Ladybugs is a bit of a change of pace for Rodney Dangerfield in this fairly wholesome family friendly film. However, in these times if the same movie was made today, it might get an R, or would be considered too controversial to be released. Ladybugs is a very warm, lighthearted, but at the same time has a lot of innuendo and raunchy humor that one would expect from a Rodney Dangerfield movie. Rodney Dangerfield plays a hard working family oriented man that has to coach a girls soccer team to appease his boss and get a promotion. There still are the one liners that are the price of admission for a Dangerfield movie, but the story flows well and the characters are well drawn out and easily likeable. This is in a lot of ways similar in quality to Meet Wally Sparks, but a bit more wholesome and in my opinion a better movie. Having said that, Ladybugs is still really funny and holds up pretty well.
