mervclan This was the first Herbie movie I saw. It was such a good movie it was about car who had feelings like a person and this movie had a very dark tone to it which was really good bring in an evil car that is created by the same person who created Herbie and seeing Herbie racing with Horace was just great battle between good and evil love and hate and the part I really like was when Herbie is cut into haft by a laser beam which was always the part I remember ever since I first saw it so I hope they bring this movie out on DVD some year I know that some Herbie fans are waiting for this movie to come out on DVD and I am one of the people so if we all put are heads together maybe this movie will come out on DVD fingers cross any who this was a good movie and I love it but the first one is way better and this will be never forgotten I love how this is haft a remake and great job on Dean Jones having a cameo so great job on this movie Disney All in All its not an outstanding artwork and does not beat the other Herbie movies like The love bug 1968 Herbie rides again and Herbie goes monte carlo but its better then Herbie goes bananas and its not best Disney movie of the 90s like the other Disney movies Toy story The lion king or other Disney 90s flicks but its still a good movie to watch I give this movie a 7.5 out of 10
wickedgood I have seen every "Herbie" movie that is out there, and i have to say that this particular movie was my favorite. It's a fun film for all ages, having the child like appeal Herbie, who drives right into your heart. It also has fan favorite actors such as Bruce Campbell (Of Evil Dead fame, it was he who actually drew me to this movie.)And John Hannah (The Mummy) I think this movie deserved a theatrical release,for it did well enough for Disney for them to call back Bruce Campbell for another adventure. As TV movies and straight to video/DVD releases go this one is probably the best overall. Herbie is a fun character to watch and this one blows Lindsey Lohan's of the track. Puns intended.
hershiser2 And you thought Herbie movies died way back in the day! Boy were you wrong! In fact, Herbie is not dead, just out-of-style. There was no need to even attempt to make this film. The only reason I bought it (yes, I bought it) was for Bruce Campbell, but even his great cheesy one-liners could not save this film. In fact, the few one-liners he has aren't even in his cheesy style, making this movie quite a disappointment.
lorlex23 Love Bug 1997 was fun to watch and I laughed at a lot of it, but mostly Bruce Campbell's humor (either written by him or ad lib). I loved the evil bug and wish I owned one. It looked like it was fun to make, and since it's about Herbie, you can't focus too much on things that couldn't really happen (like a car still functioning after being cut in half).
