Ok, 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.
The DVD leaves a little to be desired as well. Presented in full frame instead of wide screen, it's a movie only release.
This 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.
As 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!).
Still, 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!
