Gotta be honest here. I forgot this movie even existed. I’m now seeing it on Amazon Prime.

As much as I love the original SNL cast, I never found the Coneheads skits all that funny, so I can imagine I wouldn't be a fan of the film.

I enjoyed the 1st half of that movie. Too bad it loses steam in the 2nd half.

The third best film from Saturday Night Live after The Blues Brothers and Wayne's World.

What the fuck was that movie seriously lol. I watched Coneheads when I was younger once or maybe twice. I found it dreadful even then.

I remember renting it as a kid and not liking it, haven't bothered with it since. I think the whole Coneheads concept is maybe just better suited for a sketch than for a feature film.

This movie made me not understand why people liked the skits. It’s an ok movie, but it’s not really all that funny.

I saw it once on vhs. I didn’t find it funny. I imagine it’s slightly better than “it’s Pat” but that’s not saying much.

The problem with movies like this is the joke only works for about 5-10 minutes. These obviously “non-human” beings trying to act casual and fit in as if the giant cone shaped head isn’t a dead give away they are aliens. A full length film is a bit excessive. It’s weird, but “Wayne’s World” and “Blues Brothers” are the only skits that made good films. But I think it’s because they had a back story and a plot. The funny parts aren’t just a 5 minute gag or gimmick.

Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
Coneheads (1993) - 3 out of 4 stars
"Unexpectedly benign (and good-natured) comedy based on the 1970s Saturday Night Live skits. The Coneheads (from the planet Remulak) land on earth in a botched mission and, to their own surprise, adapt to middle-class suburban life. A most enjoyable family film that combines silliness with some sly and unexpected gags. Amusing cameos by a gaggle of past and present SNL cast members. Watch for Drew Carey in a taxi. Aykroyd also cowrote the film."
