Rodney Dangerfield was simply one of the funniest comedians ever.
His first couple of movie efforts were his best starting with Caddyshack and Back to School a few years later which for me is his very best film.
Those two I feel are going to be the movies he will be best remembered for and rightly so. In Caddyshack he was simply the funniest of the four putting Chevy Chase, Ted Knight and Bill Murray all to shame which is very hard to do but he managed to do it.
Back to School was his best film in terms of showing his comedic talent and his heart at its very best. In terms of quality and good writing that remains his masterpiece.
So where does Ladybugs fall? It's certainly not as good as the aforementioned two films but it is still very funny and I feel probably his most underrated.
This was at a time when Rodney's comedic fame was slowing down a bit mostly due to competition from Caddyshack co-star Murray and others like Steve Martin and Robin Williams.
In the 80's he had big hits but this one flopped and I am not exactly sure why.
Surely it's no comic masterpiece but it's far from bad at the same time.
Some scenes had me literally laughing out loud.
Even if it's Tootsie plays soccer it's still really funny.
Jonathan Brandis the late actor plays his step son to be and gives a very nice performance while Jackee as his assistant has her moments.
But this is essentially Rodney's show and he more than pulls his weight.
I know the movie has gotten a cult following but I think it should be regarded as among his better work.
I think it was dismissed as a teenage Tootsie wannabe in 92 and because Rodney was getting overshadowed by other comedians but this movie is still very funny and if you are enough of a Rodney fan or sports comedies in general this one is definitely worth a watch.
Rodney only left us a couple good movies and I think this is one of them.
Ignore the reviews or the fact it flopped on release. This is a very funny movie using Dangerfield's talent very well.
