| Herbie movies were classic examples of highly entertaining Disney films, and they've done a good job bringing back the animated VW Bug in this movie. Lindsay Lohan plays the daughter in a racing family and the hero of the film, while Matt Dillon plays the bad guy, a NASCAR champion. Michael Keaton plays her father, but not very well. Mostly, the interaction is between Dillon, who is very frustrated that he's losing races to a VW Bug, and Lohan, who develops a secret persona as a racer, since her father doesn't want her to get into the industry. Anyway, the movie is great fun, and NASCAR fans will love the bits where Herbie competes in a NASCAR race, with cameos by various drivers, including Jeff Gordon.
