The To Do List (2013) 8/10

Starring : Aubrey Plaza, Johnny Simmons, Bill Hader, Alia Shawkat, Sarah Steele, Scott Porter, Rachel Bilson
Director : Maggie Carey
Running Time : 104 mins

Brandy Klark (Plaza) graduates high school as one of the most successful students in their history, but she never did manage to be a success when it comes to sexual exploits. So when her slutty sister Amber (Bilson) tells her how important sexual experience is, Brandy writes up a list of all the sexual acts she wishes to accomplish before she starts college.

This gross-out comedy takes the usual plots that are reserved for teenage boys and turns them on its head. Plaza plays the sexually inadequate Brandy perfectly and keeps the deadpan laughs coming from start to finish, with a superior supporting cast managing to make the unlikely scenarios all the more believable. Fans of American Pie will love this inverted sex comedy that feels so original in spite of taking a lot of story lines from other teen comedies and flipping them around.
