This fourth Love Bug movie is a wooden story about Herbie's funny adventures heading toward a race in Brazil. Charles Martin Smith and Steven W. Burns try hard to bring some life into this project, but it just doesn't happen. There is one good laugh in the whole thing, in a scene where Herbie becomes a matador. Otherwise, even the picturesque, south-of-the-border stuff doesn't help. --Tom Keogh

The End Of The Road
The fourth and final instalment of Walt Disneys Herbie and easily the worst and most forgetable. Though there are some beautiful shots of South America along the way this merley proceeds to make up for the holes in the plot. Whilst Herbie Goes Bananas certainly has a few bright spots, the film as a whole is a rather nondescript affair which sees Herbie the Volkswagen Beatle car, with a mind of its own, rubbing bumpers with a gang of smugglers on their way to Brazil. The stars in the film include Cloris Leachman as Aunt Louise, Charles Martin Smith as Dave Smith, John Vernon as Prindle and Stephan W Burns as Pete Stanchek. Strictly for die-hard fans of the series.

Herbie's last film fizzles out......
In this last installment of the Love Bug series Pete Stancheck, the nephew of Jim Douglas, and his friend D.J., make a trip down to Central America to pick up Douglas' VW. The movie's plot basically gets boring after this, as the two travel by boat to Rio to enter a race. Charles Martin Smith makes a humorous cameo, but by the end of the movie, you're half asleep......

Herbie literally goes Bananas
This is a lot different from the other Herbie movies, but I found it to be great fun. It is like all the old Disney movies - one the entire family can enjoy together. The movie begins with a young man inheriting Herbie, he and a friend try bringing Herbie home on a cruise ship - not realizing that a young local boy who had stolen a wallet belonging to a villan (as well as the friend of Herbie's new owner) was hiding under Herbie's hood. Naturally Herbie got loose on the ship and was driving himself around, and ended up being shoved into the ocean and the little boy was turned over to the authorities. They meet again and get into adventure after adventure just trying to keep a step ahead of the bad guys and the law. This was the first Herbie that let him show off on his own so much.
