In the film, Plaza’s character Brandy was her class valedictorian but managed to finish high school with her virginity intact. One raucous graduation party later, she decides to remedy the situation before starting college in the fall.

Watch for Brandy stumbling over her unfamiliarity with certain terms of, er, endearment.

Director Maggie Carey’s 1993-set comedy boasts the tagline, “From straight A’s to her first F.”

The film, which co-stars Bill Hader, Alia Shawkar and Johnny Simmons, opens July 26.

Plaza’s comedy, which centers on an awkward overachiever who tries to make up for her sexual underachieving in high school before she heads to college, has been moved up from August 16 to July 26.

Instead of facing off against Universal’s action-comedy sequel Kick-Ass 2, it will now serve as counterprogramming to Fox’s highly anticipated film The Wolverine.

Along with Plaza, writer-director Maggie Carey’s film also stars Johnny Simmons, Bill Hader, Alia Shawkat, Rachel Bilson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Andy Samberg and Connie Britton.

So what’s next on Aubrey Plaza to-do list? Opening her next motion picture next February.

The 27-year-old half-Puerto Rican actress/comedian—who recently picked up a Young Hollywood Award for her breakthrough performance in Safety Not Guaranteed—will be starring as a high school student working her way through the pains of social and sexual awkwardness in The To Do List.

The To Do List

In this first look at the 1990s-set comedy, it’s clear that both the film’s fashions and intended discomfort deliver a whole world of nostalgic pain.

The film, written and directed by Funny or Die‘s Maggie Carey, featured Plaza in rounded glasses and skorts as she sets off to figure out the world of sex, which to her dismay mostly consists of things that end with “job.”

Along with the Parks and Recreation star, the film stars several comedy stars, including Donald Glover, Andy Samberg and Bill Hader.

The To Do List will hit theaters on Valentine’s Day 2013.
