The To Do List


It probably shouldn't have worked as well as it did, but damn it I loved The To Do List. It goes for the sexual gusto and more often then not it hits the sweet spot. Aubrey Plaza is perfect as Brandy, the academic nerd who knows about everything but anything physical, her sheer cluelessness is terribly endearing and often hillarious. Rachel Bilson also hits gold as her nasty, blunt, and unfiltered sister Amber, one of her many guides along her sexual journey. The movie actually reminds me of American Pie one those gone wild sex comedies with a hidden, sincere message about love and the opposite sex hidden a bit deeper. And though things start to get sappy when the moral realization occurs due to love triangle between the good natured nerd and the empty-headed stud, The To Do List has enough humor and fun to get you through the limp dicked moral epiphany.

3/4
