I saw this movie on Showtime, and was hesitant to watch it thinking I had seen it already, but I believe I was thinking of Aubrey Plaza's only other starring film role to date- "Safety Not Guaranteed"-?? Well, I watched this comedy yesterday and effin' hilarious! This is one of the first period movies I've seen set in the '90s, very close to when I graduated.
Plaza plays a graduating senior, who is somewhat of a perfectionist, and she realizes as she is just about to enter college, there is one area of expertise she has fallen short of in experience- sex! So she creates the titular "To Do List"- handjobs, rimjobs, blowjobs, "dry-humping", etc.. (you get the picture), that she vows to try every step leading up to the ultimate "intercourse" of course! LOL
One might look at this movie as one of those "sexploitation" teen comedies that were especially big in the early 1980s- IE "Porky's" for instance, but it's not really. This movie has a heart, good-intelligent writing, performances, and I must say- having remembered that time period like the back of my hand- they got the music, movies, TV, pop culture references down to a tee! I was impressed!- summer of '93- playing at the local multi-plex-->> "The Firm", "Sleepless In Seattle", etc.. And look for a great cast as well- besides Plaza, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Connie Britton, Scott Porter, etc.. And *possible SPOILER*- there is a scene that references the movie "Caddyshack" in this that I was LMAO, however, might be a little too much for some to handle- remember the Bill Murray pool-cleaning scene-???? BAW-hahahahahhaaaa
