Leave your thoughts about The Baxter.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe Baxter is just an OK movie, but Showalter's performance is the gem to take from it. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaNo great shakes, The Baxter nonetheless has a quiet loopiness going for it. And it has the absence of a laugh track going for it, too. |
| Village VoiceEd ParkA sign of The Baxter's charm is that it's essentially spoiler-proof: We know from the get-go which couples will pair off, and the pleasures lie in the spring-stepped vibe, the natty throwback wardrobe, and the intricate goofball patter. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThe performers are fresh and offbeat, with the diminutive Peter Dinklage (Elf, The Station Agent) especially funny as a gay wedding planner named Benson Hedges. |
| Los Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoA tender love story and a dead-on lampoon of the genre, but its main drawback is that Showalter is egregiously miscast in the title role. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThis wry, low-key comedy, crafted by members of the sketch-comedy group The State, swims defiantly against the stream of contemporary comedy, eschewing bodily-function jokes and obvious gags in favor of laughs so sly and self-effacing you could almost overlook them. |
| The New York TimesLawrence Van GelderIn the end, The Baxter is a Baxter of a movie: well meaning and mildly likable, but unlikely to sweep you off your feet. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisA self-consciously arch work of hipsterism that's more styled than funny. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardModest and polite. That's not a ringing endorsement of Michael Showalter's good-natured comedy, but there are enough laughs in it if you're willing to settle. |
| Chicago TribuneAllison BenediktMichael Showalter is a funny man, but … how to put this gently … not a funny movie star. |
