Reviews

The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
In the first 15 minutes, viewers may be rolling their eyes at these kids; by the end, they might be eager to re-watch that opening scene, to get to know them all over again.
80
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.
70
The New York Times - Neil Genzlinger
Sure, you've seen this story before, but this version has a freshness nonetheless.
60
Los Angeles Times - Unnamed
There is much to like here, a sense of nuance and nonjudgmental emotional openness, yet Kasdan's teenage miniaturism never quite blooms. The First Time is respectfully delicate, a little too polite.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
Feels slight and pretty ordinary by the end, with no edge or compelling insights, just a reasonable feel for teen attitudes and banter.
