Plot
Nick Guthe's darkly comic Mini's First Time stars Nikki Reed as the title character, a manipulative, highly sexualized teenager with parents who fail to offer much structure or guidance. Her stepfather (Alec Baldwin) is rich and dim, and her mother (Carrie-Anne Moss) leads a hard-partying lifestyle. As the relationship between Mini and her stepfather grows more twisted, criminal activity occurs. Luke Wilson appears as a detective investigating the situation, and Jeff Goldblum plays their wealthy neighbor. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Mini Drogues (Nikki Reed) is a clever, adventurous but bored high school senior. Mini prizes her "unique experiences" (she called them "firsts"); For excitement, and to add to her list of firsts, Mini decides to try being an escort. Her first client, however, has a guilty conscience and can't carry through with the act, which disappoints Mini. Her second client, however, is decidedly more exciting — it's her stepfather Martin (Alec Baldwin). Martin is initially shocked, but soon a forbidden, torrid affair blossoms between the two. In order to be together, Mini and Martin team up against Mini's mother Diane (Carrie-Anne Moss) to have her declared insane. But in the heat of the moment, they go too far and end up framing Diane of committing suicide; they soon attract the attention of a detective (Luke Wilson) and a nosy TV producer neighbor (Jeff Goldblum), who is sexually obsessed with Mini. When Martin finds out about the day when Mini came over to their neighbor's house, he goes over himself and they get into a fight. Mini comes over to find Martin standing over the neighbor, ready to finish him off, when the police show up and arrest Martin. By now, her mother's dead, stepfathers in jail because of her, and she's still being followed by the suspicious detective.
