What happens

The First Time is a 2012 American teen romantic comedy film written and directed by Jonathan Kasdan, starring Britt Robertson, Dylan O'Brien, James Frecheville, and Victoria Justice. Dave Hodgman (O'Brien) is a high school senior who spends most of his time pining away over his best friend, Jane Harmon (Justice), a girl he cannot have. Aubrey Miller (Robertson), a junior at a different high school, has an older boyfriend, Ronny (Frecheville) who does not quite understand her or seem to care. A casual conversation between Dave and Aubrey sparks an instant connection, and, over the course of a weekend, things turn magical, romantic, complicated, and funny as Aubrey and Dave discover what it is like to fall in love for the first time.
