The Love Bug DVD 1999
The first of the Herbie series, this is a must for Herbie fans, even if just for the nostalgia element. The cast includes Dean Jones, the has-been racer, Buddy Hackett (the comedy element), Michelle Lee (the romance element), and David Tomlinson as the baddie: And sorry- I forgot beetle car Herbie. All play their roles convincingly despite the addage "never act with animals, kids or beetle cars". Sure, the stunts, back-projections and other trick photography are less than convincing compared with what the studios can produce digitally nowadays.
However you can't beat the formula of Herbie endearing himself to new owner- racing success- Owner turns back on Herbie- Reconciliation- miraculous win again despite dirty tricks. I enjoyed it although our youngsters did find it a bit slow. A good buy!
