Customer Reviews: Nostalgic Fun April 4, 2005 Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful Jim's passed his car onto his nephew for the final of the original four Herbie movies. Pete and his partner DJ pick up Herbie in Mexico, planning to enter in a race in Brazil. What they don't plan on is getting mixed up with a pickpocket and stow away who has befriended their car. But Paco has crossed some bad men, accidentally stealing their film, the only clue they have to the location of Inca ruins they intend to steal. Can a little car save the day again?pOk, I admit it. This is by far the weakest of the original Herbie movies. The plot is extremely far fetched with at couple of nice plot holes. So why the five stars? Because watching this movie never fails to bring a smile to my face. It's probably the one I watched the most growing up, and I just can't look at it with a critical eye. Beside, any car that would take on an airplane, and win, is ok by me.pThe DVD leaves a little to be desired as well. Presented in full frame instead of wide screen, it's a movie only release.pThis movie is best viewed through rose-colored glasses of childhood. Don't think about it too critically, or you'll find its flaws. Just sit back and let Herbie take over. excellent film December 14, 2000 R. koya (london) The herbie series is excellent, but this one tops the whole lot, it is entertaining, funny and you'll love it herbie February 16, 2009 Patrick Mc Dermott Arrived in three days - despite the snow. br /This seller has a nice personal touch sadly lacking these days. br /He obviously cares about the customer. br /the tape was very good quality. Herbie is back December 30, 2005 M. G. Hatfield (North Wales UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Herbie is the most famous VW car in the world and totally loveabe everyone knows these films great comdey by the Disney Studios.brI would recommed all the films inculding the latest film this film is the last of the classic films. Second-rate sequel May 4, 2004 Mr. R. B. Gosling (Aberdeen, Scotland) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful Passable movie, but not a patch on "The Love Bug" (the first in the Herbie series of movies). Everyone's favorite little racing car does no racing at all, and our hero (or at least the human hero) is a young pickpocket - I have trouble explaining to my 4-year-old how someone who steals wallets can be The Good Guy.pAs is often the case with sequels, in order to avoid re-hashing the plot of previous movies they have come up with one that is nothing to do with the original premise (racing). Instead, Herbie foils the attempts of The Bad Guys to steal some ancient Inca treasurs - but this change in plot inevitably detracts focus from Herbie himself (who's even had a name change!).pStill, if you've already got the other 3 in the collection and enjoyed them (or at least your kids have), then you might as well add this one too. Otherwise, follow the rule that, with (almost) any series of films, the earlier ones are the better ones!
