Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

67

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

Herbie: Fully Loaded is a perfectly silly movie for a silly season that in recent years has forgotten how to be this silly.

Loaded does not address the fact that a car with superpowers in an auto race is a lot like a home run hitter who takes steroids. Herbie is the new Jose Canseco.

Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post (Top Critic)

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

Stephen Hunter Washington Post (Top Critic)

A girlpower essay, feeble in its reach, unconvincing in its execution, cute in its tone, endless in its unspooling.

There's something to be said for lowering your expectations.

Nona Willis-Aronowitz Village Voice (Top Critic)

Its vibrating crowd scenes and splashy visuals will please the seven-to-12 set.

Herbie feels modern in all the right places, with a young heroine whose presence on the track is never questioned or undermined.

Herbie is a G -- for good, if not grand.

Nancy Churnin Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

Herbie maintains a special place in the heart of legions of little-boys-turned-men who love their cars like extensions of themselves.

Lisa Kennedy Denver Post (Top Critic)

50

Herbie: Fully Loaded proves that a movie about a souped-up Volkswagen Beetle with the engine of a rebel and a will of its own can still be a pedestrian outing.

The movie is pretty cornball.

We learn about the value of family, listening to your heart and, above all, the importance of corporate sponsorship.

David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

This remake is about half of a very likable film. But in movies (as in auto races) it isn't how you start, it's how you finish. And Herbie should have kept something in the tank for the late going.

All ends well, everyone gets what's coming to them, and any 9-year-old girl who does not stand on her seat cushion and cheer has remarkable self-control.

Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)

This isn't a movie for the ages, but it is a movie for young ages, the kind of film you can unashamedly take your kids to and know they're learning the magic of film.

While you won't care about the human characters, you may find yourself pulling for Herbie.

Lindsay Lohan continues her reign as queen of Disney remakes.

Lou Lumenick New York Post (Top Critic)

50

Though Lohan doesn't embarrass herself in a film in which she appears in virtually every frame, this tepid tribute to girl power hardly represents a step forward from Lohan's breakthrough roles.

As that ancient Beetle with the number 53 on his hood reminds us, when it comes to good kiddie fare, it's about the heart, not the horsepower.

It's nice to see that Disney remembers its past, even if four decades of social change and global issues seem to have made no impact on it whatsoever.

I personally did not hoot or chortle or chuckle or holler or wonder, not once.

I suppose there are worse ways to spend a summer evening than in the company of this cast and the R2D2-like automobile, but hasn't the day of Herbie come and gone?

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

[It] will amuse kids, but this Bug is low on comic gas.

Herbie: Fully Loaded is that modern rarity, a genial, sweet-natured family film, G-rated and proud of it, an old-fashioned Disney movie to the core.
