The To Do List

• Comedy
• Romance

A sweetly awkward and surprisingly candid teen comedy set during a sweltering 1990s summer, *The To Do List* distinguishes itself through a refreshingly honest and unapologetically female perspective on adolescent sexual exploration. Rather than a raunchy quest, Brandy’s meticulously crafted checklist is born from genuine curiosity and a desire to navigate burgeoning sexuality with agency, albeit with hilariously clumsy results. The film cleverly balances genuinely funny moments with a tender exploration of first crushes, the anxieties of impending adulthood, and the surprisingly complex dynamic between a daughter and her well-meaning but often clueless parents. It’s a refreshingly un-judgmental look at female desire and the societal pressures surrounding virginity, creating a lighthearted yet resonant experience that avoids sensationalism in favor of observational humor and relatable vulnerability.
