Herbie Goes Bananas

About This Movie

Herbie Goes Bananas is one of those quirky entries in the Herbie series that takes the lovable little VW to Mexico. The film leans into a light-hearted adventure vibe, punctuated with comedic moments that feel almost slapstick at times. The pacing is a bit uneven, with some scenes dragging while others zip along quite nicely, but that just adds to its charm, I suppose. The practical effects, especially with Herbie's antics, give it a nostalgic feel that CGI just can't replicate. The performances are endearing, with a cast that seems to embrace the silliness of the plot. It's definitely a distinct piece in the Herbie collection, showcasing early '80s family filmmaking in all its whimsical oddity.
