Cone-headed extraterrestrials Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymaat (Jane Curtin) find themselves in New Jersey after a recon mission for their home planet of Remulak goes awry. Stranded, they are forced to live as typical suburban humans. Beldar gets a job, and daughter Connie (Michelle Burke) grows up to be a typical, if oddly shaped, teenager. When INS agents start investigating the family and Beldar receives sinister orders from Remulak, the Coneheads must decide where their allegiance lies.

Critics Consensus

Listless, crude, and overall uninspired, Coneheads offers further evidence that stretching an SNL sketch to feature length can be tougher than narfling a garthok.

Can you inflate a gimmick-driven comedy skit into a full-fledged feature film? Up to a point.

A sweet, funny anarchic pastiche that should find broad based popularity.

2/5

Coneheads falls flat about as often as it turns funny, and displays more amiability than style.

3/5

Sweet, slight and unjustly reviled in its era, "Coneheads" offers a comically sound sympathy for the immigrant experience that feels quaint now but props up the film in its weaker second half.

Aykroyd's comedy is extreme and bizarre, sometimes even gross, but often endearing and rich in amusing parody of contemporary American society.

C

It ultimately fails because it lacks sufficient satire or an edge.

Almost ridiculously funny but the daughter does not behave nor act like the original character by Laraine Newman, though Laraine only appears in the last scenes which is odd.

This film needs to be rescored by everybody who just dont get low key humour. Yes its a poor main story but its just a bit of a laugh at humanity.
