Ladybugs (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ladybugs is a comedic movie released in 1992 starring Rodney Dangerfield as a business man who wishes to be promoted at work. During a meeting with his boss, he notices the trophy case for the company sponsored girl's team and tells his boss that he was a soccer star as a younger man to gain favor (thinking his boss had won all the trophies himself). He is then made coach for the business's girls' team, a bunch of newbies and losers called the Ladybugs (the stars from the previous team had all become to old to qualify). After two losses, Dangerfield asks his girlfriends's son, Jonathan Brandis, an all-star soccer player, to pose as a girl in order to help the Ladybugs win.

Jackee Harry, Vinessa Shaw, Ilene Graff, and Tom Parks co-star. Then-Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda has a cameo, as do Blake Clark and longtime Dangerfield friend Chuck McCann.

[edit] Trivia

• When Rodney Dangerfield is in the bar talking to the bartender on why he was drinking, look closely outside. You'll notice that it is daytime, and there are people and cars in the streets. However, when Dangerfield is ejected by the bartender it immediately becomes night and there is no one on the streets.
