"Men in Black" meets "Herbie Fully Loaded"

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2007)

The movie is like "Men in Black" meets "Herbie Fully Loaded." These two parent movies mixed the aliens and action with a talking, emotional car along with several other popular culture references. In the list of similarities that don't offensively rip off the other movies, but are still striking nonetheless, there is a small robot that resembles some of the skinny and shifty aliens from the "Men and Black" movies. (He originally appeared as a radio on the airplane.) The car buying scene in "Transformers" also strikes some familiar chords with "Herbie Fully Loaded." In both, the dirty, unwanted car chooses the Shia Labouf/Lindsay Lohan by destroying the car they wanted to buy. Awkward dialogue plagued "Transformers" like it did in "Herbie Fully Loaded," However, Transformers managed to use it to its comedic advantage. The movie doesn't reach the classic height of "Men in Black" but certainly builds a mountain over it's other parent, "Herbie Fully Loaded."
