Mini's First Time - 3 stars

Mini's First Time stars the young Nikki Reed, who I've never seen before, the always fabulous Alec Baldwin and surprisingly different Carrie-Ann Moss (Trinity in the Matrix) with support from Jeff Goldblum and Luke Wilson. Carrie-Ann makes this film - it's always fun to watch outrageously bad mothers in film. The story is that thrill-seeking Mini is trying to accomplish as many "firsts" in her life. She has no fear and finds her way into crazy situations, duping adults along the way. It's entertaining until the end, although the surprises aren't exactly a surprise.

Nikki Reed wrote and starred in Thirteen (2003), a fabulous movie that is every girl's parent's nightmare. Apparently Reed really did have a friend who led her astray, and then played the bad girl in the movie which also starred Evan Rachel Wood.
