Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDan Aykroyd took his daughter, Danielle Aykroyd, to see the film being made, and she was so fascinated by the Conehead costumes she asked for one of her own. She was cast as Connie at age three so she could get her own cone.
- GoofsWhen they show the footage of 3 year old Connie on the beach you can clearly see the line of the conehead cap peeling off.
- Quotes
Beldar Conehead: If, for some reason your life functions ceased, my most precious one, I would collapse, I would draw the shades and I would live in the dark. I would never get out of my slar pad or clean myself. My fluids would coagulate, my cone would shrivel, and I would die, miserable and lonely. The stench would be great.
- Alternate versionsThe "That was then and this is now" line alternates between Beldar and the other Conehead Knarfling the Garthok, depending on the version.
Featured review
The Coneheads did not open to overly positive ratings, and it's not surprising it didn't. The plot is contrived...in fact there barely even is a plot. The whole point of the movie seems to be to make an old sketch funny and hip again, and bring together 18 years of Saturday Night Live members under one roof, and actually it succeeds at both. Beldar and Pyrmatt Conehead were funnier here than they ever were on the SNL sketches, and cast members from all the years appear including all the surviving original cast members (minus Chevy Chase).
Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Pyrmatt (Jane Curtain) are coneheaded aliens accidentally stranded on Earth. This movie goes through their everyday lives, the birth of their daughter, Connie (Not played by Larraine Newman this time), and their trying to avoid being deported by the INS. Though this film is plot less, that's not actually a bad thing. Because of it's plot less-ness, every ex-SNL member that could be found seemed to have a role in this playing random characters. The jokes are coming at a rapid pace, so even if some don't work, a minute later another one will come to make up for it. Aykroyd and Curtain were actually great together and had quite a bit of chemistry.
This is a fun movie, and for any Saturday Night Live fan, this will be great. For anyone else, this may be a mixed bag.
My rating: *** out of ****. 88 mins. PG for language, nudity and sexual humor.
