Harvard grad Lucy Neal (Lucy Hale) lives in a beautiful home willed to her by her grandmother, which may explain how she can make a living as a member of a classical music quartet that performs at swanky weddings. Shocked to discover that her boyfriend of four years (Stephen Friedrich) has purchased a membership to an adult website, Lucy delivers an ultimatum: porn or me. The next day finds him gathering his belongings and moving on. Is it the pornophobe in Lucy that makes it impossible for her to say anything even remotely racy, let alone enjoy sex? She’s about to find out, with the help of three musicians and a “Sex To-Do” list that consists of such endeavors as: watch 25 hardcore skin flicks, visit a sex shop, take in a strip club, etc. She meets Mr. Right, Grant Anderson (Leonidas Gulaptis) on the job. His sole function is to anchor the film in coincidence, constantly appearing in the wrong place at the right time throughout the picture. Both the film and its lead would have done better without him. What clicks is when the focus is on Lucy, aided and abetted by her musical mates, checking items off her list. Remember Mindy Cohn, Natalie Green on TV’s The Facts of Life? She’s all grown up and never better than as the cello-playing cohort who vicariously rekindles her 25 year marriage thanks to her friend’s forays. The overall good-natured feel of the presentation and the star’s captivating display of light comedy keep things moving when the direction direction by the Brothers Riedell, Chris and Nick, gets sluggish.
