Review of The Baxter

The Baxter (2005)
5/10
A rather innocent romantic comedy about a nerdy bachelor...
28 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Baxters, as it's explained in the movie, are those bachelors who get dumped before the alter. That's what happened to Elliot, a nerdy but benevolent accountant. He tells us the story about meeting the girl he was going to marry and how her former boyfriend Bradley (a good looking lad, the very opposite of Elliot) comes again into her life. She is getting cold towards Elliot but she's very understanding towards Bradley and his problems. It's obvious she's still hot when it comes to Bradley, and in that situation Elliot is looking even more nerdy. But there's this other girl that seems more honest and sincere than his fiancée, but she has a boyfriend...

I would say that the movie has spoiled itself because we know from the start that Elliot is get dumped. And after we see the new secretary-girl, its not difficult for us to guess that they will start a relationship, and that has also affected my vote for this movie. Anyway, it can be recommended to all those who are mainly fond of romantic comedies.
