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.

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

New York Times

Coneheads falls flat about as often as it turns funny, and displays more amiability than style.

Rated: 2/5

Nick Rogers

Midwest Film Journal

Sweet, slight and unjustly reviled in its era, "Coneheads" offers a comically sound sympathy for the immigrant experience that feels quaint now but props up the film in its weaker second half.

Rated: 3/5

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.

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

This is my most favorite movie watching when I was growing up and I’m still watching it in my 60s, I love this movie, and Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin did an amazing job and they played their parts to a T and they really impressed me with their talent and how great they are together and I have watched this movie like 300 times and counting, I have this movie on VHS and CD also, so in all this movie deserves a 10.

This movie is absolutely hilarious and the cast is A+. Every actor and cameo is amazing. If you don’t think this movie is hilarious, you need to leave planet earth. “You must knarfle the Garthok!!!” This movie should be at least 65%. Gen Z have no personality or sense of humor and that’s the weight of the score

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.
