A first for everything.....
Review of Mini's First Time (DVD) by
peteandcesca
Advantages: Lots of well known actors - bit different
Disadvantages: there are better films I suppose
...It shows his side as Mini's stepfather and as they start their affair he then starts to fall for her and you can see he is struggling with wanting to be with her but, also embarrassed by what he is doing.
Carrie-Anne Moss is Diane, Mini's mother and I thought she played her role pretty well. Obviously she is probably most well known for her role in the 'Matrix' but here she plays a different role altogether. We see her as a drunk who is nasty and ... ...career. We see her becoming more and more worked up as the film progresses and I thought she was very good in her character role.
Jeff Goldblum plays the neighbour in the film of Mini, Diane and Martin. He plays a big time TV producer and is actually sleeping with Diane on the side! He also likes to watch Mini whilst she is in the pool which Mini knows. He played a part that seemed the same as he always does - charming and a bit boring but he suited ...
