What to Know

Critics Consensus

Listless, crude, and overall uninspired, Coneheads offers further evidence that stretching an SNL sketch to feature length can be tougher than narfling a garthok.

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Duane Byrge Hollywood Reporter Can you inflate a gimmick-driven comedy skit into a full-fledged feature film? Up to a point. May 16, 2008 Full Review Leonard Klady Variety A sweet, funny anarchic pastiche that should find broad based popularity. May 16, 2008 Full Review Marilynne S. Mason Christian Science Monitor Aykroyd's comedy is extreme and bizarre, sometimes even gross, but often endearing and rich in amusing parody of contemporary American society. Mar 27, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It ultimately fails because it lacks sufficient satire or an edge. Rated: C May 22, 2015 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media So-so '90s movie based on '70s SNL sketch has edgy humor. Rated: 2/5 Jun 24, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Carlos I Is this this great cinema, or lasting comedy? Of course not, but I still have a blast with it. It's a window into the early 90s landscape of comedy. A silly as hell expansion of an SNL sketch. That should tell you everything you need to know. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Cristian C A fun comedy to pass the time, it is an underrated masterpiece, quite unique and simple. I bought it for my collection on GoogleTV and I don't want it to disappear. Furthermore, the battle with Garthok is a conceptual definition for the science fiction cinema of that time, which makes me value it for its aesthetic resemblance to the monsters of Star Wars. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Jeffrey M Coneheads is a bad movie. I haven't watched the SNL skit, but if I had I would probably give this a lower score. Coneheads is supposed to be a comedy, but it doesn't have a trace of humor. I thought Chris Farley is really good as Ronnie and that is the only character I really liked. This movie is kind of like My Favorite Martian, it's an alien movie and it's boring.What a bad movie. I give this a 47%. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review TheMonoxideChild It was a charming film, the comedy can be hit or miss if it's not your taste but it's not a bad movie by any means Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/23 Full Review Jamie M It's shocking how people can't see a fun, zany movie for what it is. Films don't have to be compellingly moving to be great. This is a cinematic classic with lots of fun moments that represents a time when movies could simply be goofy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Love this movie, allstar cast many funny moments, blunt skull critics have NO IDEA what their talking about Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
