200591 min6.0 / 10

A self-aware romantic comedy that inverts genre expectations by centering on the overlooked nice guy, blending screwball humor with genuine melancholy about romantic inadequacy.

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.
