The Baxter is good-natured, but there are simply not enough laughs to fuel this comedy.

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. April 6, 2010 | Full Review…

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. September 24, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

There are enough laughs that those who enjoyed The 40-Year-Old Virgin might want to take The Baxter for a whirl. September 22, 2005 | Rating: 3.5/5

Showalter's Elliot, self-described as the kind of guy who gets hay fever just raking the leaves, never breaks out of the Baxter clich. Frankly, he makes a pretty good case for why the sad sack never gets the girl. September 18, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

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. July 19, 2007 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

What comes to mind are TV sitcom pilots full of strain, and the forlornly perky mechanisms of old Day & Hudson comedies. October 21, 2005 | Rating: 2/4

Clearly the filmmakers are trying to make The Baxter look old-fashioned. But there's a modern smugness and superiority that undermines that attempt. September 30, 2005 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

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. September 30, 2005 | Rating: 3/4
