Plot: Herbie’s (starring as himself) rescuer is none other than Maggie Peyton (LOHAN), a third generation member of a legendary NASCAR family. Racing is deep in Maggie’s blood, but she has been forbidden from pursuing her dreams by her overprotective father and NASCAR champ Ray Peyton, Sr. (MICHAEL KEATON) and, instead, is about to begin a career at ESPN. Ray does offer to buy Maggie a car for college graduation, but takes her to the junkyard to pick out her gift. Maggie has her eye on something sporty, yet a certain rusty, banged-up, ’60s-era white Volkswagen Beetle keeps vying for her attention, revealing that whatever he lacks in the engine compartment, he makes up for with personality. Much to her surprise, Maggie leaves the lot with a smoke-spewing Herbie—who she soon discovers is no ordinary auto, but a charmed car who will literally help her shift the course of her life. Soon, with a little help from his new friends, Herbie is stronger, faster and Herbie-er than ever, as he and Maggie become partners in a hilarious quest to make the world believe in

As family films go, Herbie: Fully Loaded is adequate fare. Children will probably enjoy it and most parents will be able to tolerate it. It's a breezy affair that doesn't overstay its welcome, and there are plenty of '80s songs on the lively soundtrack. I suppose Herbie has some nostalgic appeal, but the main draw will be to a new generation.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
The movie is pretty cornball. Little kids would probably enjoy it, but their older brothers and sisters will be rolling their eyes, and their parents will be using their iPods.  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
The result is, predictably, a mishmash of slapstick, action, romance, domestic comedy and feel-good feminist fantasy that will probably satisfy none of its targeted constituencies, particularly as it’s so flatly directed by Angela Robinson, who was earlier responsible for the screechingly unfunny “D.E.B.S.” C--Frank Swietek
Still, Herbie: Fully Loaded isn't painful, and, considering the possibilities, that's saying a lot. Consider it the movie version of comfort food. B---Robert Denerstein
Will Disney -- can Disney -- market Herbie to a new generation that skipped the recent Benji and seems to require heavier doses of computer-generated images in its live comedies? You'd better believe they're hoping. --Ed Blank
Herbie: Fully Loaded has its moments, but really should have been just a little cleverer in its gags if it wanted to appeal to anyone but kids. Still, if you typically like live-action Disney fare, you may find it all innocuous fun, but as a film, there is little more to it that regurgitated themes from the previous films wrapped around music video style montages all meant to make you tap your toes and have a reasonably enjoyable time.  --Vince Leo (Qwipster.net)

| Younger kids and Lindsay Lohan fans should fall hard for “Herbie Fully Loaded.” It’s a silly, fun, non-offensive, fluffball of a movie, perfect for summer matinee viewing. B- --Rebecca Murray
That probably sounds a little silly coming from an often cynical movie critic, but "Herbie: Fully Loaded" was such a gas -- and such a pleasant surprise -- that I'm happy to get in the spirit.  --Rob Blackwelder
The movie? Oh, it's fine. Harmless, witless, unoriginal, uninventive, mildly entertaining and not liable to do any permanent damage to anyone who watches it. Remember, the movie didn't get made because someone had a great story in mind, or a great scriptalready hashed out. It got made because someone at Disney figured they could make a few bucks by reviving an old character. It's exactly as good as you'd expect a movie like that to be. C+--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
Loaded with fun.  --Clyde Ayles
