“Excess Baggage” (** out of four) was an excessively dull drama about a widowed teacher (Brad Hills who also wrote and directed) who begins dating a new girl (Jennifer Kairis) but finds that they both have more personal and emotional baggage than either realizes. Hills’ engaging and empathic performance is the best thing about the movie but it’s mediocre at best. Thin storyline might play better on television. No relation to the dreadful 1997 Alicia Silverstone comedy of the same name, thank God.
