Herbie Fully Loaded Audience Reviews

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
JokerMichel First of all , there is no serious plot , and no good script . They made some random poor action movie scenes and that's not enough to create an entertaining and suspensful movie
Tweekums Many years have passed since the sentient 1963 VW Bug named 'Herbie' took the racing world by storm; now he has been consigned to a junk yard awaiting the crusher. Meanwhile Maggie Peyton has just graduated from college so her father rewards her with her choice of car… from the junk yard. Inevitably she chooses Herbie, or more accurately Herbie chooses her. It quickly becomes apparent to her that Herbie is no ordinary car as he drives her to her friend Kevin's garage where he works as a mechanic. He later takes them to a race event where she ends up beating stock car racer Trip Murphey in a street race. He is determined to get his own back and gets her to race against him again; this time the winner gets ownership of the loser's car… Maggie obviously wants Trip's stock car but Herbie doesn't want to be passed over for another car and throws the race. Maggie will have to save him from destruction once more before facing Trip again. There are other problems too Maggie is part of a racing family but promised her father that she wouldn't race again after an accident when she was younger and having been caught lying to him must regain his trust.I'd seen the original Herbie films as a child and recall enjoying them but wasn't expecting too much of this; perhaps it was because I wasn't expecting too much I found myself rather enjoying it. Yes it is obviously rather silly but it is also a lot of fun. Lindsay Lohan is charming as Maggie; she easily carries the film with her fine performance. She is ably supported by Matt Dillon who, unsurprisingly, makes a suitably unpleasant villain in the role of Trip; nicely over the top in a way that remains suitable for a film aimed primarily at children. Michael Keaton and Justin Long also impress as Maggie's father and Kevin respectively. There is another major character of course… Herbie; he is portrayed in an enjoyable way; at first appearing to be somewhat possessed, there is even mention of getting an exorcist, then developing a relationship with Maggie; all without saying a word. The action scenes are for the most part fairly exciting; there are some pretty silly moments but they are clearly aimed at younger viewers and I'm sure they will be delighted by them. Overall I'd recommend this, mainly to those with youngish children but also to the young at heart.
SnoopyStyle Herbie the Love Bug Number 53 has fallen on tough times. He's in the junkyard ready to be scraped. Ray Peyton Sr. (Michael Keaton) is struggling with his son Ray Jr. (Breckin Meyer) to pay the bills racing. Sr. takes his daughter Maggie (Lindsay Lohan) out to buy a car from the junkyard. Tomboy former street racer Maggie wants a muscle car but Herbie intervene. She and her old friend Kevin (Justin Long) fix up the Bug. Despite promising her dad never to race again, she gets into a street race with arrogant top racer Trip Murphy (Matt Dillon) as the mysterious Maxx.It's going for the same silly family fun as the originals with limited success. A couple of things bug me. The first is Lohan's constant squealing. It may be cute for some but it gets a little annoying. The second is that everybody goes nuts over Maggie making an offhanded comment about liking Trip's car. The CG Bug isn't quite the same charming old VW Bug. The movie probably needs a good comedian to clown around. This is OK but not that good.
Python Hyena Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005): Dir: Angela Robinson / Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Matt Dillon, Michael Keaton, Justin Long, Breckin Meyer: New generation update of the Love Bug known as Herbie. Family film about reaching full potential as Lindsay Lohan graduates from college and pursues racing, against her father's wishes. A trip to the junk yard leads to the purchase of Herbie and the realization that this car has a mind of its own. Story is thread bare but director Angela Robinson transcends the feel of earlier films. This is a tremendous decline for Lohan after her high point in Mean Girls. Here she takes a backseat to special effects, which is an insult to an actress who is beyond this tribe bullshit. Matt Dillon plays competitive champion Trip and the role is total cardboard. Michael Keaton plays Lindsay's father in a huge career decline. Justin Long plays Lindsay's mechanic friend. Breckin Meyer plays her brother whose driving record is about as bad the media incidents surrounding the film's star. A cast of this nature should be involved in a movie deserving of their talent and this isn't it. The car's ability is never explored but that has been a consistent issue with all of these films. We are just expected to accept the idea that this car can think. Perhaps it could have came up with a better screenplay than what is given here. It is an unnecessary update that deflates like bad tires. Score: 3 / 10
