Aubrey Plaza ‘The To Do List’ Movie: A Look At Teen Sexuality In 'An Era Without Google,’ She Says In Interview

Aubrey Plaza's new movie "The To Do List" will premiere this Friday, July 26, and is a coming of age tale of a nerdy teenager living in the 1990s.

According to The Christian Post, Plaza talked about the new comedy movie at the Regency Bruin Theater in Westwood, Calif., on July 23. The star of "Parks and Recreation" discussed the themes in the film, which takes place in 1993.

"I think that the movie is just a great, honest portrayal of teenagers that live in an era without Google and have to really learn about awkward sexual things through experience, through talking with each other, figuring it out the old-fashioned way," Plaza said on the red carpet.

The film is about Brandy (Plaza) who creates a to-do list of sexual experiences to complete in the summer before she starts college. With the guidance of her sister Amber (Rachel Bilson), who lost her virginity at 14, Brandy hopes to go from amateur to sexual expert in a few months, The Huffington Post reports.

Bilson also commented on the time period of the movie.

"I think it's cool," said Bilson, remarking on how "The To Do List" puts teenage hormones in context of the early 1990s, The Christian Post writes. "It shows that people talked about. People go to each other's houses to actually have a conversation. With all the sexting going on and stuff you can see - there was another time when people actually conversed."

According to USA Today, "The To Do List" is full of '90s memorabilia.

"I liked those slap bracelets," Plaza said, commenting on a popular accessory from the early '90s.

"The home phone line was prime territory," said Scott Porter, who plays the lifeguard that Brandy plans to complete her final sexual act with.

"It was more important than the bathroom in the morning. If you had siblings, getting a personal phone line for Christmas was the greatest gift you could get. And I still have a troll doll. ... I have a Denver Broncos one," he said.
