It’s nice to see this new trend of females headlining comedies. Aubrey Plaza was wonderful in the little seen SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED and is also part of the superb cast from one of my favorite shows Parks and Recreation. She plays nearly the same character in both shows and I’m guessing she plays a similar role here. But hey it works. To get you ready for the release of this weeks THE TO DO LIST, artist Ken Perkins has drawn up a cool retro poster featuring many of the characters. THE TO DO LIST stars Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Rachel Bilson, Clark Gregg, Johnny Simmons, Alia Shawkat, Sarah Steele, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader and Donald Glover. Maggie Carrie directed the film from a script she wrote and it’s set to finally hit theaters on July 26th.
THE TO DO LIST official synopsis: “The To Do List” is a comedy about close friends and a special summer project, loosely inspired by the real-life adventures of first-time writer/director Maggie Carey. Set in 1993, valedictorian Brandy Klark wants to shed her uptight image before college, so she assembles a to do list of all the “activities” she missed out on in high school. Quickly realizing that she’s way out of her depth, Brandy solicits her best friends, older sister and burnt-out boss for their help and advice. If the group is going to complete the list by September they’ll need plenty of imagination and very open minds.
