Details

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.

Enjoyable enough, would have been much better if it wasn't so damn predictable Pretty much something trying to be different than the usual rom/coms only to really just be another one. ...
