Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
merelyaninnuendo The To Do ListThe concept is dull, familiar and addition to that the feature completely relies upon it, walks on it and never outgrows it or offers anything more than that. The script is wafer thin and ridiculous to a point where it crosses the sense of a sketchy sequences and derails quickly in its self-created tracks. The trajectory doesn't go as far as one would imagine in fact it is fixated in a mere loop. The technical aspects too are disappointing from sound department to the editing. Maggie Carrey; the writer-director, has done a decent work on executing the premise, but the script is the real culprit in here that never had enough crisp to make it in the first place. Aubrey Plaza fits perfectly for the character projected in here and is supported well by Bill Hader. One of the major conundrum, is the stakes that are depicted, as is never able to communicate with the viewers and everything is acceptable or feasible. The To Do List is actually a not-to-do-list for the viewers, makers and the actors working on something that is deliberately mediocre and dull.
Lakisha Ferguson Let me start off with what I enjoyed about this flick: REALLY liked the premise, loved Andy Samberg's character (I love him although the song he performed was atrocious lol), and the Eddy Vedder face moment-Hilarious (although don't think it resembled him). Now let me explain what I had issues with. Like another reviewer mentioned, the clothing was like a year or 2 late, everyone was dressed like it was '91 or '92. I was somewhat surprised Nolan's parents allowed him to be in this considering how family friendly Modern Family is. I thought the mom was a little too relaxed about sex: I mean being open to conversation is one thing but giving your kids lube and walking in on them having sex is completely different. Another problem I had was the age of the Bilson's character; she acted juvenile, especially when it came to her relationship with Brandy yet she was preparing her nuptials. Wished the ending was slightly better and had a bit of a message where Brandy learned something positive... Think this movie would've been better if it had been done with college aged characters (less of a sex to-do list, more of a sexual exploration through Brandy's college years), Bison's character was eliminated altogether, some of the gross out humor had been toned down a smig (such as the pool and shower "conclusion") and that the parents had acted a little more... Parental. If those changes had been made this could've been an 8 or 9!
kwalt1989 I honestly don't understand people on here. If you read the synopsis, you know what type of movie you are about to see (and the fact that it's rated R). In all fairness, this movie is well scripted, directed, and acted. I thought there were several great performances and some HILARIOUS scenes! I mean I can see if you're like really pessimistic about everything and don't enjoy raunchy comedy, but you hopefully knew what you were getting before you sat down and watched this. Aubrey Plaza really knocks it out of the park with her dry humor and satirical comedy style. I LOVE her on Parks and Rec and I love her in this movie! It's just a good, funny, teenish movie you can sit down on a Friday night and enjoy. There's really just not a lot to hate about it.
SnoopyStyle It's 1993 in Boise, Idaho. Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza) has just graduated from high school as the straight laced valedictorian and a virgin. She has a loose older sister Amber (Rachel Bilson), frank mother (Connie Britton) and an embarrassed father (Clark Gregg). Cameron (Johnny Simmons) is her nerdy friend who is in love with her. Fiona (Alia Shawkat) and Wendy (Sarah Steele) are her slutty best friends. She gets convinced by her sister that she needs to lose her virginity before going to college. She wants to lose it to hot guy Rusty Waters (Scott Porter). So she makes a sexual to-do list. She's working at the pool managed by Willy (Bill Hader) for the summer where Rusty, Derrick (Donald Glover) and Cameron are working.This is a fine inappropriate coming of age movie from writer/director Maggie Carey. My biggest problem is actually Aubrey Plaza. She's too old to play a teenager. She also plays very sarcastic which takes away from the character. I think either Alia Shawkat or Sarah Steele would be better fit. They have a more innocent persona which would work much better for the character. Aubrey's whole act is low energy sarcasm. It's a better fit for a sarcastic bitter friend with a heart like 'Parks and Recreation'.
