Coneheads

Inspired by the early SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE skit, this film features everyone's favourite conically craniumed aliens. Hounded by the immigration authorities, the Coneheads continue to pursue the American dream, raising their teenaged daughter Connie in their suburban home and on weekends barbecuing mass quantities of animal protein in the backyard. The supporting cast includes a veritable who's-who of TV comedy, from comics-turned-sitcom stars Drew Carey and Ellen DeGeneres to SEINFELD stars Jason Alexander and Michael Richards and SNL cast members Jan Hooks, Julia Sweeney, and Tim Meadows.

    The American sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live has spawned some blockbuster movies — The Blues Brothers and Wayne's World, for instance — but this Dan Aykroyd creation sank without trace. Aykroyd is reunited with old TV colleagues Jane Curtin, currently best known here for the sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Laraine Newman for this dismal comedy about a family of aliens (Aykroyd, Curtin and Michelle Burke) trying to get to grips with life on Earth. Despite cameos from younger generation Saturday Night Live comics, such as The Wedding Singer's Adam Sandler and Chris Farley, plus an appearance from Spinal Tap's Michael McKean, the characters are long past their sell-by date, and Aykroyd and co sadly fail to recapture past glories.

  • "...Sweet, funny, anarchic pastiche....The supporting cast is nicely laced with dozens of present and past SNL regulars..."

    Taking a joke to far

    This film is totally revolving around the fact that the stars are aliens with coneheads and most of the jokes are based around this fact.
