Reviews

Despite the charm of the iconic Volkswagen Beetle, 'Herbie Goes Bananas' fails to capture the same enchantment as its predecessors. Critics point out that the plot feels disjointed and lacks the emotional depth seen in earlier 'Herbie' films. The attempt to inject a sense of adventure falls flat due to poor pacing and uninspired storytelling. Some viewers appreciate the nostalgic value of seeing Herbie in a new setting, but overall, the movie fails to deliver a truly engaging narrative. With low ratings across multiple platforms, including IMDb's 4.9/10, Rotten Tomatoes' 40%, and Metacritic's 55/100, 'Herbie Goes Bananas' struggles to live up to the legacy of the franchise.
