Summary: Definately a Classic
Comment: The Coneheads is one of the funniest movies made. If SNL were still as funny as when they created Coneheads I would still be watching it. The package came quickly and in great condition. I would order from Moviemars again.

Summary: bueno ! ;)
Comment: if you are a die hard scifi fan you might want to close one eye when watching "Coneheads". this is a funny movie. if Hollywood would try to make more like this without all the junk they seem to want to throw into movies today the movie world would be a better place. The cast is excellent and the antics are truly non stop. cameos, punchlines, alien mating rituals, dark humor, lite humor.....you have to see it to believe it.

Summary: NARFLE THE GARTHOK!
Comment: I absolutely love this movie and would try to catch it on one of the movie channels if it was ever on. I don't know what draws me to it, but I just think it's so funny the way they live and try to adapt into society and for the most part, humans are accepting of them. I have been looking everywhere for this movie and was so excited when I found it on Amazon!

Summary: A Classic
Comment: When this film was released in 1993 I was only 7 years old and I can't count the amount of times I have watched this movie since then. Every time it just gives me a nice warm chuckle, yet presents a very good message for the wider movie go'er demographic. Featuring some of the biggest names in American comedy, including the legendary Dan Aykroyd as the main man of the movie, there was no doubting this would be comic gold.
The story focuses around Beldar & Prymatt Conehead who are aliens from another world. Whilst on a scouting mission for planet conquest, they are inadvertently left behind. Whilst waiting to be rescued they decide to adapt to life on Earth and become illegal citizens of America. During that time they have a daughter, are constantly on the run from the INS and try to live a normal American sub-urban life.
Going from the story you are forgiven for thinking that it just sounds like a stupid comedy movie, but the involvement of the great comedy minds are what make this movie work. The adaptation of the aliens into American suburbia is the obvious standout feature of the picture. Beldar (Aykroyd) and Prymatt (Curtin) present a relatively creepy persona of the Conehead aliens, yet what they actually do is present a very accurate idea of illegal immigrants trying to integrate into this suburban lifestyle.
The film is very metaphorical in that respect, as the mixture of the Coneheads culture and ideas with that of Americans is in a sense "Alien" and represents that idea we have of immigrants moving to a strange land. Upon the birth of their daughter Connie (Burke) that American culture becomes even more Alien as their daughter is one of them, but not only that, she's a teenager.
Throughout the film there are some genuinely classic moments that have me in tears every time, especially the time when Eldar becomes a cab driver and to hide his conehead he dons a turban. Brilliant in my opinion and I think I will have many people agree with me on that point.

Summary: Pretty Harmless, Goofy Fun
Comment: This was nice, harmless fun for the most part. It had some funny, outrageous scenes. However, I would definitely not call this movie "hilarious" as I had heard it described a number of times by national critics when the film was released. I wouldn't get that carried away.
However, it was decidedly entertaining all the way through, never boring and pretty tame profanity-wise. There were a number of sex remarks and innuendos, maybe to make up for the little profanity but by today's standards this was an inoffensive film. The only scene that offended me a quick anti-Biblical cheap shot right near the beginning of the film.
It's an hour-and-a-half of goofy humor played by the same people (Dan Achroyd, Jane Curtin, etc.) who made this couple famous on television.
