The First Time is a 2009 teen comedy directed by Barbara Topsøe-Rothenborg, based on the book Love At First Hicup by Dennis Jürgensen. The film is an American remake of the Danish film Kærlighed ved første hik, which was released in 1999.
The film is centered around a high school freshman Victor (played by Devon Werkheiser), who falls in love with the beautiful senior Anya (played by Scout Taylor-Compton) at "first hiccup." The film follows their budding romance as they learn to overcome the little hiccups that can be found in all relationships.

There was no theatrical release for The First Time in the United States. However, it was shown in theatres elsewhere in the world. The movie was released on DVD by Echo Bridge on November 3, 2010. The DVD includes no special features, and due to its mild success there has not been an announcement regarding a Blu-Ray release.
The film is also listed under Love at First Hiccup. The American DVD however calls the movie "The First Time", leaving the hiccup-related section as the byline: "It was love at first hiccup". When aired on Television, the film takes after its Dvd title. According to actress, Scout Taylor-Compton, the film will air on ABC Family, but nothing has been officially announced.
The ending credits are accompanied by Devon Werkheiser's first single, If Eyes Could Speak, which he (as Victor) is singing to Anya.
