"Excess Baggage" tells of a rich brat (Silverstone) who kidnaps herself and becomes a victim of her own escapade when a car thief (Del Toro) unwittingly steals her by stealing her car while she's hiding in the trunk. What follows is a convoluted little romcom frolic which earned Silverstone a Razzie nod and is somewhere on the Silverstone scale way below "Clueless" and "Blast From the Past". Nonetheless, with Del Toro and Walken carrying much of the load, this flick is just quirky enough around the edges to make it a pleasant albeit unoriginal (chop shop escape ripped off from "Adventure in Babysitting", etc.) no brainer for Silverstone fans and romcom junkies.
