      • Trivia

        Anna: Every young man must have his fill of conquests before he really loves, and I think you'll find I make a far better conquest than I do a love.

        Kenny: I don't understand

        Anna: You don't have to understand. It'll happen anyway.

      Can't rate the movie haven't seen it

      I haven't seen this movie but I was an extra in it. I worked for about two weeks on the film but it was rated R and I was only about 10 at the time I am trying to find a copy of it so that i may finally see it after all these years . If you know how I can get a copy please let me know . I think that it would be good for a laugh to look back and see it. I never did know the story line you guys have kind of informed me I only knew that the title was The Beginners Three and then I think changed to The First Time and I didn't know about these other titles. From the reviews it sounds quite mixed but it would be great to see it myself.

      Thanks Shirley
