Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
For sheer inventiveness of situation and the charm that such an idea projects, The Love Bug rates as one of the better entries of the Disney organization.

'Herbie' and his plucky stunt drivers steal the show in this agreeable family entertainment.

rotten:
Such a vulnerable movie that if it were a little less sappy, one might feel compelled to protect it, as if it were someone under 7 or over 65 -- that portion of the public for which it is intended.

What this autopopathism means in terms of American culture is a subject I neither understand nor wish to.

The Love Bug is surely the first film in which the actors...are so meticulously insipid that a car can handily steal the show.
