Though its basically a kids movie with a cartoonish structure, its 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.

Its been six years since Rodney Dangerfields last starring vehicle, Back to School, yet his new film, Ladybugs (which opened Friday citywide) is so weirdly off-center it already seems like a relic.

The subject matter–a desperate salesman forced by his boss to coach a young girls soccer team–gets weirdly distasteful at times. The movies basic joke involves cross-dressing: Dangerfields hyper-anxious Chester Lee recruits his fiancees athletic son, Matthew (Jonathan Brandis), to pose as Martha. Matthew accepts because hes smitten with a potential teammate, the bosss lissome daughter.

Ladybugs takes Dangerfield back to his roots, sort of, returning him to paranoia and panic. Yet, even though Sidney J. Furie is a better director than hes had before, and though the producers are, amazingly, Al Ruddy and Gray Frederickson of The Godfather, the movie itself has the stale, slick, worked-over look of standard studio product.

If Dangerfields Chester defies his boss, the boss loves it. The movie says that women dont need men to be a success, then flip-flops for a final gag–involving the Dodgers Tommy Lasorda, no less. Ladybugs is like a lot of movies in the last decade: It says that the system is corrupt and silly and stupid, then celebrates its heros success in crashing it.

As Chester, Dangerfield is closer to his old tight-suit, eye-bulging, arm-flailing persona than weve seen in years. Jack Benny once called Dangerfields comic shtick–I tell you I cant get no respect–one of the heaviest in the business. But after Miller Lite commercials made him a national star, some of his movies turned his character into something else: a rich boor and salty vulgarian who had it all and flaunted it, who didnt care about respect, because he didnt need it.

For a movie that begins with what seems to be a parody of a Werner Erhard est session, thats an interesting switch. But Ladybugs–whose frowzily distant ancestor seems to be the Walter Matthau-Tatum ONeal comedy, The Bad News Bears–has that special brand of post-1970s shamelessness. Its about sex, money, winning and getting ahead, but its villains are a greedy businessman and a machismo-crazed opposing coach. (It also pokes fun at the boss snobbish, shallow wife while drooling over her tight skirts.)
