![]() The best audiences could say was that it was tolerable and there was nothing particularly offensive, but there was nothing amazing about it either. It made $31 million at the box office, compared to The Love Bug’s $50 million, and received mixed to negative reviews. Each show room had a pearl white Bug painted like Herbie on its show room floor, and sold special graphic kits in case prospective buyers wanted to create their own. And the original movie was so successful they could afford a more in-depth marketing campaign too! Though Volkswagen didn’t allow its logo to be seen in The Love Bug, they got heavily involved in promoting Herbie Rides again. Bill Walsh is an equally skilled writer, and I think it’ll be a treat just to see them work together as a reminder of what competent filmmaking looks like. Even the most banal premise turns to gold in his hands, including his previous work on the original Love Bug. Thus far, Robert Stevenson’s direction has been the studio’s lucky charm. And also I was distracted playing Pokémon: Legends Arceus. Sorry this review got delayed, guys! I needed a mental health break after Superdad.
