Rating: 3 stars
Summary: VERY GOOD COMEDY!
Review: "Coneheads" is a very well made comedy, with Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, David Spade, and Chris Farley. The plot is original, with cone-headed aliens trying to adapt with surburbia, their daughter dating a human, and trying to decide whenever or not to go home. Rated PG for adult situations and mild violence.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as Good as the Original SNL Skits but it's a Good Movie!
Review: After I heard people putting this movie down I was surprised when I watched it that I actually liked it and didn't think it was as bad as they said, sure it's not as funny as the original SNL Conehead skits with Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman but it was good on it's ownright and Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin were very good. Though I prefer Laraine Newman as Connie in the original SNL skits (which can be seen on Comedy Central) I thought Michelle Burke was good as Connie in this movie. I had this movie on video and I plan on buying this movie on DVD and I definitely recommended this movie to SNL fans.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute Movie!
Review: After I read negative reviews about this movie and heard people putting it down I was surprised when I watched it that I actually liked it and didn't think it was as bad as they said, sure it's not as funny as the original SNL skits with Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman but it was great on its' ownright and Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin were very good and very charming. Though I preferred Laraine Newman as Connie I thought Michelle Burke was pretty good. I taped this movie when it was on a movie channel and I will be buying this movie on DVD for my comedy collection. I definitely recommended this cute movie to all SNL fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A classic comedy
Review: An exceptionally funny movie. Aykroyd is truely a genius. The script is excellent, taking a series of comedy skits from SNL and turing them into a coherent, well paced film. There are bit parts with great actors, Aykroyd must have tossed bones to all of his friends. What I really like about this film is that it's more than a comedy. The relationship between Akyroyd and his daughter is exceptionally sweet. As an obstetrician the birthing scene kills me. "Beldar, I am with cone", what a riot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Pleasant Surprise
Review: Coneheads is one of the best "Saturday Night Live" movies. I was expecting a light comedy but what I got was a whole lot more.

Following a similar plot to the skit, Coneheads is the story about the Beldar Conehead family who crash 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.

This is where the movie shows its heart. It could have been a movie of comedy bits but by the end, it is about happiness in a stable family, which is quite refreshing in these days of depressing movies about divorces and unmarried couples. It is nice to see Beldar be a father figure to his daughter rather than the "Let Your Kids Be Who They Are" mentality of these days. The direction of the film in excellent, setting up many nice visual gags and shots that are very impressive for a comedy film. And at times, the film feels "epic" as you see the family on the run from the INS, to moving to the suburbs to returning to their planet.

There are great performances throughout the film and the many cameos are perfect. Look for funny scenes from Jan Hooks, Adam Sandler, Michael Richards, and Garrett Morris. Michelle Burke makes a nice debut as Connie Conehead and I expect to see more of her in the future.

On the surface, this seems like a dumb movie and it has received many poor reviews. But if you sit back and let it take you on an adventure (and if you can keep up with the way the Coneheads use different words for common items) you will be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: Gut-busting incredible!
Review: Dan does his usual fine job, but the phrases used to describe everyday, ordinary items and activities had me rolling on the floor. I have viewed this movie several times and each time I seem to collapse with laughter.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: underrated
Review: despite the negative reviews, I laughed out loud alot during Coneheads. And the movie is a fairy tale of sorts...despite their VERY obvious differences in appearance & mannerisms, the Coneheads were treated as equals by their neighbors & friends, and they were able to live in harmony & pursue their dreams. Only in the movies! But, it gave the movie a feel of warmth IMO. Dan Ackroyd is hilarious, and Chris Farley's role makes me miss him even more (not to mention Phil Hartman, too). I think Coneheads is worth watching...it's nothing heavy, just a light but very humorous movie...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 2nd best SNL film!
Review: For those who say SNL has never made a good movie, you're wrong. Coneheads is one of my all time favorites(along with Stuart Smalley Saves his Family and Wayne's World). Dan Ackroyd and all of the supporting cast are excellent. The direction and script are all top-notch and very fitting for the material. You know it's good when you can quote it constantly! So pick it up today, it's just a shame Paramount can't make a decent DVD release. Trailers are cool, but the public needs much more!
