Newish

The First Time (2012)

Directed by Jon Kasdan this film stars Britt Robertson, Dylan O'Brien and Craig Roberts. Two awkward teenagers meet at a party and stumble around beginning an awkward relationship.

Unlike a lot of other romantic comedies about teens that want to lose their virginity this film is a lot less raunchy taking a more down to earth and low key approach. What the film does lack in humour it makes up for in being a more realistic approach to teenagers that are not sure about what they are doing. All that being said there are times the film the embraces genre clichés a little too much which undercut the attempt to be a more realistic film.


3/5
