Herbie: Fully Loaded

MPAA Rating: G
Distributor: Walt Disney/Buena Vista
Director: Angela Robinson
Actors: Lindsay Lohan as Maggie Peyton; Justin Long as Kevin; Breckin Meyer as Ray Peyton Jr.; Matt Dillon as Trip Murphy; Michael Keaton as Ray Peyton Sr.

In this fourth Herbie sequel, Fully Loaded, the 1963 Volkswagen Beatle is back and geared for action. Maggie Peyton is from a family of NASCAR racers, but it seems that Maggie's family's racing days are about over. That all changes when Maggie buys Herbie from a junkyard for 75 dollars. The little bug with a personality all his own puts Maggie and her family back on the fast track.

Not everything about this movie is fun and games, though. Herbie hits people with his doors and once smashes someone with his hood. This is funny in the movie, but if it happened in real life someone could be seriously hurt. Maggie street races, which is extremely dangerous, and she later lies to her dad about it.

On the bright side, Herbie usually uses good manners, and there are a lot of positive messages in this film. Maggie and Herbie are good friends, and they often put themselves on the line for each other. Overall, Fully Loaded is charming and a lot of fun.
