Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

fspappa If I could go back in time and live my all over again, I avoid this movie like a disease. I couldn't believe I wasted my time watching this. This was really cheap. The characters were unlikeable (except for Helen Hayes) and even Herbie had a mean streak. He wanted to push Keenan Wynn off the building. I couldn't believe it. Ken Berry was a wimp and Stephnie Powers was mean and cold. The effects were bad and the stunts were ridiculous and unbelievable. Herbie jumping from one building to another? Riding on the Golden Gate bridge on wires? And chasing the villain inside his own building? Come on!! As I said before, if I could go back in time, I avoid this garbage.

atomius In this second Herbie movie, the car resides at an old ladys residence in an old fire station building. She is the only resident of a block not to give in to the demands of Alonzo Hawk, a developer planning the world's highest office tower. Whitfield, a relative of Hawk's and a newbie at being a lawyer, is given the mission by his new employer and uncle of convincing the woman to move so as to demolish her 'house'. Herbie and the woman's aeroplane hostess friend fight Whitfield over the matter until Whitfield is convinced that Alonzo is a no-good. Then Whitfield and the hostess fall for each other and with the help of Herbie stop the development. This is one of those interesting films from the 70s that uses older style movie making techniques to its advantage, not yet in the fast paced 80s but out of the experimental 60s, the film has a certain quality that is quite nice to the eye. The special effects and chromakey are used well, and at points a tad overused, but it is all in all a very enjoyable film.

jtskiles I grew up on Herbie movies. I even "met" Herbie in the Panama Canal Zone during the filming of Herbie Goes Bananas. (Thank you Mrs. Kelstom!) I hadn't seen a Herbie movie in 25 years. They're exactly as I remember. These films were made back when Disney still had a keen eye on children's imaginations. Is the film cheesy? Absolutely. Intentionally so. How else could a movie about a "living" car turn out? Helen Hayes is charming. Stephanie Powers is spunky. Keenan Wynn is almost perfect in his role as the over-the-top Disney villain. OK - the flashbacks to Herbie's racing career are too long. But the film is strong enough to succeed despite that setback. This film is classic early Disney - full of impossible fantasy and magical inventions. If you have children - this film is a must.

Michael Rogers Herbie the Volkswagon is one of my childhood favorites and this is the movie I discovered Him.Seeing this movie again, I ended up loving it all over again and think it is a pretty good family movie.A weird thing about this movie is that even though it was filmed in 1973, it looks like it was made in the mid sixties. I guess it was Stephanie Powers's character's sense of style and the heavy use of sets and rear projection.The Volkswagon beatle has always had a persona to it and the Herbie movies highlight it."The Love Bug" and "Herbie Rides Again" are great examples of the child like spirit of Disney at their best.
