Synopsis
The To Do List (2013) is Maggie Carey's coming-of-age comedy, ready to watch online on iFILM. Set in the summer of 1993, it follows a straight-A student who draws up a checklist of sexual milestones to knock out before college starts.
Brandy Klark has aced every class and never really lived a little, so she approaches her inexperience the way she'd approach a final exam: methodically, item by item, from first kiss to far more awkward territory. Aubrey Plaza plays Brandy with deadpan nerve, surrounded by an overachiever's family, a watchful older sister, and a crew of co-workers at the local public pool. The cast packs in Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Donald Glover, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Rachel Bilson.
Carey wrote and directed her debut as a frank teen comedy told from a girl's point of view, flipping a setup the genre usually hands to the boys. It's crude, cringey and genuinely funny in spots, with a sharp eye for early-'90s nostalgia. Stream The To Do List online on iFILM.
