It's a small thrill with big implications.

This isn't exactly the vehicle I'd have picked for Aubrey Plaza, but proving her immense talent once again she makes it work.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

If this movie doesn't make you laugh above everything else, and question the taste of everyone involved, then what the hell is the point?

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 8, 2020

A real stand-up first feature from Maggie Carey, put The To Do List on your list of movie viewing.

| Nov 27, 2019

The To Do List feels like the first draft of a classic comedy. But plot strands get away, situations are redundant, and the end result is a mixed bag of sexual empowerment and stupidity.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 27, 2019

The To Do List may not be a unique my-first-time comedy, but it deserves a huge thumbs up for showing girls have those feelings too.

| Nov 30, 2018

Inexperienced but hardly lacking confidence, Brandy is a rare creature in the movies, able to gradually discover her sexuality on her own terms without shame and ultimately empowered by it.

| Nov 30, 2018

It's a refreshing take on sex, combined with all the great things that make the '90s so memorable.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 14, 2018

Mixing Gloria Steinem and gross-out gags with messy aplomb, first-time writer/director Maggie Carey has created a landmark romcom.

| Sep 6, 2017

Much like its main character, the raunchy romp The To Do List tries too hard to find too much enjoyment for too long.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 12, 2016

Above all, The To Do List announces the arrival of Aubrey Plaza, movie star, with a role that takes full advantage of the awkward persona she's now best-known for.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 1, 2016

Ultimately, "The To Do List" settles for being intermittently amusing, never living up to the promise of its talented cast.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 17, 2016

Despite the sometimes childish sight gags, what salvages the movie is a refreshingly adult attitude toward the messy matter of sexuality.

| May 12, 2015

The construction is choppy and the filmmaking not always graceful, but The To Do List is very funny.

| Nov 6, 2014

This raunchy teen comedy more than earns its R-rating ... but it does so with a lot of heart.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 18, 2014

One more overly crude teen comedy

| May 23, 2014

The film gives these people just about nothing funny to do, and it's full of both gross-out gags that don't connect and dialogue that isn't especially funny.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 27, 2013

Painfully awkward encounters ensue, with Plaza handling it all with her deadpan elegance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 19, 2013

"The To Do List" is another one of those films that begs the question of how the writer ever thought it was a good idea.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 18, 2013

The jokes are frequent, rapidly fired, and often sharply written, featuring crude sexual dialogue about everything imaginable from masturbation to states of sexual arousal.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 30, 2013
