Misunderstood movie--well worth seeing., 24 December 2001
9/10
Author: Dale D. Dalenberg from Leavenworth, Kansas

Excess Baggage was a joy. Alicia Silverstone is gorgeous, bratty, and fun. Benicio del Toro is frumpy and totally unlike any other leading man ever. Unfortunately, this film seems to have been misunderstood in a big way, by the audience, by reviewers, and by the people I saw it with. But, it's worth another look.
