This film is a classic. Legendary actress Helen Hayes, along with the lovable VW Bug, make this film a cute watch with a lot of smiles. Highly underrated.

This is the second movie about the lovable sentient Volkswagen Beetle. I did enjoy this one, but if you didn’t like The Love Bug then I can’t recommend this one. Once again there are goofy points to the movie and it obviously is targeting a younger demographic. The ending is really dumb, but comparable to the previous installment of the franchise. What carries this movie is Keenan Wynn who plays the villain. It really is his movie and for someone who is obviously the villain from the moment you see him, he does a good job. In The Love Bug, I did enjoy the uniqueness of Herbie, but this movie throws that uniqueness out the window in many ways and I didn’t like that.

Bonitinho, mas exagerado… A velhinha deu um tcha na história, mas muito inferior ao original…
