The First Time Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
No gratuitous raunchiness here and only a few tired caricatures in a genre usually jammed with them.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
There is much to like here, a sense of nuance and nonjudgmental emotional openness, yet Kasdan's teenage miniaturism never quite blooms.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The highest praise that I can give to this movie is that in the first fifteen minutes, I was rolling my eyes at these kids, and by the end, I was eager to re-watch that opening scene, to get to know them all over again.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
[An] inoffensive but bland ode to the talky high school movies of John Hughes and Cameron Crowe.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An exploration of the high expectations, fears, and fantasies surrounding the act of losing your virginity.
Paste Magazine
Annlee Ellingson
For a film that's treading the same territory as American Pie, The First Time lends a bit of dignity to the first time.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Sex and love are both novel experiences for two high schoolers in this talky affair that suggests a hybrid of Before Sunset and Some Kind of Wonderful.
Movie Metropolis
James Plath
I'm going to give it a seven because of the two stars. They're so darned likable that they make the film's shortcomings seem unimportant.

Robert Levin
when it comes to insight into being a teen in this day an age, or any of the other traits that set the best high school movies apart, The First Time comes up empty.
Common Sense Media
S. Jhoanna Robledo
Frank-but-approachable romcom about teens and sex.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Something of a wonder, a palm-size ball of banter and irony and earnestness that never stops rolling and almost never misses the sweet spots.
The Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
The First Time feels slight and pretty ordinary by the end, with no edge or compelling insights.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This teen romance proves perilously short on substance, insight and novelty, unless you count its characters being afflicted with a case of Juno mouth.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
While the film is not worthy of abject dismissal, as Kasdan is at least trying to give us something that feels genuine, it's still predictable, still one note, and still features two main characters that aren't particularly thrilling to watch.
Bust Magazine
Kaitlin Cole
The First Time isn't a groundbreaking film about teenage love, but it's cute and funny, and may spark good feelings of nostalgia for your high school years, even if you, like Aubrey, couldn't wait to get out of there.
Film Journal International
David Noh
This comedy about two teens losing their virginity aims for hilarity but instead achieves ho-hum status.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
A maturity and emotional intelligence not usually associated with the genre. Don't let it get lost among the louder, shinier releases of the movie weekend.
