Leave your thoughts about Ladybugs.
| Dispatch-Tribune NewspapersSteve Crum"Bad News Bears" cloned for girls soccer with sometimes funny Dangerfield bits. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleEven when the material is feeble, as it is here, Mr. Dangerfield can sometimes be funny, a gravelly-voiced comic confusion of emotional insecurities laced with aggressive tendencies. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonAnd you thought the Mapplethorpe show was shocking....But then incongruity is fundamental to comedy, and at least "Ladybugs" has that, if nothing else, going for it. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonThough it’s basically a kids’ movie with a cartoonish structure, it’s laced with lewd innuendo: jokes that suggest teen-age sex, homosexuality and even pedophilia. The core of the humor is raunchy, but the tone is sunny and even-tempered. It even tries to go for a few inspirational moments: feminist statements or sermonettes about overcoming fear and realizing potential. |
| The Seattle TimesJohn HartlRodney Dangerfield has always had the potential to be one of the funniest men in American movies, and when filmmakers have taken advantage of that potential, the results have often been hilarious. Unfortunately, LADYBUGS squanders his talents in a cheap and crude comedy. |
| Austin ChronicleSteve DavisLadybugs is a clapboard of a movie, but it's a genial, harmless one. The misfit antics of the soccer games are good for a few laughs, although Michael Ritchie's 1976 film The Bad News Bears is far superior in that area of comedy. Regardless, when you find yourself ashamedly laughing at Ladybugs, remember that comedy was never meant to be politically correct. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergThe flick feels like the pilot episode for a sitcom that never even came close to getting picked up for a full season. |
| Hartford CourantOwen McNallyInstead of back to school, Ladybugs should have been sent back to the cradle, where it could reflect upon the infantile plot and sophomoric gags that infest it from beginning to end. |
