Alicia Silverstone, Benicio Del Toro, Christopher Walken and Harry Connick, Jr. star in this offbeat adventure about a poor little rich girl and the car thief who steals her heart.
Desperate for attention, Emily Hope (Silverstone) stages her own kidnapping. But before Emily can enjoy a happy reunion with her father, her car gets stolen-with Emily still inside. Quirky, cool and hilariously romantic, EXCESS BAGGAGE is "the best film of the year: romantic, exciting and engaging!"-Maria Salas, CBS.
"Alicia Silverstone is a natural..." James Berardinelli, ReelViews
"Two thumbs up!" Siskel & Ebert
"...romantic, exciting and engaging" Maria Salas, CBS
Editor's Note
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. The two clash immediately, but before you can say "screwball," romantic sparks fly. Created by Silverstone's production company.
