Why Watch This
The To Do List captures the awkward, earnest scramble of a teen determined to tick off a self‑made sexual checklist before college. Aubrey Plaza’s dead‑pan delivery and the film’s witty, low‑brow humor make it a fresh spin on the coming‑of‑age formula.
Best For
Teen comedy fans, Aubrey Plaza fans, Date night, Nostalgic 2010s viewers, Coming‑of‑age enthusiasts, Quirky rom‑com lovers
The CinePearl Take
Director Maggie Carey balances raunch with genuine heart, letting the protagonist’s checklist feel more like a roadmap to self‑discovery than a gag reel. Plaza shines as the sardonic “girl next door” who anchors the chaos with flawless timing. The pacing is brisk, but the film pauses long enough to let the awkward moments land, turning cringe into empathy. Overall, it’s a clever, unapologetic look at teenage insecurity that still feels surprisingly sincere.
