(Charles Marti... read more read more...n Smith) and Pete (Stephan W. Burns) want to enter their supernatural car in a special, high-stakes race in Brazil. And so they set off driving with that goal in mind. Along the way the car ends up in a bullring playing the role of matador, the best of several incongruous adventures. Most audiences will still favor The Love Bug, the 1969 hit that spawned this third sequel. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    This is the corniest and least funny of Disney's Love Bug series.

    This is similar to the first, if you liked that you'll love this to.

    Tedious kid's stuff in which the living VW beetle goes south of the border and has a series of unfunny misadventures. Anyone over the age (or IQ) of 8 shouldn't bother.

    I was heartbroken when I found out the "real" Herbie was just an inanimate prop. Thanks Disney, for the memories.

A cheerful, four-cylinder children's movie, though its car jokes aren't good for much mileage. Full Review

It's not surprising that they haven't got around to changing the plot formula, only the scenery. Full Review
