It was screened at the [Tribeca Film Festival](/source/Tribeca_Film_Festival) on May 1, 2006, and had a limited release on July 14, 2006.[2] It was released on [DVD](/source/DVD) on October 24, 2006 by [HBO Films](/source/HBO_Films).[3] ## Plot Mini Drogues is a clever and adventurous [high school senior](/source/High_school_senior) who is bored with her life. She prizes her "unique experiences" (she calls them "firsts"). For excitement, and to add to her list of firsts, Mini decides to try being a [call girl](/source/Call_girl). Her first client, however, has a guilty conscience and cannot go through with the act, which disappoints Mini. Her second client is decidedly more exciting: her stepfather Martin. Martin is initially shocked when he learns of her identity (he initially blindfolded himself during intercourse per Mini's request), but soon a torrid love affair blossoms between them. In order to be together, Mini and Martin concoct a plan to have her mother Diane declared insane. When their plan fails, she convinces him to murder Diane, despite his initial resistance to the idea. They attempt to make it appear that Diane committed [suicide](/source/Suicide), but they soon attract the attention of a detective who believes that Mini and Martin killed her. A nosy neighbor, Mike, is sexually obsessed with Mini, and when Martin learns that she has gone to Mike's house and received sexual pictures from him, he and Mike get into a fight. Mini arrives to find Martin standing over the neighbor, ready to beat him into unconsciousness, and when the police arrive they arrest Martin. Mini visits Martin in jail and admits that the sexual pictures sent were actually from her in order to get him to think that the neighbor sent them. She also reveals that she assumed the police would eventually believe he killed Diane (since he was the more likely perpetrator). Mini, therefore, ends up getting away with murder, and inherits her mother's fortune. The film ends with Mini giving the [valedictorian](/source/Valedictorian) speech, even though she is a C student; the school gave her [straight A's out of sympathy](/source/Pass_by_catastrophe) for her mother's death. She offers advice to the graduating class about how to live a good life, that perversely alludes to her crimes without making her look too suspicious. The detective is present, clearly still suspicious of Mini, but knowing that he will probably never be able to prove that she was guilty of murdering her mother. ## Cast - [Alec Baldwin](/source/Alec_Baldwin) as Martin Tannen - [Nikki Reed](/source/Nikki_Reed) as Minerva "Mini" Drogues - [Carrie-Anne Moss](/source/Carrie-Anne_Moss) as Diane Drogues-Tannen - [Jeff Goldblum](/source/Jeff_Goldblum) as Mike Rudell - [Luke Wilson](/source/Luke_Wilson) as Det.
