Mini's First Time is a dark comedy-drama film directed by Nick Guthe and released in 2006. The film stars Nikki Reed as Mini, a manipulative and promiscuous teenager who is eager to escape her dysfunctional family. Mini's mother Diane (played by Carrie-Anne Moss) is a neglectful and abusive alcoholic, while her stepfather Martin (played by Alec Baldwin) is a wealthy businessman who appears to be disconnected from his family.
Mini seduces Martin into having an affair with her, hoping to use their relationship to gain control over him and get rid of her mother. Martin is initially hesitant, but he eventually succumbs to Mini's charms and becomes her partner in a twisted plot to drive Diane insane. They stage a series of events designed to convince Diane that she is losing her mind, including drugging her and staging a break-in.
As the plot unfolds, Mini and Martin become more embroiled in their own web of lies and deception, and their relationship becomes increasingly unhealthy. Martin becomes jealous and possessive of Mini, while she is manipulative and cruel towards him. Meanwhile, a young detective named John Garson (played by Luke Wilson) begins to investigate Diane's supposed mental breakdown, and soon discovers evidence that implicates Mini and Martin in a much darker scheme.
The film features a strong cast, with standout performances from Reed and Baldwin in particular. The plot is dark and provocative, exploring themes of manipulation, power, and psychological abuse. While the film received mixed reviews upon its release, it has since gained a cult following for its edgy and unconventional take on the coming-of-age genre.
