The To Do List

About This Movie

The To Do List, directed by Maggie Carey, brings a light-hearted yet slightly awkward take on teenage sexual exploration. Set in the early '90s, the film captures that nostalgic vibe with its production design and soundtrack. Aubrey Plaza embodies Brandy, a character that’s both relatable and hilariously earnest in her quest for experience before college life begins. The pacing is breezy, allowing for a comedic unraveling of her list items, which range from the mundane to the outrageous. It’s distinctive in its approach to female sexuality, presenting it with a mix of humor and sincerity. The performances are solid, and Plaza’s deadpan delivery adds to the film's charm, making it feel refreshingly candid in a genre often dominated by male perspectives.
