Synopsis: The Love Bug is back! Herbie (AKA #53), the sweet little '63 Volkswagen bug with a mind of his own and a serious love for speed, pairs with Lindsay Lohan in HERBIE: FULLY LOADED for a sunny comedy.... The Love Bug is back! Herbie (AKA #53), the sweet little '63 Volkswagen bug with a mind of his own and a serious love for speed, pairs with Lindsay Lohan in HERBIE: FULLY LOADED for a sunny comedy. Maggie Peyton (Lohan) is a third generation member of a NASCAR racing family and dreams of winning from behind the wheel, but her protective dad Ray Peyton, Sr. nixes the idea, while her brother Ray, Jr. (Breckin Meyer) carries on the family legacy (even though he's not a very good driver). After graduating from college and securing a job at ESPN, Maggie has one month at home before leaving for New York City. When Ray Sr. offers her a car as a graduation gift, they visit a junk yard to pick out a used stock car and end up coming home with a thrilled Herbie. Maggie quickly discovers Herbie is more than just a regular car, and soon they're on their way to realizing her dreams of racing glory while battling ego-inflated champ Trip Murphy (Matt Dillon) with the help of her cute mechanic friend Kevin (Justin Long). As Maggie, Lohan is spunky, determined, and adorable; young girls will love this inspirational character. Herbie himself is as winning as ever. The movie cleverly opens with highlights of Herbie's past exploits, going all the way back to his debut in 1969 in HERBIE THE LOVE BUG. Older fans of the series will delight in seeing Herbie back in action, while the newly initiated will easily see what makes this car so special. NASCAR devotees should look for cameos from drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears, Kevin Harvick, and Rusty Wallace. Fun, exhilarating, and touching, HERBIE: FULLY LOADED is the perfect family comedy. [More]

    (Director Angela) Robinson keeps the automotive antics to an acceptable level most of the way, although pushing things a notch too far in the finale.

    Here’s my theory... Lohan actually died several months ago in a late-night partying incident and she’s been replaced by a sophisticated robot.

    I took my parents! We had a great time. Very well directed and edited to a sweet clipping pace. Never a dull moment. This is just good clean family fun!

    Between Matt Dillon's Jeff Gordon impersonation and the Bass Pro Shop references, this is a high time at the cinema for the NASCAR fan!

    Matt Dillon is terrific; Michael Keaton is wasted in a horrible script poorly directed that will only appeal to very young children, who applauded at the end of my viewing.

    It's a gateway to advanced consumerism, with entertainment as a secondary concern.

    ...but for the most part they do the most insipid, uninspired stuff. Stuff like “The Love Bug VII.”

    Fully Loaded adds up to little more than a cynical marriage of marketable commodities -- Lohan, NASCAR and the durably profitable Bug himself.

    While Fully Loaded doesn’t have much for grown-ups who think characters need dimensions or a good story requires an unexpected turn or two, it offers a nice pit stop of nostalgic memories.

    As serviceable an introduction as any to the notion of a sentient set of wheels.

    Five credited writers have managed to complete the script without a single surprise and with a couple of odd omissions.

    This Herbie is loaded all right. Unfortunately, it's with spare parts from dozens of other equally mediocre underdog sports films.

    [Robinson's] fun permeates the entire film, and it's irresistibly infectious.

    But for all this pretense toward plot, really, Herbie's point is NASCAR and commercial tie-ins.

    A paint-by-numbers script means that Herbie: Fully Loaded, despite its dying to please four-wheeled star, often comes up flat.

    It fails to capture the breezy charm of the 1968 original...ranking instead with some of its more unfortunate cheesy sequels.
