There are so many good indies to see this summer that the list
keeps growing and growing. Luckily, ten readers can scratch the upcoming comedy
The To Do List off the ever-expanding
roster of films to see. Loosely inspired by the real-life adventures of
first-time writer/director Maggie Carey, The
To Do List is a heartfelt comedy about close friends and a special summer
project. Set in 1993, valedictorian Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza, Safety Not Guaranteed) 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 (Alia Shawkat, Sarah Steele,
Donald Glover, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Johnny Simmons), older sister
(Rachel Bilson) and burnt-out boss (Bill Hader) 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.
