Coneheads is based on a Saturday Night Live skit. That synopsis should tell you enough about it. None of those movies have been great but if you grew up watching SNL then you are predisposed to give it a few bonus points when it comes to scoring the film. I liked this movie. The sheer number of SNL alums in this movie helps it. The overall story is pretty standard. The aliens come to earth, they make due, they go home, and they come back. There is good stuff here but it just doesn't hold up.

Not without a few giggles here and there, but for the most part this is pretty meh. Watching Aykroyd and Curtin act oddly isn't interesting enough material to fill a feature length runtime. Was a source of weird childhood memories.

Wonderful, zany satire. Never a dull moment.

Aykroyd is a weirdo, plain and simple, and he excelled when playing oddballs and floundered when he didn't. Coneheads is a true expression of Aykroyd's comedic personality, for better or worse, and proves definitively that his talent works best when it's tempered by the greater creative talents of others. Nonetheless, if you enjoy watching Aykroyd speak gobbledygook fast in a robotic voice, then Coneheads is for you. Extra points given for pulling off this bizarre comedy in the studio system.

In the annals of SNL skits turned feature films, this one falls flat in the middle. Not near the strength of its two predecessors, the original "The Blues Brothers"(1980) and the recently released "Wayne's World"(1992), but still better than films like the critical disaster "It's Pat"(1994) and box-office flop "The Ladies Man"(2000). The alien jokes get old and the immigrant in America allegory is really thick, but the film has a silly charm.

There's funny stuff in here, particularly from the daughter character, who acts exactly like a normal teenage girl aside from occasional flashes of weirdness (saying "parental units" instead of "parents," for example), made all the more hilarious by the fact that nobody calls her out on it, but it wore out its welcome long before the end. I can't believe I'm saying this, but "It's Pat" may very well be the best SNL movie by virtue of its sheer weirdness alone.

What seemed to work as skit lasting 5-10 minutes doesn't transition good to a full feature.

As funny as a guy with a misshaped head. But not as funny as Mike Myers as an old man belittling that misshapen head. It's like Sputnik, spherical but quite pointy in spots.

There are so many recognizable actors in this film. There is over a dozen SNL alumni alone. However there are only a few laughs in the entire movie. The actors try their best with the material but it often misses. Overall this is a disappointing comedy.

A quirky deadpan comedy that is Interestingly campy. I never saw the SNL sketch this is based on but I thought the movie was delightful anyways. It had tons of cameos (mostly SNL cast members) that are fun to pick out when an occasional joke misses. Nothing is ever laugh out loud funny, but it does a remarkably good job of keeping a smile on your face.

What an awful movie. Here is a thing I've learned, terrible movies 20 years ago are better than anything Happy Madison is throwing out now. Some great cameos and some good humour but overall it fails as a feature length film.

A clever concept and it has its funny moments, but generally a little too silly to be taken seriously.

"If you miss this movie you're out of your cone!" - What the tagline should have been since they all lie anyway.

Chris Farley steals every scene he's in. It's hard to get too mad at this; everyone is clearly just having a little fun.

Dan Aykroyd and Farley are decent I guess, some ok jokes. Mostly shit. That said I didn't hate it.

I don't get the hate for this, it's AMUSING.

Painful. Just painful.

A couple laughs and an interesting soundtrack. I think there was a Public Enemy cover by Barenaked Ladies?

The daughter grossed me out, and it had nothing to do with the cone on her head.

Okay, this is funny. Awesome co-stars pop up in about every other scene. You people suck.

If Saturday Night Live became a movie studio... Yyyyeeeaaaaah.

Pretty cliche turns of events we've seen in every single Hollywood "family" comedy. The coneheads were a mildly entertaining SNL skit but as a film it gets old pretty quickly. I admit I enjoyed this when I was about 14 years old.

The critics weren't kind and nobody went to see it, but this is actually one of the best (along with _The Blues Brothers_ and _Wayne's World_) "Saturday Night Live" movie spinoffs. What could have been just a one-joke story is well developed and fun, with a carload of SNL regulars in roles both large and small and some impressive FX at the end.

Amusing, particularly if you're a fan of the characters.

Disappointing cash grab movie based on what used to be one of my favorite SNL skits. This movie pretty much set the precedent for bad SNL movies that were far too long and based on flimsy skit premises.
Nov 12, 2009	Moribunny	30 _15th
The only thing about this movie that sticks with me is the gorgeous RHCP song in the soundtrack, "Soul to Squeeze", my very favorite song by them.

Dan Aykroyd is always good in a movie... Even in Crossroads...
Feb 19, 2009	Garlonuss	65 _15th
Nothing too spectacular here. It mainly works as well as it does because of Aykroyd's delivery.
Jan 09, 2009	purgatos	38 _12th
I didn't know this was based on SNL until reading the reviews here since I never really watched the show. I stand by my stance that this was a bad idea and everyone involved should have known better.

Honestly, this film freaked _ THE _ S H I T _ out of me as a kid. I must have seen it four or five times because it aired endlessly on TV on every possible channel. It is very unique though, and thus, I give it more credit than what is due!
Jul 19, 2008	hank	50 _13th
Funny for a while, then lame.

Another SNL skit brought to life. Spare me, please. It's not bad the first time through, really, but it's not something you really need to pay attention to either. It's one of those movies that play in the background while you're doing something mindless. Actually paying attention to it would be a mistake.
Aug 14, 2007	TheDenizen	50 _26th
For a while there after Wayne's World, every marginally successful SNL sketch EVER got its own feature film. This is one of the few that was funny at all, it was kinda cool getting a glimpse at the Conehead homeworld. Of course, that's not to say this is a good movie by any stretch of the imagination.

It's too bad John Belushi died...I would have loved to see Samurai Deli made into a movie so we could officially squeeze every last drop possible out of skits that were funny in 3 minute doses.

Of films made out of SNL skits, the coneheads just didn't have enough to work with. The plot for the film seems sloppy and the story is all around to silly to be any good. I think the Coneheads weren't meant for than short skits. Ugh!
Aug 14, 2007	RDP	55 _5th
Wow a movie with Jane Curtain, Dan Akroyd and Chris Farley should be an unqualified success. Instead it pisses all over the funny skits from the SNL days and tries to be hip. The end battle versus the monster makes me want to cry.
Aug 14, 2007	irvinejump	85 _91st
Dan Ackroyd's movie version of the his Daturday night live sketches is actually quite good and well worth a looksee
Aug 14, 2007	svicciarelli	80 _32nd
Pretty dang funny and featuring just about every SNL alum worth seeing.

Should have stayed an SNL skit
Aug 14, 2007	fudgieb	23 _7th
Ewww. I think this movie was the reason I began to hate Dan Ackryod. I went to a summer camp with his nephew (same name...no kidding) but even that couldn't change my mind.

It's well acted for what it is, but the plot is less engaging than any of the skits on TV. Not really all that good of a movie.
