THE TO DO LIST [2013]

Writer Maggie Carey makes her feature film directorial debut with the raunchy comedy The To Do List.
Starring Aubrey Plaza, it's pretty much the female version of American Pie, so don't expect award-winning film-making here.  It sets out to be funny and offend without asking the viewer to turn on their brains and with that it almost succeeds in being quite humorous.  However it occasionally loses it's edge and doesn't offer a whole lot of outrageousness that keeps films like these powering full steam ahead.  Still, it provided enough laugh out loud moments to keep me from checking my watch to see how much longer it will go on for.
