Herbie fully loaded2/14/2023 This strict adherence to formula is wearing for anyone over ten, but worse is Lohan, who displays none of her Mean Girls’ feistiness, flouncing and pouting and out-acted at every turn by the car’s subtle CGI and animatronic flourishes. There’s the early success, the training montage, pride, failure and soul-searching before… well, no prizes for guessing how it ends. Rescued by Lindsay Lohan in the film’s best scene, Herbie takes his new owner racing against arrogant NASCAR champion Trip Murphy (Matt Dillon). It starts promisingly with a headline montage showing Herbie’s past glories, descent into ignominy and arrival on the scrap heap. Burdened with a title horribly reminiscent of the Charlie’s Angels sequel, this Herbie movie is no car-crash for the franchise - but thanks to charisma-free performances from most of its human cast, it’s a close call.
