performance of Britt Robertson, a young actress who unfortunately is in the shade of Jennifer Lawrence and Ellen Page...yet I hope she can find he way into the sun because she has a lot to offer.

The film, although light hearted, doesn't deal in mind numbing clichés. It is about the real emotions of modern high school kids, who you realize aren't that much different from the kids of my generation.

It's nice to see a film where kids actually fall deeply for each other rather than just fleeting sexual attraction.

This teen romantic comedy is a brilliant interpretation of not just having sex for the first time but also about falling in love for the first time. The movie is a brilliant choice for snuggling up with your second half or by yourself with a smile on your face watching a lovely relationship between two characters.

You can not help but root for the high school senior, Dave who is trying to grab the absolutely gorgeous Aubrey Miller who is perfect girlfriend material. She is different and you can not help but fall in love with her yourself through the duration of the movie.

As i said previously this is the perfect date movie, the atmosphere set in the movie is perfect for a snuggle to someone close to you and the ending scenes will put you in a very loving and happy mood.

I really liked The First Time. I don't feel the need to summarize what the movie is about, as the other reviews and the summary does that job, but I really enjoyed this movie. The writing for this movie really stood out to me, as the conversations felt so real between characters because of subtle little things that happen in most conversations in real life. That's a credit to the actors as well, but when you see the movie, especially the first time the main characters meet, you will understand what I mean.

It's a shame this film didn't get a bigger release in theaters because Dylan O'Brien and Britt Robertson are both terrific. They make the two characters blend so well together it's hard not to root for them to wind up together. The supporting cast does a great job as well, but this movie is all about Dave and Aubrey so there wasn't a large chunk of material for any of them.

The only thing I can suggest for this movie is don't go into it expecting to make you laugh hysterically. Don't get me wrong, it's a very funny movie, but it's more of the type that makes you smile, grin, or giggle. Can't go without mentioning the soundtrack either, its phenomenal and every song goes with its moment.

Overall, I highly recommend this movie. The only way I could see someone disliking the film is if they are not into rom-coms or high school movies, but if you are then why are you even watching it in the first place?
