Rating: C -- Mildly cute while thoroughly forgettable, the chief achievement of The Baxter is it serves to remind viewers how thoroughly adorable Michelle Williams can be, even in something this inconsequential.

Rating: 3/4 -- It doesn't take much imagination to guess who will end up with whom, but The Baxter is agreeably silly and has lots of simple charm.

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Showalter tackles his mission with energy and an upbeat attitude that makes him a winner as a lovable loser. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Showalter cria um filme exatamente como seu protagonista: desajeitadamente simpático e divertido.

Rating: 3.5/5 -- There are enough laughs that those who enjoyed The 40-Year-Old Virgin might want to take The Baxter for a whirl.

Rating: 1/4 -- A droll romantic comedy that relies on a self-deprecating brand of humor which must be a bit of an acquired taste. The film's utter predictably sinks this exercise in obviousms, making its few funny moments not worth waiting for. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- 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. Full Review

Product Description:

This quirky comedy marks the directorial debut of Michael Showalter, who is a member of the comedy troupe STELLA, and has starred in the cult-favorite film WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER. Joining frequent collaborators Michael Ian Black, David Wain, and Paul Rudd, among others, Showalter stars here as Elliot Sherman. A nice, slightly boring, neurotic, and dorky guy, Sherman neatly sums up his personality by referring to himself as a "Baxter." In the weeks preceding his unlikely wedding to perky but cold beauty Caroline (Elizabeth Banks), Elliot reflects, through a series of humorous flashbacks, on the events that have brought him to this point. As Caroline's unbelievably perfect ex-boyfriend Bradley (Justin Theroux of MULLHOLLAND DRIVE and SIX FEET UNDER) re-enters her life, Elliot must fight for his fiancé's dwindling attention. Meanwhile, Cecil (Michelle Williams), a cute temp working at Elliot's office, further complicates the situation by making Elliot wonder whether he's after the right girl in the first place. Shot around the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, and Fort Greene, this love story for the underdog evokes a charmingly vintage New York feel.
