Overview

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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A self-aware rom-com that gleefully deconstructs the thankless role of being the forgettable guy who gets left at the altar, as a meek tax accountant finally decides his blandness isn't a virtue worth maintaining.
