I believe the "hackneyed" term "the one" was included for precisely that reason. Part of the human condition, it seems, is to search for "the one," and the film pokes fun at this commonly shared journey quite cutely and uniquely. Although I do not know the director or his intent, and without giving too much away, it is my understanding that despite Baxter's relentless efforts to find "the one" externally, he unexpectedly (or perhaps unknowingly) finds it internally, which is "the meaning of life."

Although I loved the symbolism and its conceptualized spiritual themes, I admit there were parts that did not connect as readily for me; however, this could easily have been my overlook rather than the director's. Regardless, this film made me think and it was fun to hypothesize about, which is why I really enjoyed it. I admire those who have the strength of character to share their creative vision(s) with the world, however it may be interpreted is always interesting but should not take away from their process, as it is all Goode.
