Editorial Review:

Alicia Silverstone was so hot after the success of Clueless that she formed her own production company at the age of 19, and Excess Baggage was the first movie she chose as a starring vehicle. Silverstone plays Emily, a spoiled rich girl who has everything but her father's affection, so she decides to stage her own kidnapping to see if dad will come to his senses and appreciate the daughter he so blindly disregards. But when Emily locks herself in the trunk of her own car, she's surprised when the car is stolen by Vincent (Benicio Del Toro, from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), a professional car thief whose partner (Harry Connick Jr.) has misplaced $200,000 of the Mob's money. Christopher Walken stars as Emily's 'Uncle Ray,' who's hot on her trail as she goes on the lam with Vincent. It's not the meandering plot that matters so much as the funny dialogue between Silverstone and Del Toro, who steals his scenes with a smoky mumble and easygoing charm. This one is mostly for Alicia fans, but the film has got enough good laughs and low-key appeal to make it a home-video sleeper. --Jeff Shannon

- is this science fiction or what?
the movie stars Alicia Silverstone as a spoiled rich heiress who fakes
her own kidnapping to gain attention from her father. Benicio Del Toro plays Vincent, a handsome, Marlon-Brando-esque car thief that she meets in the most unexpected way. I, for one, absolutely loved the movie. I loved the movie and even though it stars Alicia Silverstone as Emily T. Hope, Christopher Walken steals the spotlight as Uncle Ray. I saw Excess Baggage a few years ago when I was still in college. Considering how truly sad the world is becoming and how frightening the U.S. is beginning to look, I think people could truly enjoy movies that they can escape in. I can't believe that Alicia Silverstone was nominated for a Razzie, for this movie. In fact, I loved the chemistry between her and Del Toro, whose sleepy looks I think are often underplayed.The concept of the movie is unique and along with a few surprises that doesn't make ...

- Excess Baggage is laugh out loud funny.!
Benicio del Toro stars as a car thief who happens to steal the car of a spoiled, attention starved rich girl played by Alicia Silverstone (who is extremely charming in this movie)who runs her very own kidnapping scam. Benicio tries to get rid of her but she refuses and continues to cling to the car thief which gets him into a lot of trouble. She even handcuffs herself to the car and pretends to swallow the key just so she can stay with the man she finds extremely entertaining. A long the way sparks fly. Even though to him she's excess baggage, to her he's what her bored rich life needs to make it worth living.
