Plots(1)
This charming romantic comedy, starring Michael Showalter, Michelle Willaims, Elizabeth Banks and Michael Ian Black, is the story of Elliot Sherman, a conservative, risk-averse guy who is the quintessential "Baxter" - the guy who never actually gets the girl. More anxious than ever before his wedding to Caroline, the girl of his dreams, the arrival of her hunky ex-boyfriend does nothing to ease his fears. But, this time Elliot meets someone who can help. His eccentric temp is wild at heart and full of romantic advice. Maybe this time, Elliot will allude being "The Baxter," and even end up with the girl of his dreams. (official distributor synopsis)
