Dan Aykroyd brings one off his crazy S.N.L Characters to life on the big screen. "The Coneheads "are a bunch of brainless aliens that land on earth and try to fit in. Apart from their obvious physical differences and their interaction and comprehension of everyday people and objects, they manage to stay incognito on our planet. This is completely unbelievable which adds to the humor.

Vacuums, Toilet paper, Dust Busters, VCR's and even running shoes are tools of slapstick and rib tickling humor.
The situation humor is limitless. High-school, convenience stores, malls, taxi cabs, you name it they put it in and made it funny. The simple fact that it takes place in the 80's adds to the chuckles because it show us what humans look like from a different point of view and in the 80's, we were at a peek of " What Were We Thinking ?".

This is an excellent no brainer that the whole family from six year olds to sixty year olds can enjoy. It is tasteless in areas but contains no violence, little cursing and no nudity.
I also recommend this movie for people who want to see now famous people before they became stars, like Adam Sandler and Drew Carrie. Sometimes it's just fun to look back.
" The Coneheads." is everything " Mars Attacks." should have been and more.
