Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A different way of telling a story

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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.

Two aliens with pointed heads, who are meant to be enslaving Earth, instead crash-land and decide to pretend they are citizens of America. The biggest enemy of the visitors is an immigration agent who cares not whether they are intergalactic or terrestrial aliens, so long as they are not meant to be working in America. The decision of the Coneheads to integrate in American society is enhanced further when the female agent is delivered of a baby girl, whom they want to be accepted as an ordinary American child. How do people with pointed heads and three rows of teeth attempt to "fit in" with those around them (especially when their daughter becomes a teenager who must compete with the rules of her peers)? An extremely well written, funny and even heart-warming film. Worth watching time and again, because something new will strike the viewer with every re-watching. Fantastic performances from many talented actors. Watch out for the fireworks display, the birth, the diving and the flash photography scenes. Excellent. Watch and enjoy.

I literally laughed at the thought of Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin were putting on such a high pitched alien voice. They were good but it got literally annoying throughout the film. Lucky enough, Michelle Burke who played the daughter used her own nice voice so it wouldn't be quite irritating for all of them to use that silly voice.I was so thrilled to see Chris Farley among the other SNL stars! It was too bad that his character and Connie didn't make love properly as she kept sucking his lips like a vacuum cleaner. I really thought the writers should've rethought the whole movie because some of the ways the 'aliens' make, they actually would make you cringe and feel disgusted after. If you care to see a OK but messed up movie, be my guest!

The Coneheads is one of the best SNL films that have been made so far. Although i have read quite a few positive reviews I also read a lot of hateful, negative ones and I gotta say I just don't get why. The story of Beldar and Prymaat crash landing while on a scouting mission of our primitive planet and getting marooned here lead to some good times and a lot of laughs. The interesting thing about this film is that it also has heart and it shows us that even if ur an illegal immigrant from the planet Remulak u can still have a piece of the American dream. It's about family (a rather odd family sure) but one that sticks together and cares for one another becoming Americans in the process. You should enjoy some great cameos from past SNL members along with quite of few other well known comedians, each one adding their own charm and talents to the project. All in all it's tough to make a five minute comedy sketch into a feature length film and that's why many of the SNL movies aren't all that great or memorable even. Coneheads is different, it has some good lines and brilliant comedians sure, but it also has.a story that adds depth and character to the seemingly robot like, pointy headed out of towners we knew from the 70s ground breaking sketch comedy icon known as Saturday Night Live.
