warning- spoilers I saw this film in the theaters in 1992 and it was good,clean, wholesome fun.A great movie for kids,then and now.It also dealt with the issue of blended families in a light-hearted yet respectful way. The death of Mr. Brandis was a terrible tragedy.I hope that fans of movies will keep his spirit alive. LADY BUGS is the story of a soccer coach who knows nothing whatever of the sport.Our hero,played by the legendary Rodney Dangerfield, is a hapless employee who is coerced into coaching his boss's daughter's pathetic soccer squad. Rodney is in it for the money, but he ultimately comes to realize that he can play a role in helping these unathletic girls with their self-esteem.Part of his strategy is to dress up his future stepson as a girl in hopes of using his speed and dribbling ability as a means to get some victories for the real girls on the team.Along the way, everyone involved learns some lessons about love, forgiveness, and self-respect. Not a bad message for kids at all.
