If you have a soft spot for romantic comedies like I do—and you know you do, come on—then I'd suggest Netflixing Michael Showalter's 2005 film The Baxter. It's fairly predictable and simple, but Showalter, the silly bastard behind The State and the unequalled Wet Hot American Summer, shines as a milquetoast dud who's had every girlfriend stolen from him since high school. Justin Theroux, Peter Dinklage, Michael Ian Black, and the always hilarious Elizabeth Banks costar. And most importantly, the film has a solid soundtrack—one that introduced me to this fantastically peppy King of France jam, "Just A Body."King of France - "Just A Body" (from King of France)
Thank you
