The Baxter

A film with a lot of that "little movie that could" feel to it, with plenty of cuteness, charm, and slightly cynical wit sprinkled within the otherwise standard issue romantic comedy storyline. The nonlinear timeline and voice over narration can be grating, but the cast is likeable (a number of familiar faces, with Michelle Williams leading the way) and the heart of the matter remains sincere. It never quite reaches the highest highs, but the film stays near its peak for most of the running time. Good enough.
