5.0 out of 5 stars
Funny!, January 3, 2001
This review is from: The Love Bug [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is funny movie that reveals that cars do have hearts, souls, and personalities.
Herbie is a car with a very strong personality who decides he likes Jim Douglas, a race car driver. When Jim starts winning all his races with Herbie, he is positive that he should get all the credit for his success. Little does he know how tender Herbie's feelings really are. Eventually Jim decides Herbie is past his usefulness, and he brings home a new car, who the jealous Herbie beats up before "running" away. Finally Jim realizes just how special Herbie really is, and finds the little car attempting to commit suicide. When the pair are finally reunited on happier terms, they enter another race where Herbie's strength is tested at almost every turn, and Jim is able to completely see that Herbie is really the one who can be credited for all their success.
Adding to their trouble, or perhaps creating most of it, is the sneaky Mr. Thorndyke, who will do anything to see Herbie taken away for good. Then there's tender hearted Tennessee, who believes in Herbie all along.
This movie is funny and enjoyable and proves that vehicles are a lot more than just transportation. I recommend it to anyone, young and old alike, who enjoys fun movies.
