Cone-headed extraterrestrials Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymaat (Jane Curtin) find themselves in New Jersey after a recon mission for their home planet of Remulak goes awry. Stranded, they are forced to live as typical suburban humans. Beldar gets a job, and daughter Connie (Michelle Burke) grows up to be a typical, if oddly shaped, teenager. When INS agents start investigating the family and Beldar receives sinister orders from Remulak, the Coneheads must decide where their allegiance lies.

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.

Can you inflate a gimmick-driven comedy skit into a full-fledged feature film? Up to a point.

Variety

A sweet, funny anarchic pastiche that should find broad based popularity.

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.

It ultimately fails because it lacks sufficient satire or an edge.

So-so '90s movie based on '70s SNL sketch has edgy humor.

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.

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.

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%.

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

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.
