Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This fourth Love Bug movie is a wooden story about Herbie's funny adventures heading toward a race in Brazil. Charles Martin Smith and Steven W. Burns try hard to bring some life into this project, but it just doesn't happen. There is one good laugh in the whole thing, in a scene where Herbie becomes a matador. Otherwise, even the picturesque, south-of-the-border stuff doesn't help. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - one too many sequels
This is what happens when you make one too many sequels of a popular family movie. Eventually, there's the temptation to dumb it down.

The nephew of Herbie's original owner goes to Mexico to pick up the little car with a friend, hoping to take it down to Brazil to enter a race. Unfortunately, they run into a young pickpocket, Paco (Joaquin Garay III), and end up too broke to get to the race.

So on the cruise ship, they befriend a woman (Cloris Leachman) and her studious ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Love Bug 4: Fiesta at Sea!
In his wildest adventure yet, "Herbie Goes Bananas" takes everyone's favorite little Volkswagen beetle south of the border and on a high seas adventure to protect a little orphan boy and save some ancient Incan artifacts from the clutches of greedy criminals! This 4th Herbie film, the 3rd and last of the "classic" Love Bug sequels, begins in Mexico, where we meet Jim Douglas's nephew Pete, a wanna-be racecar driver himself, and his mechanic, D.J., two young Americans just arriving in Puerto Vallarta. ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Herbie Goes Banannas,
Herbie is back in this fun filled movie. I have liked most of the herbie films but i think this one could of been better. in this film it seems they took herbies personality a little bit sour. He dosen't seem the same happy little Bug that we all know. Don't get me wrong i like it but it could of been better.

Plot: Jim Douglas the previous owner of Herbie gives Herbie to his nephew. When Jims nephew picks up herbie then the fun starts. Herbie runs into this mexican child who is a pocket theif. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nostalgic Fun
Jim's passed his car onto his nephew for the final of the original four Herbie movies. Pete and his partner DJ pick up Herbie in Mexico, planning to enter in a race in Brazil. What they don't plan on is getting mixed up with a pickpocket and stow away who has befriended their car. But Paco has crossed some bad men, accidentally stealing their film, the only clue they have to the location of Inca ruins they intend to steal. Can a little car save the day again?

Ok, I admit it. This is by far ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Car with a Personality
I like this movie because it provides humor,comedy, suspense and surprises. It is unpredictable,and also has great effects. The movie is about a car and a boy who are like bestfriends and they both would do anything to help the other. These two characters over come some of the worst obstacles possible.
This movie also exposes some cultural items as well. From time to time you can hear spanish being spoken, and you get to see some of the geographical areas as well. I would recommend this to anyone ... Read More
