Mini's First Time (Dark Comedy / Completed)

A sexually charged dark comedy that proves being Daddy's little girl has its many advantages!

Mini (Nikki Reed) is like any other teenage girl, she has a desperate loathing for her gold digging, drug and alcohol abusing Mother, Diana (Carrie Ann-Moss), and like all other teenage girls Mini is the apple of her Daddy's eye…or the eye of her very rich Step Father, Martin (Alec Baldwin) to be more precise. But Mini has an idea, she is going to follow in the footsteps of her dear Mother, Diana and get what she wants when she wants…and Mini wants it all! She wants to have it all and do it all…at least once, even if it involves seducing and bedding Martin, getting him right where she wants him.

But soon having it all isn't enough and Mini decides to take her plans one step further. With a little coaxing Mini persuades her smitten Step Father that life would be a lot more fun without Mom around. Soon murder follows lust and Martin is trapped by his lethal Lolita. It is when the cops begin to pry about the mysterious death of Mom that Martin begins to crack and Mini realizes that having everything means losing her dear Daddy Martin as well…

An irreverent, scandalous, edgy black comedy with superb performances from Nikki Reed, Carrie-Anne Moss and Alec Baldwin.

Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter:

"There is a lot to appreciate in the film, from the screenplay's wittily provocative dialogue and situations to the visual stylization with which the filmmaker infuses the proceedings. The first-rate cast delivers some of their best work in ages: Moss is a comic revelation as the high-strung mother; Baldwin provides surprisingly complex emotional shadings to what could have been a stock character; and Reed, in addition to being devastatingly alluring, displays a strong presence as the precocious Mini. In a smaller role as a too-nosy neighbor, Jeff Goldblum uses his smarmy persona to hilarious effect."

John Anderson, Variety:

"A venomous bonbon filled with black-hearted satire, MINI'S FIRST TIME is a comedy about cynical opportunism, self-interest and how to be a successful sociopath. Appeal should be across the board, but especially among auds with a taste for the sardonic."

"Production values are first-rate, notably Linda Burton's production design and Dan Stoloff's camera work. Composer Cato's music is solid, too..."
