A Delightful Movie

"Emily" (played by Alicia Silverstone) is the rich, spoiled daughter of a corrupt millionaire named "Alexander" (Jack Thompson). She feels unloved and in this particular case, she is, as her father devotes more time and concern to his shady business than he does to her. So, in order to feel wanted, she devises her own kidnap scheme and after tying herself up gets into the trunk of a car. Unfortunately for her (and everyone else in this case), a car thief named "Vincent" (Benicio Del Toro) decides to steal the car not realizing she is in the trunk. Upon hearing a noise he opens it and that's when things really begin to go wrong for him. Now, while this may not be a side-splitting comedy, it does have some pretty funny moments. Benicio Del Toro is excellent as the dim-witted thief who has to contend with a spoiled brat and finds out all too soon that she is more than he can handle. And while Alicia Silverstone may have been nominated for a "Razzie" for her performance, I didn't think she was that bad at all. Yes, there were a couple of weak spots here and there. But overall, I thought her acting was just fine for the part. Likewise, Christopher Walken performed in his usual high-level manner as "Ray", the bodyguard of Alexander, who probably understands Emily more than anyone. All things considered, I thought that this was a delightful movie deserving higher marks than some critics have given.

"Cute" Alicia cannot carry film on looks alone

A really lousy movie. Alicia Silverstone needs more than her "cute" looks to recoup the producer's money. The dialogue ranges from incredibly dumb to hilariously stupid. Director Marco Brambilla was out to lunch on this one. Don't watch this film, read the phone book.
