Movie Review

Excess Baggage was boring, but not necessarily a bad movie. Alicia Silverstone was surprisingly good in the movie, though her counterpart was obnoxious. It's not that Benicio Del Toro did a bad job; it's just that he sounds weird, looks weird, and just doesn't seem to fit with the female star. The story is unique but not very comical, nor romantic, nor action-packed. Excess Baggage is an in-between movie; there's no excess space for it. Full movie review »
