A man with a "doormat" personality tries standing up for himself for a change in this comedy. Mild mannered tax accountant Elliot Sherman is what he calls a "Baxter": the kind of calm, unexciting fellow who "wears sock garters" and "enjoys raking leaves." Loved by bosses and parents, Elliot is a perfectly nice guy. And that's his problem.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Showalter all-too-slavishly follows the lock-step school of formula romance.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
16 Sep 2005
fresh:
There are enough laughs that those who enjoyed The 40-Year-Old Virgin might want to take The Baxter for a whirl.

rotten:
Only when Williams is around does the movie seem human, true, and funny: Even in her slapstick there's pain. She's almost too good: It's not until she's left a scene that you realize the movie isn't working.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,
24 Sep 2005
fresh:
Showalter tackles his mission with energy and an upbeat attitude that makes him a winner as a lovable loser.
– Jeff Strickler,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
29 Sep 2005
fresh:
The performers are fresh and offbeat, with the diminutive Peter Dinklage (Elf, The Station Agent) especially funny as a gay wedding planner named Benson Hedges.
