First Love is a slightly above average movie. It is about Jim ( Hero Fiennes Tiffin) and Ann ( Sydney Park) who are establishing their first love together. Obviously this is a "Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back" movie. But what makes it different is the conflict is not because he did something wrong ( which happens far too often) or his parents are bigots ( he is white and she is black), but because of bad advice given by her mother ( she wants her daughter to use her body to get ahead, and because Jim's family is not wealthy ( because his father has not worked for two years), they are not good enough). Spoilers ahead: Jim is able in the end to win Ann, and marry her ( interesting to see the difference in reaction between Jim's mom ( happy for him) and Ann's mom ( not pleased) in the wedding chapel). I would have liked it more except for the cuts which are obvious to see. Finally it is slightly above average because of the happy ending which you get too few of these days. I give it 6/10 stars.
