I just watched Herbie Fully Loaded with my two daughters on DVD after catching a portion of it on cable not long ago. I have to say, my kids' eyes were glued to the television. Twice, my 5-yr-old daughter said she wanted to cry as a result of the touching scenes in the film. I was a good, honest and decent family movie.
Now on to the critics. I get so sick and tied of the wannabe film critics who regurgitate the crap they've heard someone else say. Doesn't anyone have an original critical thought? To all the people who complain and moan about product placement in movies or "suspending disbelief" I say, please go back to film watching 101. Going to the movies is about "suspending disbelief." Why turn it on after you've paid for your ticket and taken your seat in the theaters. And let me remind you, film production is very much a business. Who wouldn't fetch some extra money for a film when making a film is a gamble to start with? Let the kids enjoy the film. You won't have to worry about scantily clad women, profanity, adult language, bullets, sexual situations or gyrating bottoms scored with pop or hip hop music. Just go. watch. enjoy.
