Herbie
As a little child, one often wonders how it would be like if he were to encounter a lively car and actually drive by with him with even just one ride home. Well, this won’t be much of a wonder for Lindsey Lohan in her movie about Herbie; her very much lively car; lively in a sense that it is alive and kicking! Well, one should not be that terrified. It is not one of Stephen King’s cars in his Maximum Overdrive, where the cars go nuts and starts their revolution against their human masters.
Herbie is not an evil car that could drive everyone mad. Although it should be admitted that it is madness to see an actual car, driving on its own, minding its own business while its driver sits in the driver’s seat looking outside the window seemingly searching for some beautiful scenery as though she were seated at the passenger’s seat. No one really knows how Herbie got his life or how he managed to lived such a long life that he still came to see Lohan’s time. But though it is a mystery, it still does not rob the movie of its magnificent wonders that surrounds the car and his driver; in fact, it even gives the film a sting.
