The Corner Penthouse

Paramount Pictures recently released the Ladybugs (1992) MOD Recorded Blu-ray. Read on to find out more about it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

Chester Lee (Rodney Dangerfield) is a salesman looking for a little respect...and a big job promotion. To impress his boss, Chester becomes the coach of the company-sponsored girls' soccer team, the Ladybug. But when Chester and his assistant coach Julie Benson (Jackee) see their woefully unskilled players, they realize the Ladybugs are going to get squashed! Chester decides the team needs a girl who plays like a boy, so he secretly enlists his fiancee's son, Matthew (Jonathan Brandis), to become Martha, the Ladybugs' newest member. With his hare-brained plan in place, Chester figures he has a shot at winning the championship and saving his career... or losing everything!

[ NOTES ]

Ladybugs (1992) is available on Blu-ray (MOD Recorded BD-R), Blu-ray (Pressed Disc), and DVD. If you want a pressed disc, you'll need to pick up the older release, which uses the same disc master as this new MOD disc that I'm reviewing. Either way, this is a classic Dangerfield comedy that I loved when I was a teenager. I watched the VHS constantly, and I'm happy to finally have this film in high definition. I just wish there were more extras here, such as some of the vintage EPK material that is sitting in a vault somewhere.

As an FYI: The release I'm reviewing is a Manufacture On Demand Recorded Blu-ray, not a factory-pressed disc. If online artwork and the case spine says "Blu-ray Disc" in plain text, it's a BD-R recorded disc. If it has a Blu-ray logo, it's a factory-pressed disc. If you have the disc in hand, a purple bottom is a recorded disc, and a silver bottom is a pressed disc. It is said that factory-pressed discs last longer than recorded discs, aside from those made by Warner Brothers in the late 2000s. I don't know if that's true, but if it matters to you, I'm letting you know.
