Movie Review: Herbie, Fully Loaded
I was first in line for Herbie: Fully Loaded, because I am a fan of Lindsay Lohan. And that goes way back to when she did The Parent Trap and Life Size. She’s a much better actor than the other teen divas her age. She also so over.
As much as I wanted to love Herbie, it was a terrible movie. It got good reviews in the NY Times an Baltimore Sun, but I think those were written by people who brought their kids.
NASCAR ruined Herbie. I just could not believe that a VW bug can compete in that race. Plus the wacked out hijinks of Herbie do not make sense in a race that goes around in circles. Climbing up buildings or flying through the air is perfect in a rally race. Wall riding the fence at a NASCAR race not so much. Lame. Damn you NASCAR why did you kill the soul of Herbie.
Lindsay was okay in it. Catch it for that, but don’t think too much of it.
2 of 5 stars.
