Editorial Review:
Start your engines! Lindsay Lohan (MEAN GIRLS, FREAKY FRIDAY) does the driving when Herbie -- the fun-lovin', free-wheelin', '63 VW Beetle with a mind of its own -- returns better than ever in Disney's all-new, revved-up comedy adventure! Though a third-generation member of a NASCAR family, Maggie Peyton (Lohan) has always been forbidden from following her racing dreams by her overprotective father (Michael Keaton – FIRST DAUGHTER). But she has no idea her life is about to take a huge u-turn! After discovering the irresistible Herbie in a junkyard, they form a magical team that will save her family and rewrite the racing record books! With Breckin Meyer (ROAD TRIP), Matt Dillon (THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY), and an all-star cast along for the ride, you better believe ol’ Number 53 has some new tricks under his hood!
Description of Herbie - Fully Loaded:
The simple pleasure of watching a living car squirt oil in a villain's face just never goes away. Disney, in their effort to revitalize the Herbie franchise, has made the wise choice of not trying too hard--aside from a small bit of skateboarding action, just about every element of Herbie: Fully Loaded would fit right into the 1963 original (groovily titled The Love Bug) or its various sequels. Maggie Peyton (Lindsay Lohan, the fiery-tressed starlet of Mean Girls and Freaky Friday) wants to join her family's dynasty of race car drivers, but her father (Michael Keaton, Batman Returns) worries that she'll get hurt. Instead, as a college graduation gift, he buys her a junked-out Volkswagen Beetle--which turns out to be Herbie, a car with a mind of its own. Soon Maggie and Herbie are racing against an arrogant racing champion (Matt Dillon, Crash, There's Something About Mary) and duking it out with monster trucks, eventually hoping her father's heart will change. Herbie: Fully Loaded is formulaic fluff, but executed with cheerful enthusiasm; everyone involved has clearly embraced the mix of slapstick hijinks and light family drama. There's even a handful of cameos by NASCAR drivers. The result is every bit as ridiculous yet entertaining as its forebears. --Bret Fetzer
Herbie - Fully Loaded Reviews:
Filth. 
2009-11-09 - This is the first time I've watched anything by Lindsay Lohan and I must say that I was disappointed. The movie was horrible.
Proof that some people will buy anything...
2009-11-07 - This is the perfect gift for that special someone that you absolutely hate. Wait until you see the look on their face when they see "herbie fully loaded," only to find out you have lost the receipt.
Trash =(
2009-11-05 - I do like kid movies at times, I am no movie snob by any means. And it's been proven time and time again you don't need to be able to act to make good movies. But this, this is just trash. And this girl, I mean really, where did she come from? I'd much rather go back and watch Spongebob, than this drivel.

2009-10-31 - ...exactly what we can count on from a Disney comedy these days--weightless, nonabrasive entertainment, appealing mainly to the youngest of children.
Enjoyable Family Movie! 
2009-09-11 - Having loved the Herbie movies as young child, I picked up this movie, thinking it would be fun to watch it with my 5 year old daughter. And I was right! We had a great time, watching this movie. I love that the bad guy was "bad", but not scary. Sometimes, my daughter gets scared watching other Disney movies with evil witches, etc. because they are truly scary - not in this movie. I enjoyed watching it as much as she did. I remember thinking after the movie was over, how refreshing it was to watch a movie that actually was a "G" in rating. Fun movie to watch!
