Herbie The Love Bug was a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle deluxe ragtop sedan painted in Volkswagen L87 pearl white. Under normal circumstances, the interior would be a matching white. However, Herbie's interior was painted a special non-reflective grey color so the camera and studio lights would not reflect. more

An okay sequel overall, but for me the weakest in the series, 18 June 2008
6/10
Author: Moviefreak4653 from United States

Herbie Goes Bananas was an okay sequel, it was just laking the greatness that the first one brought, and some clever entertainment that the other 2 sequels could offer.I mean it was i guess a entertaining and watchable sequel, it was just not that great and needed a touch up.The things i didn't care for were,the little boy, he only got annoying in the beginning, the ideas that they added in this were not that great and made it feel a bit plain.Ill say it was entertaining and Herbie was himself which made it entertaining.So overall this is a bit of a let down for the series and could have been done better, but her they made this okay and nevertheless entertaining.

6.2 out of 10 stars
