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 fact that this is a good film AND it was done by ex-SNL actors help this movie to really stand out for me. Dan Aykroyd is terrific as Beldar and it shows that he CAN do a decent film (and he's done some stinkers--Neighbors, 1941, Nothing But Trouble, Dr. Detroit).
As I said above, I haven't been that impressed by many of the films by ex-SNL cast members--especially when they are movie-length versions of SNL skits. However, this movie expands on the characters and has great heart. In other words, despite the humor, the lead characters come off as sympathetic and decent. If the characters had been just like they were in the skits, the movie would have fallen flat on its face. Instead, we are treated to many instances when the Coneheads try so hard to fit in and be the average American family. It's also quite amusing that almost no one seems to notice that they AREN'T! There are many SNL-related cameos and supporting players throughout the movie and they are pretty well integrated (i.e., they usually don't seem like tacked on cameos but fit within the plot). Also, although I generally hate David Spade, his annoying personality fits in perfectly with the character he plays.
This is a good film for the whole family. It's cute, funny and actually has amazingly good family values!
