The Baxter / USA / 2005

The Baxter is pure formula, a film whose narrative trajectory is announced in its opening scene. But it is a postmodern formula, a concept that relies upon romantic comedies of past eras; it is some sort of catharsis for the decades-worth of baxters left at the alter. (And although my knowledge of and interest in celebrities is virtually nonexistent, The Baxter is lent a metaphysical relevance in the result of Michael Showalter’s relationship with Michelle Williams, which expired after this film wrapped.) At the very least, this reinvigorated my interest to have The State on video in some form.
