In other words, she’s an absolute mess.įortunately for her, Rodney Dangerfield takes a borderline creepy interest in making sure that she feels beautiful. She’s got braces, glasses, and unruly hair. The stand out player is Penny Pester, the quiet girl that lacks the confidence to talk to boys. The Ladybugs are a collection of preteen misfits who know little to nothing about soccer. Here’s the original trailer for the film! The girls suck, so Chester asks his girlfriend’s son Matthew (Jonathan Brandis) to dress in drag and join the team. Comedy ensues. She also appeared on Full House, Designing Woman, and the freakin’ GOLDEN GIRLS as young Dorothy! (She shares a great story about hanging out with Betty White.)īut I’ll always think of her as our darling Penny Pester.Ĭhester (Rodney Dangerfield) decides that the only way to get a promotion at work is to coach the company’s all girl soccer team, the Ladybugs. Ladybugs isn’t her only brush with cult classic fame. Jandi was a very busy child star in the 80’s and 90’s. Who does that?! An angel of a woman, that’s who. She took the time to tell me that she’d get back to me after her honeymoon. When I first asked Jandi to do the show, she was minutes from walking down the aisle in her wedding dress. She’s amazing and spills ALL the behind the scenes tee! (FULL PODCAST EPISODE BELOW) I recently did a Pretty Funny Girl podcast interview Jandi Swanson, the actress who played dorky but darling Penny Pester.

Do you ever wish there was a sports movie that combined the raunchiness of Rodney Dangerfield, the comedic brilliance of Jackeé, and 90’s heartthrob Jonathan Brandis…in a dress? Well, you’re in luck! It’s called Ladybugs (1992), and if you haven’t seen it – do yourself a huge favor.
