It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Should I mark this as containing spoilers? Because the title of this review is the entire premise of the film. People with conical heads arrive on Earth, then they speak and move weirdly. The joke feels very stretched by the end of the film. There is a bit of variation from this, mainly in the form of an overzealous immigration official. However, this feels tacked on for the purposes of the plot, the main premise is FUNNY PEOPLE FUNNY TEETH NOW YOU WILL LAUGH! WEIRD NASALLY SCREECHING! ENGAGE HUMOUR AND LAUGH! Looking at the other reviews, some people enjoyed this film. You might too. Just be aware most of the humour is Dan Aykroyd's character being an alien.

Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymatt Conehead (Jane Curtin) are aliens from Remulak scouting for an invasion when they're shot down by an American fighter jet. They crash in the waters off NYC. Beldar fixes appliances for Otto (Sinbad). Prymatt has a surprise coming. They get fake identities Donald R. DeCicco and Mary Margaret DeCicco. INS agent Gorman Seedling (Michael McKean) and his weasel underling Eli Turnbull (David Spade) are after the fake IDs. Years later, the Coneheads are in suburbia. Seedling is up for nomination but his failed capture of the Coneheads is still holding him back. Connie Conehead (Michelle Burke) starts dating Ronnie Bradford (Chris Farley).The Conehead skit works best as a suburban family with a frustrated teen. It doesn't really need the prequel and the first act is unnecessary. The montage is perfectly good at delivering the origin story. The Seedling story is there to ramp up the unnecessary drama. I have a bit of fun seeing the old SNL people. Dan and Jane extend their SNL performance without giving much more. Michelle Burke is fine as the younger Conehead but she needs more comedic charisma. This could have been a fun teen comedy but she's not big enough and Farley is doing too much. He's not the only one doing too much. The point of the skit is the humor of seeing normal suburbanites not noticing the outrageous antics of the Coneheads. The other characters shouldn't be competing against Beldar and Prymatt. The story doesn't have enough heart. The jokes aren't hitting that hard and ultimately, that's what is holding it back. It's the not the worst SNL but that's not saying much.

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!

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.
