3/3/13 - The First Time

The First Time is a romantic comedy that came out in the US last year. I did not know about this movie until earlier today. It was apparently a part of the Sundance festival which is no surprise why I haven't heard about it before.

But what made me watch the movie was the cast. Its two leading stars are Britt Robertson and Dylan O' Brien. Both of which are people I'm aware of since they come from shows I watch, Britt appeared in Life Unexpected and The Secret Circle while Dylan is a regular on Teen Wolf.

The story is nothing groundbreaking but I still thought that I would like it. It was about Dave (O' Brien) and Aubrey (Robertson), two high school students dealing with their own relationship problems until they hook up with each other and try to do the deed for the first time, hence, the title. It's not exactly R-rated and there's no nudity scenes, just some lovemaking scenes. It also stars Victoria Justice and some other actors that looks familiar. The movie was dialogue driven, and the setting of the movie was just for a week or so and yet it has moments where it feels like it's dragging and becoming monotonous but I still liked it overall.

The best thing about this movie is the soundtrack. I literally love every song that was played all throughout the movie. I'm having a hard time looking for the songs to download online so I had to list them one by one when the credits rolled in and I'll have to manually look for each one of them soon.

I should probably check out the movies that were shown during the festival. So far, I've seen two including this one.
