The Coneheads is one of the best SNL films that have been made so far. Although i have read quite a few positive reviews I also read a lot of hateful, negative ones and I gotta say I just don't get why. The story of Beldar and Prymaat crash landing while on a scouting mission of our primitive planet and getting marooned here lead to some good times and a lot of laughs. The interesting thing about this film is that it also has heart and it shows us that even if ur an illegal immigrant from the planet Remulak u can still have a piece of the American dream. It's about family (a rather odd family sure) but one that sticks together and cares for one another becoming Americans in the process. You should enjoy some great cameos from past SNL members along with quite of few other well known comedians, each one adding their own charm and talents to the project. All in all it's tough to make a five minute comedy sketch into a feature length film and that's why many of the SNL movies aren't all that great or memorable even. Coneheads is different, it has some good lines and brilliant comedians sure, but it also has.a story that adds depth and character to the seemingly robot like, pointy headed out of towners we knew from the 70s ground breaking sketch comedy icon known as Saturday Night Live.
