I found this movie very interesting and fun and i love Nikki Reed in this. It had me glued from start to finish. Very good performance from all characters. It made me laugh and shocked me a little also. I didn't think i was going to like it but surprisingly it was a really good movie. I would definitely recommend it if you like dark comedy.

There's not anyone in it with any real redeeming qualities and Reed plays her part to a tee.Unacceptable: Unfortunately, it isn't a huge amount of fun either.Summary: There are some movies that are so mean they're a kick to watch, and there are some good spots in this movie, but most of it is too bitchy to be very enjoyable.2/5
... View Morewhat a powerhouse of a movie. this one has a lot of racy stuff. a well of rich-guy Alec Baldwin is married to Carrie Ann Moss who constantly finds herself with a bottle and a bunch of pills, partying all the time, he is a lawyer in his firm, Nikki Reed plays Mini, a sexy young teen girl in High School who thinks she's got to have it all. Jeff Goldblum is their busybody neighbor, and Luke Wilson plays the detective hot on the trail of murder. the sequence of events goes by pretty quick so this is a movie where you really got to pay attention to every detail. the daughter feels neglected i guess and decides to turn tricks at the local escort agency,, at first she gets a client who is so remorseful he cries in her lap,, so she requests customers who actually have no regrets and want to do her,, so next client comes in ,, guess what,, it's her stepfather,, no he has no idea it's her at all,, she sees him,, makes him turn out the lights, and does a southern drawl to throw him off,, only after they get to the parking garage do the finally see each other,, she tells him,, oh you were so great.. yeah this is twisted. must see TV........
... View MoreSPOILERS: I thought I was going to love this! I've recently seen the movie "Pretty Persuasion" which is a bit similar to this and liked that a lot. But this movie, while not awful, really bothered me. It was very well acted, actually amazingly so, featuring superb performances from all the cast and wonderful direction but the movie was so incredibly mean that it was very difficult to enjoy it.Since I generally enjoy these type of pictures (I count 'Heathers", "Cruel Intentions", "Wild Things", "Election" and "pretty Persuasion" as good movies) I did ask myself why I had such a hard time with this one. Using comparisons to 'Pretty Persuasion" a movie I just saw recently, I have to say that movie, despite the twisted aspects-(and there were many) was provocative. It was daring but it had something to say. There were a lot of different themes explored and it made one think.But with Minnie's first time, it seems mean without all the Depth and introspective aspects. This is a very hard movie to like. I Will admit I was riveted and had no desire to turn it off. But man did it annoy me at times! It is a disturbing movie I'll give it that.Some of the main characters frustrated the heck out of me. Unlike other movies, we are not provided much detail on Minnie's motivations either. She just seems to hurt people randomly. Alec Baldwin did a great job with his character but this story was just to twisted for me. I mean sometimes there is a line between dark and utterly twisted. Minnie's first time seemed a compilation of many other films but the depth needed to really make a good film didn't seem to be there. This was not awful or dreadful but it just was not my type of movie. I thought it would be. It started promisingly. But This movie just left a bad taste in my mouth in general. I guessed fairly early the pictures were from Minnie not the neighbor. I was also bothered that Minnie got of Scot free. So this isn't my favorite of the genre although I've seen a lot of 1 and 2 votes on here and I could never give it a really really low rating because it's got some positives, mainly the performances. This movie defines "Performance Driven".So in spite of the negatives and Even though I wouldn't strongly recommend this, I'd give it a rating of low 6. It's got some positives, number one as mentioned the performances but also is the way the movie sticks with you-way more then other similar films. This movie is disturbing and one won"t forget it easily. I have noticed many either seem to love this or hate this. There are so many excessively low or high ratings on here. I'm one in between. I don't think this is Oscar material but nor do I think it's awful. I may even watch it again! (It could fall into the "Guilty Pleasure" type of movie but it wasn't that enjoyable to watch so I guess not) If I sound a bit confused about this movie it is because I am. But this is one where even though I was bothered by it, it does have something that grabs the viewer. Alec Baldwin is excellent as is Reed, Glodblum, Moss and Luke Wilson in a small but surprisingly effective role. This movie will never be one of my favorites and I can think of many other directions I'd have preferred it to go but it sure is intense movie watching. My vote's 6.
