Movie Reviews of Ladybugs
Movie Review: Rodney finally gets respect...on the soccer field!
Summary: 5 Stars
This early 90's effort is arguably Rodney Dangerfield's last truly great comedy. He's in top form in this one as an engaged working class guy who agrees to coach the "Ladybugs" girls soccer team to finagle a promotion from his boss & better support his future wife (Ilene Graff). Soon, he discovers how deep over his head he's in---the team is a disaster. That is, until he convinces his teenage future son--who has natural skill as a player--to don drag as new member "Martha" & whip the team into shape. So it sort of functions as a "Tootsie" on a soccer field as both must keep up the charade in order to have a winning season & impress the boss with his coaching.
Jackee Harry gives fine comic support as Rodney's sassy assistant, and even the late child actor Jonathan Brandis has some very good moments. Highlights: A scandalously hilarious bit in a girl's dressing room; Brandis frantically switching from boy clothes to drag (several times) when both his Mom and the girl on the team he likes are under the same roof; Rodney donning drag himself to rescue Brandis from a potentially disasterous "skinny dipping" session with the girls; Rodney rattling off some of his one-liners in traditional fashion; the soccer action sequences; Rodney finally standing up to his boss with the great line, "What good is it to be the best when it brings out the worst in you?"; and Rodney's unforgettable closing gag (I won't spoil it for you!).
A fun & breezy comedy, "Ladybugs" definitely scores!
