Excess Baggage [DVD]

A small film, not well known but really enjoyable. It's different and quirky as are the characters. Alicia Silverstone plays a young girl faking a kidnapping to get attention from her uninterested father but Benicio Del Toro unwittingly chooses her car - with her locked in the boot - to steal. This then leads to a series of misadventures. Christopher Walken is at his usual finest!

Love this film! Alicia Silverstone is fab as Emily, who stages her own kidnapping but then her car gets stolen for real with her in the boot!Benicio del toro is excellent as Vincent the car theif. Before long the two of them team up. Brilliant film. Great soundtrack too!

I suppose you have like alicia silverstone, but I do, and also Benicio Del Toro, but again I do - they make a great double-act and this is an enjoyable film, with a twisty plot, dumb and dumber hench-men and hit-men and a happy ending for all. If you like semi-romatic comedy thrillers this is a must.

It seems an odd pairing, but I think the two stars jelled quite nicely. Christopher Walken, as always, the most interesting and watchable character, adding his usual dry hilarity to the odd situations presented in this movie.

When I bought this DVD I knew nothing about the film except that the cast seemed promising with Benicio del Toro and Christopher Walken starring alongside Alicia Silverstone. The story about an attention seeking teenager staging her own kidnapping, only to find herself trapped in the boot of her car when it is stolen and driven away, was also rather intriguing.And the film proved to be very enjoyable indeed with it's many twists and turns. There are a few real laugh out loud moments as Del Toro, the young car thief and unwitting kidnapper, has his hands full with the very plucky Silverstone. And when Walken appears on the scene, the plot thickens and it becomes impossible to know who is playing whom, and why.It's not the greatest film ever made, especially the filming locations aren't as exciting as they could be (apparently most of the film was shot in British Columbia), and it's and definitely not your average romcom, but it's great fun all the same. If you are intrigued by the story, or if you like the actors involved, chances are you'll find something to like about it.

Saw this movie years ago and never had a chance to get it until now. Its a really good movie.

👍

When I first came across this DVD I wasn`t sure about it at all.From the cover I expected another one of those mindless romances but was pleased to say I found this film entertaining and well acted with a fresh approach to the story of a kidnapping.

デルトロ好きな女性は、観て損はないと思います。中肉高背の時代のデルトロの「ラブコメ」です。内容はともかく、俳優陣の演技が最高です。C・ウォーケン、歌手でもあるハリー・コニック.JRも出ています。

深夜にTVでこれを見てベニチオデルトロのファンになったのですが…今見返しても面白いです!個人的には一つ一つのセリフやシーンに無駄がなくて良く出来たコメディだと思います。相棒役で何故か出演のハリーコニックJを始め脇役のキャラクターも皆イイです。高い評価を得る大作ではないかもしれませんが隠れた傑作だと思います。これを見ている人は真のデルトロファンと言えるでしょう。女子高生に振り回されるダメ男っぷりに母性本能をくすぐられます。コワもての役が続いたり今はすっかり英雄のゲバラな彼ですがこういう演技もきっちり出来るんですね。彼のコメディがもっと見たいです。

最近のベニチオはビジュアル的にちょっと…なので、友達にファンだと言うと不思議がられますが、このベニチオは子犬みたいで、かわいいです。あと声も特徴的でいいです。ストーリー的には皆さんも書かれてるようにベタですが、気楽に見れるので、ベニチオに集中できます。そんな中、気になるのはアリシアの体型です。

Ich hatte den Film bisher nur auf Videokassette, wollte ihn nun aber auf DVD.Die Handlung ist nicht wahnsinnig spektakulär, aber Alicia Silverstone ist super und Benicio del Toro wegen diesen Films einer meiner Lieblingsschauspieler.Für etwas seichtere Unterhaltung eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

アリシア・シルヴァーストーンのファンなので購入。アリシア・シルヴァーストーンの役どころ(性格)にイラつきます。他の役者さんは素敵なのにもったいない映画。
