Review of Herbie Fully Loaded (2005) by Anna R — 21 Jul 2009

"Please take care of Herbie. Whatever your problem he'll help you find the answer.".

- Maggie Peyton.

There is a legend with mysterious powers and a magical past. And when a family is in trouble, the one person who needs him most is about to unlock his secret: Herbie's magic has been unleashed to the world! Maggie Peyton is a member of a third generation racing family famous for never winning a race. She hopes to become a NASCAR legend like her father, who believes that women and car racing don't mix. When Maggie meets up with Herbie the amazing talking Volkswagen, the two form an unlikely bond that could send her to the top of the racing world.

Directed by Angela Robinson, Herbie: Fully Loaded features great acting performances from the following cast:

1.) Lindsay Lohan (Maggie Peyton).

2.) Justin Long (Kevin).

3.) Breckin Meyer (Ray Peyton Jr.).

4.) Michael Keaton (Ray Peyton Sr.).

5.) Matt Dillon (Trip Murphy).

6.) Cheryl Hines (Sally).

Herbie: Fully Loaded is all good racing fun under the hood, a family-friendly film that is enjoyable for them. Lindsay Lohan, fresh out of Mean Girls, did a great acting performance here, looking great in her trademark red hair and race car driver uniform as well as giving "First" as the film's theme song. She and #53 are perfectly the main stars of the film. While Herbie is LL's last Disney role, she was now transitioning to serious roles. As this movie is part of The Love Bug movie series, I need to find more of that cute Volkswagen Beetle in the other films.
