Excess Baggage

Spoiled, rich Emily feels neglected by her successful and slightly shady dad, so she fakes her own abduction in hopes of soliciting a big fat ransom as evidence of his love. The plan goes awry when, after stashing herself in the trunk of her Beemer, she's stolen along with it by a goofily adorable car thief.

    In the first film from her production company First Kiss, Alicia Silverstone stars as an annoying, spoiled brat who fakes her own kidnapping by locking herself in the trunk of her car. She then gets snatched for real when thief Benicio Del Toro steals it. This dire comedy adventure from Demolition Man director Marco Brambilla is lacking in laughs, romance and action. As it plods along, only the reliable Christopher Walken is worth watching. A bad mis-step for Silverstone who, while superb in the hilarious Clueless, is simply grating here.

    Great mindless viewing

    I just love Benicio's laconic style so I could watch him in almost anything. This doesn't require the brain to be switched on but it is fun and I would watch it again.
