New York Post Kyle Smith
Aa saucy as a belly piercing, Mini's First Time is a black comedy that puts the soul of "Heathers" in Lolita's bikini.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
This is a pitch-black sendup of a classic femme fatale, a teenage version of the husband-killers in "Double Indemnity" and "The Postman Always Rings Twice," without the saving grace of passion.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
Pitch-black and bound to offend anyone who's not on its wavelength, Nick Guthe's entertainingly slick debut is a mordantly funny slice of lust, crime and sleaze life set in the world of L.A.'s industry elite: Call it 9021-noir.
Read Full Review >Variety John Anderson
The performances lift "Mini" out of the gutter of utter cynicism and into the realm of the complex.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
What begins as a twisted sex romp turns film noir-ish. Guthe is so anxious to show us what a larcenous tramp Mini is that he never shows us any other sides to her.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
Boasts an uncommon stylization and some first-rate comic performances. But its provocative setup is undercut by its lengthy depiction of an all-too-familiar game of cat and mouse between the culprits and a dogged detective.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Manohla Dargis
Delectably vulgar for 20 minutes or so, almost too bad to be true, but because it lacks the demented conviction of real camp, the glint of madness that keeps a bauble like "Valley of the Dolls" afloat, it soon loses its cheap-thrills appeal.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Luke Y. Thompson
Mini is impossible to like, especially since she delivers some of the worst narration ever spoken, and her final lines are like a big middle finger to viewers foolish enough to enjoy the film.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly James C. Taylor
Mini is too tame for Skina-max and too inane to survive on the art-house circuit. It's a pretentious erotic thriller that gives honest trash a bad name.

Mike L. gave it a9:
Wicked entertainment. Total escapist fare, different from the long hot summer dull extravaganzas. The movie looks good, the actors are top notch, and it moves steadily along. Laugh out loud funny at times. I'd definitely recommend this one. And last, my congatulations to Vanessa Williams, I guess your man's a 10!
Marc D. gave it a4:
Alec Baldwin is fantastic in this film, but Nikki Reed is absolutely abyssmal. The story has been done, but this movie relies on the charm of its stars, and Nikki is sorely lacking. Only Baldwin and Jeff Goldblum save this stinker.
Kelly C. gave it a9:
Sexy, devious fun...almost peed my pants a couple of times. A relief after all the summer nonsense. First you think Alec & Nikki? But it works. And Carrie-Anne Moss is a comic revelation. Who knew "Trinity" was so damn funny?
Anthony T. gave it an8:
Wicked...deep gut funny. A new classic in the vein of Heathers & Lolita. The most unusual film I've seen this year. It's stays with you. Great acting from everyone.
Lara F. gave it a9:
Hillarious, black comedy. Not for the feint of heart, but you won't soon forget it. Great acting from all 5 leads.
Chris B. gave it a9:
This is one of the most twisted dark comedies in years. DO NOT GO if you don't like depraved humor! Went to Midnight show last night and it is awesome. Peope who don't like it are uptight.
