Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

sharring-618-599158 Funny charming, and no matter how weird the coneheads are, every one accepts them.

chakawhatyeah The humor isn't for everyone, but after hearing so much crap about the film I was at first a little nervous that I wasn't going to like it. Boy was I wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and it's stupid humor. The characters were fun and some scenes actually had deep meaning about fitting in, family, and affection. I can understand why some people may not like it, I would recommend before watching the film watching a few of the original 'Coneheads' sketches from Saturday Night Live because the film references several of them, while still keeping a fairly original story. Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtain are hilarious as always and were always able to keep the scene they're acting in dynamic and funny. Though the concept is kind of unoriginal the story portrayed is. I was laughing fairly frequently...and I wasn't crying out of terror and embarrassment like I do when I'm watching just a terrible film..so yeah, that's a good sign. On a technical stand point, the writing wasn't sloppy, the costumes were fun, acting was spot-on, and the editing made sense. So I thought it was an overall alright film...not too great, but good and I enjoyed watching it and would probably watch it again in the near future.

talisencrw Though this isn't the very best movie made from Saturday Night Live skits and characters (that would be a tossup between 'The Blues Brothers' and the two 'Wayne's World' entries), this is definitely top-tier and in the best five ever made. Laraine Newman and Jane Curtin were very underrated as comediennes, and the unsung heroes that held the cast together during its excellent run of the early days.What's hardly ever talked about, when it comes to movies based on SNL skits, is how important the supporting players are. 'Coneheads' undoubtedly has the strongest supporting cast of any of them, and while director Barron has hardly become a household name in terms of movies (only this and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' really hit the radar), his prowess on some of the greatest music videos of all time (ie., Dire Straits' 'Money for Nothing', Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' and A-Ha's 'Take On Me') was picture-perfect for the comedic set-pieces here. Definitely worth at least a watch, here in the 21st-century.

Frank Patalong This comes close to outing myself: Coneheads is one of my favorite comedies ever. As silly as it appears it is full of pointed social comment. I am in stitches when this racist ****head Gorman Seedling proposes blowing up illegal immigrants and instead of being locked up makes a career because of it, when Beldar embraces all those petty bourgeois values or when puberty leads to classic generation clashes that never, ever looked as silly as here. I don't know how this film got its rating. For me Coneheads is a cleverly silly film, quite similar to some of the better Monty-Python-stuff, although less dirty or anarchic. Have a condom and think about it.
