Hollywood has a long tradition of R-rated "losing my virginity before college" comedies. But from Porky's to American Pie to Girl Next Door to to Superbad, that tradition typically has a common thread: It's the dudes who want to get down. Led by Aubrey Plaza The To Do List looks to carry on the genre but with a reversal of the gender roles.
The To Do List is a nostalgia win, taking place in the awkward, fashion-challenged '90s, and follows Plaza in all her skorts-wearing glory as she navigates the unfamiliar world of sex with the same tenacity and dedicated planning that made her valedictorian. With only a summer before college, Plaza sets out to conquer her list of sex acts, which she dishearteningly realizes consists of a bunch of "jobs."
The film is written and directed by Funny or Die alum Maggie Carey, and is rounded out by an all-star ensemble cast including Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Alia Shawkat, Rachel Bilson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Connie Britton, and an orally challenged Donald Glover.
Note: This one's a Red Band trailer so headphones up. Translation: NSFW.
