Sadly Over-hyped

Lack of good storyline.

Best movie ever!

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

To be honest this movie sucks. So many big actors in it. Plot is dumb. Everything is dumb. Dan's nose is all I thought of from Nothing But Trouble.

Aliens Beldar and Prymatt, with cone-shaped heads from the planet Remulak are mistakingly grounded on earth, during a scouting mission for planet conquest. While here, they dodge the INS, have a child and discover that life on Earth is quite good. But unfortunately they are being chased by the government who know something is not quite right with the Conehead family. After they are rescued and taken back to their planet, Belder is told to come back and destroy planet Earth....This was straight to video here in the UK, and it's pretty clear as to why this happened. After the success of Waynes World, every SNL sketch thought it would have a crack at the movies, and while WW had a good narrative and background story, this is unoriginal stuff, and just an excuse for sight gags.Ackroyd is particularly bad in this, and I may be missing the whole point of the film, but only one person points out the abnormality. Maybe because the majority of folk in the USA are alien, or maybe because the writers just could not be bothered.Aside from cameos from lots of other below par comedians, Coneheads has nothing to offer, other than desperation from Ackroyd, who at one time was a comedic force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.Ghostbusters seems but a memory after seeing this trash

This really is a hidden gem of a film. I can see how todays generation and their obsession with edgy humor, abrasive language,shock laughs, and depravity, couldn't appreciate this underrated comedy classic. It's clever, creative, well written, and Dan Akroyd is downright hilarious. How can you not burst out laughing when he tells Ronnie (Chris Farley)"I find you unacceptable. If I did not fear incarceration by human authority figures, I would terminate your life functions by applying sufficient force to your blunt skull — as to cause its collapse." The cameos from Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, David Spaid,Drew Carey, Jon Lovitz, Sinbad, and Jason Alexander all made for hilarious moments. It even managed to add some subtle social commentary without being preachy at all. Get your funny bones checked guys, this is a classic SNL film from when SNL was great.

I recently saw "Coneheads" on TV, and, though is silly, sometimes has pleasant gags and funny moments. It's the story about a family of aliens who come to the Earth to reconnaissance it, and soon they are adapted to the life of America and its customs. But Mr. and Mrs. Conehead still yearn their native planet, though they had done a new life on Earth. As I said, this movie has great moments, but gets flat on the stretch. Not the best work of Dan Akyroyd, but it's still enjoyable. A funny quote: Beldar Conehead: An owner's manual to a Ford Lincoln Mercury Sable. Highmaster: Ford Lincoln Mercury Sable? Beldar Conehead: A personal conveyance named after its inventor, an assassinated ruler, a character from Greco-Roman myth and a small furry mammal. Highmaster: Ah.
