The plan goes awry... 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. [More]

Reviews for Excess Baggage
Outstays it's welcome after a while, but Silverstone fans will still be in heaven - she's as cute as ever, and as cool as ever.
a series of flaccid, go-nowhere scenes featuring a sullen Silverstone and the inarticulate Benicio Del Toro...
This entertaining drama helps us see that meaningful coincidences join us with the right people just when we need each other the most.
