One of my all time favorites.

best movie i've ever seen.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Nostalgia gripping me hardcore right now, as I sit at my boring job, reminiscing about the first time I saw this movie.I was 7- and this was when Jonathan Brandis (RIP) was all over Teen Beat and Tiger Beat magazines. 90s hearthrob at his finest. I remember pressing rewind, over and over, at the daydream scene with him kissing Vinessa Shaw- wishing that were me!Back to 2018...can you imagine them making a movie like this, in today's society, without it causing a riot? For many, many reasons....Anywho...perhaps it's best it stay golden, in the 90s. Another movie where characters didn't have to be over-the-top, obnoxiously offensive and it was still funny AF. Like the bar scene, were Rodney Dangerfield gets thrown out? Dying laughing just thinking about it. Or the hilarious clap-back jokes R.D. would say, especially against the other soccer coaches. "Coach Bull, huh! I know your FULL name!" or "Good thing she isn't two faced. If she were, she'd wear the other one!". This movie is a must see.

We all have our own guilty pleasure, most of them we never admit to, however I will admit one now. I have loved this movie ever since I was a kid. Now that I've watched it as an adult, I can admit that it is one terrible movie, but it still had me laughing as hard as I did when I was 10 years old. In Ladybugs, Rodney Dangerfield plays a salesman who is asked to coach his company sponsored, girls soccer team, but he had no idea what he was in for. The other coaches are ruthless, the parents are insane, and worst of all his team is terrible, so what is a comedian to do? He gets his girlfriends, athletic, 14 year old son to dress up as a girl and join the team. The son is played by teen heartthrob Jonathan Brandis, who I became a huge fan of during the show Seaquest DSV. Brandis was absolutely hysterical as the teenage son, playing a teenage daughter. Some of his lines, along with his interactions with Dangerfield are pure comic genius. As for Dangerfield, while he was a legendary stand-up comedian, he was a terrible actor. The next logical step for a great stand-up comic is acting, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and while Dangerfield has some pretty funny lines, he is one of the worst acting comedians I have ever seen. The story here is a unique and interesting one, in a context that is most definitely not meant for younger kids. There are some funny lines and more laughs to be had at the ridiculousness of the situation, but besides that, this is not a great movie. I gave it an even rating, but when it comes to this film, I am biased by my admiration for the late Jonathan Brandis and my fondness for this film I have loved, since my childhood.

This is going to sound crazy to most of you, but here it goes. Ladybugs is one of a handful of films that made me want to be a film maker. Seriously! I was 14 when I saw Ladybugs for the first time on video. Once I watched it, I watched it again. Something about the movie interested me to be a storyteller myself. The direction, the story, even the location of the film inspired me to start writing, acting, and begin taking film classes. Something about this feel good movie made me want to make movies myself. At the time, Jonathan Brandis just started acting himself. HE had done the Never Ending Story a few years before and was an up and coming actor. A month ago, Jonathan Brandis was found dead in his LA apartment. Though I never met the man, nor worked on any of his films, his "legacy" if you can call it that, had left a mark. His talents end on such a short note, it is unfair that his best work will never be seen. Even though he has left some good and bad movies behind, I recall most of his work as work of talent and joy.

Rarely funny and rarely entertaining Rodney Dangerfield flick that has him kissing up to his boss (Tom Parks) and becoming the coach of a young girl's soccer team that is sponsored by Parks' corporation. A silly fish-out-of-water story that involves cross-dressing, cameos, stupid situations and worst of all---lots of soccer. What's to like? 2 stars out of 5.
