Took DS (age 4 1/2) to see this today. He LOVED it! Has been talking about it for weeks (has cars in it, of course). There were a couple of times I was looking at my watch, but mostly it was a cute movie. Nothing offensive for small children, so if you're looking for something to take the little ones to, this fits the bill.

I saw the original Herbie movies when I was a kid, plus my first car was a 1965 VW Bug, so Herbie has a soft spot in my heart. The music was great, too! We stopped at Wal-mart on the way home and bought the soundtrack. Enjoy!

I took dd to watch this too and she loved it. SO did I actually. I saw that it was getting some poor reviews so I was skeptical, and I am not a huge Miss Lohan fan (But I love Matt Dillon!) It was just a very cute movie-and heck herbie was in it!

I took my niece and nephew to see it. They loved it! I couldn't help comparing it to the original Herbie movies. I like the original ones. Nice to see Michael Keaton again.

Hypermom, I couldn't help but think that just 16 years ago ("just" 16 years--showing my age here!) Michael Keaton was Batman and now he's Herbie's dad. At least he's still working!

Yeah, but I don't see him enough. lol Still love Mr. Mom, Batman, One Good Cop, Clean and Sober, Multiplicity, etc., with him.

LOL about the showing your age....I went to the drive-in's with my parents to see the original Herbie movies when I was little. ;)

I thought his best alltime performance was as Beetle Juice. Love that movie!

This movie is definitely fun to see with little ones. We took our nieces and nephews and they all loved it. It made it much funnier just to hear them giggling and laughing.
I had the same thought about Michael Keaton going from starring roles in Batman to being the dad in the background.
I loved him in "Mr. Mom", too.
