Excess Baggage: 5

A real sleeper! This movie has a nice base story line and a good plot, and had they actually put in some laughs it could have been a great comedy. But, there were only a couple of light chuckles and the rest of the time it just moved slowly along from scene to scene never really pulling me in on any level.
