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:
Good family movie and continuation of the series 
2008-05-30 - As a kid, I loved the Herbie movies, and so I saw this when it first came out in 2005. I highly enjoyed it, and I felt like they stayed true to the character (as much as you can for a car). Highly recommended for families, Volkswagen fans, and kids of all ages.
Highly Recommended!
2007-08-19 - This movie is well worth watching. I have the original four classics and thought they were great. I don't own this one yet but this movie is well worth adding to the collection!
Great Movie
2007-03-30 - This movie is awesome. My older sister has it, so everytime I go to visit her I have to watch Herbie. Finally I decided I would get my own DVD of Herbie. It just came today, so I was very excited. The Music video of Lindsay is cool. Lindsay looks really good. This movie is so fun to watch. I recommend it to anyone. It's worth all the money. You will love it.
Fun Movie!
2007-03-19 - We've owned this since it first came out & we love it. It's a movie that parents & kids can watch together. It's perfect for older kids who are 'too grown up' (lol!) for cartoons and yet whom you don't want watching movies with cursing & adult content. Great music, we have the soundtrack too.
Go Herbie! 
2007-02-11 - Lindsay Lohan fans, beware! If you are looking for a film in a "Mean Girls" style, don't go for it. However, if you like Disney's well-known manner of creating family-friendly films, you've got the right title.
"Herbie: Fully Loaded" is a remake of the popular film serial from the '70s about Herbie, a fast VW Beetle with a mind (and attitude!) of its own. However, in the 21st century, he's at the junk yard, too old-fashioned to be driven. There he sees Maggie (Lindsay Lohan), an ex-street racer, who is looking for a cheap vehicle to buy. She buys Herbie, and when she finds out about their common interest, the fun begins!
This film is a candy for kids and adults alike. It's not as sterile as "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" (another Lindsay Lohan-Disney collaboration, and not a very succesful one), but it's not nearly as sassy as "Mean Girls", either! It's a movie about friendship, love... and how a VW beetle can be a regular Cinderella!
