Love Bug The (WS)

A classic Disney film for the entire family to enjoy

One of those feel good movies from my youth. Back when Disney made good wholesome movies instead of whatever they are trying now. Rated G and fun to watch for any age.

Good old fashion movie. We should of kept making movie like this. The world would be a better place.

The movie is fun and cute, but getting a little dated. Sexual harassment in the workplace today in the Me-Too era was common back then and we just put up with it. We had to. But set that aside, the performances are nice and it's fun to see Herbie win the day. Love David Tomlinson's villain with motor oil on his face.

What if things really do have an inner life? What if the machines we take for granted as being under our control have an essence, a life force, a soul that needs only to be cultivated to be brought out into the open?Mystic-minded hippie-type Tennessee Steinmetz (Buddy Hackett) argues that this is the case when his roommate, down-on-his-luck race driver Jim Douglas (Dean Jones) acquires a Volkswagen Beetle that frequently refuses to comply with its driver's demands. Tennessee claims that the car is alive, and names it Herbie. Jim doesn't believe this for a second, but that doesn't stop him from using the car's unusual speed to bring success to his previously undistinguished racing career. Meanwhile, Peter Thorndyke (David Tomlinson), the snobbish and hot-tempered owner of the dealership where Douglas bought the car, is having fits over Douglas' inexplicable winning streak. A race driver himself, Thorndyke becomes Jim's (and Herbie's) primary rival, resorting to increasingly sneaky tactics to prevail on the racetrack. Jim believes his own driving skill deserves the credit for his newfound success, but finally comes to believe the truth about Herbie in time for the final climactic race.By far the funniest and best of Disney's Herbie series, The Love Bug is silly fun that's still smartly written enough to be fun for all ages. The special effects are somewhat dated and primitive, but they suffice. It's not easy to make a car show emotion, but here it's done with surprising effectiveness. It also doesn't hurt that as a car, the VW Bug has a lot of personality to start with. The human actors do well too; Dean Jones makes for a likeable hero, and Michele Lee the love interest. However, the real comic gold comes from Buddy Hackett as the offbeat Tennessee, who in Jim's words is `just in off a flying saucer,' and David Tomlinson as British rival Thorndyke, whose angry outbursts are deliciously over-the-top without crossing the fine line into obnoxious overacting.

A Disney Classic. I remember watching this when I was a kid and now I rented it for my 10 year old grandson to watch. He loved it! He was laughing throughout the movie. I highly recommend it for children ages about nine and up as they enjoy the slapstick comedy type of stuff that goes on in this movie. I also enjoyed the movie after all these years although the greatest enjoyment was watching my grandson think it was super funny.

...about "The Love Bug" except that it's a terribly cute little film more than worthy of being classed in the "family film" genre. It brings back so many fond memories - which is odd on its face because I don't recall seeing it at all until just a few days ago. (I was just about 4 years old when it came out.) Amongst other things it reminded me just how much fun it would be to own an appropriately-painted Volkswagen Beetle! (This won't spoil anything, but Joe E. Ross as a police detective made for a terribly funny scene. It's kind of an "inside joke" I think, but look up an episode of "Car 54, Where Are You?" and you'll get it!) I'd recommend this to anyone, from young to young at heart.

Out of all the Disney live action films I'd have to say the first two love bug adventures are my all time favorites. they are feel good movies and are fun to watch.Dean Jones and Ken Berry were perfect as the leads for both movies.So if you want a feel good pick me up, just pop in The Love Bug or Herbie Rides Again and kiss the blues goodbye.Oh by the way, it has a terrific catchy soundtrack score too, you've only got to hear it to know Herbie is on the tv.There were also a few Superbug films made in the 70's to try and cash in on the Love Bug craze, but they are not a patch on Herbie.
