Disney's Adventure of a VW Beetle Come to Life!
By a customer from London, england , 03 Oct 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
The Love Bug is one of my favorite Disney movies. A movie about a car with a mind of it's own, a vw beetle with a heart, how could you not love a movie like that. Among all the great characters are the evil Peter Thorndyke, the beautiful Carole, the down on his luck driver Jim Douglas and the best one of the bunch Buddy Hackett as the wonderfully eccentric Tennessee Steinmetz, Tennessee has a Buddhist soul and does not discount the car as being alive. Love Bug is funny, sad and has scenes that will leave you to tears, you will laugh and shake your head.- Was this review helpful to you?

By cheesekake (1280 reviews) from uk , 27 Aug 2012All the early Herbie films were just in a class of their own, and the brilliant thing is they are timeless, you can watch the mover and over again for the rest of your life and still laugh your sides sore with every film.- Was this review helpful to you?

I have trouble with names and faces, but I never forget a car.
By JediSi (301 reviews) from Kent , 30 Dec 2007Race car driver Jim Douglas (Dean Jones) has hit rock bottom. He lives with a Buddhist named Tennessee Steinmetz (Buddy Hackett) who finds a soul in everything.
Jim soon looks for a new car and comes across a fancy dealership, only to be embarrassed by the owner Peter Thorndyke (David Tomlinson) who refuses Jim's $80 offer for a gorgeous race car. While in the showroom, a VW (Herbie) rolls in that was supposed to be scrapped. As Thorndyke berates the little car, Jim sticks up for it and soon the car thinks it has a friend and follows Jim home. Usual 'Herbie' antics ensue as Jim, Herbie and Tennessee are soon winning races, much to Thorndykes (also a race car driver) displeasure, who continually tries to sabotage the little VW.
This lovely film is a timeless classic, packed with cute moments, great music, and fantastically funny lines. TLB proves that there really was a time in which family entertainment movies were made for the whole family. The performances are excellent, especially David Tomlinson (reminds me of Dick Dastardly for some reason), makes a gorgeous comedy villain.- Was this review helpful to you?
