ComedyRomance

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.

VIBE

A gentle, charming indie comedy about finding your footing. It feels like a warm hug, full of relatable awkwardness and sweet, understated romance. Perfect for a cozy, low-key watch.
