PeterMitchell-506-564364 Ladybugs is a movie you could go past, without realizing how funny it really is. A small cinema release in December of 92, it had. When it came around to watching it, in late 95, I'm glad I zoomed in on it. As always in Rodney's Dangerfield's movies, like Robin Williams adds his own lines, he adds his own jokes, and they go off like firecrackers. I don't think there's anything I haven't found funny from Dangerfield. Here in one of his funniest comedies, a lighthearted one, compared to the normal ones he did, and that wasn't many, he coaches a hopeless soccer team of young girls, one of them happening to his beautiful boss's daughter, Kimberly. And if Chester (Dangerfield) produces a winning team he'll be put in for a promotion, so it's a bit of a..kissing. Rodney says a great one liner about balls that cracked me up. I never realized how funny this movie would be. Chester who's met a new woman, and vying for the acceptance of her son (this happens to all stepdads and mothers) he really needs this promotion. He cons the son (late heart throb Jonathan Brandis) a skilled soccer player into coaching this pathetic girls soccer team. Only one catch, the son must dress like a girl. At first, averse to the idea, he's soon in a dress and wig, and Martha is born. Another complication, Martha falls for Kimberly. Certain predicaments provide laughs, like when all the girls are invited back to Kimberly's place as they are skinny dipping, or when Martha's changing into a dress, in certain places, like female washrooms or dressing stalls, or even throttling a punching ball in front of stunned onlookers. Or when Kimberly shows up unannounced at Martha's, where Brandis is forever changing, as Rodney and his much better half return home. Even Rodney, who makes one hell of an ugly woman, has to pose as a female to get Martha out of Kimberly's house. Jackee' (Rodney's work colleague) is a hoot too, providing the laughs with after remarks aimed at Rodney. Nancy Parsons, the crazed coach of the other girl soccer team who are miles and miles better, very much resembles characteristics of her Ball breaker character from her Porky's days. Rodney sends a string of jokes her way that his boss finds equally amusing. Also the intercut scenes, with Brandis in a ice cream shop and Dangerfield in a bar telling the owners their problems, where their words are misinterpreted, Dangerfield's getting him kicked out with the funniest misunderstood line I've ever heard in my life. Ladybugs is a comedy treat for the whole family. I suggest zipping down to the DVD shop and hiring it, if you can find it. If your lucky to see a copy of it in the ex rental video section, buy it. Please! You won't be disappointed. Ladybugs, a whole movie of laughs, is runner up to Dangerfield's supreme hit, Back to School.

Jeffrey Kohl That's all I've got to say! Me, and all my brothers will agree that this extremely cheesy and predictable movie is full of incredible laugh out loud moments. I could watch this over and over.I don't get why everyone has to take movies seriously and rank them according to plot and such... if it makes you die laughing, then it deserves at LEAST 3 stars. I give it 4 out of 5 stars, 5 stars would be a masterpiece, but of course this is not. It's just a fun time to laugh and enjoy.Rodney does the best facial impressions ever in this movie too. Watch and laugh will ya? Jeffrey

scoby27 i love the film it is very funny i have it on tape and watch it all the time. i just about know it word for word and it is funny so i don't know why it only got 41/2 stars. especially Jonathan Brandis he is so cute you people are crazy to only give him a few stars. sure the other actors and actresses are funny too but Jonathan is the best. Rodney Dangerfield is very funny to he makes you laugh.especially when he throws the football in a scene at Jonathan and breaks the vase.Jonathan is just watching some girls dancing in their underwear and he tells him not to strain his eyes and other places that was funny. thats why it deserves 10 stars

Greens-3 A movie with Jonathan Brandis, Jackee, Rodney Dangerfield and the stupid mother from Mr. Belvadere? What were the studio executives thinking? It seems like one big prank on the audience, but sadly it's not. And what is with the editing? And this whole Penny Pester business is a bit perplexing. She is a chunky little thing, but when they show close ups of her legs they are skinny and muscular. I don't think so. They paid people to edit this movie and obviously they weren't really paying attention, just like all people should do if they see this movie on TV. Don't even get me started on The NeverEnding story Part II.........
