Coneheads - 4 stars out of 10

Coneheads - 4 stars out of 10

“Coneheads” is exactly what you expect it to be.  While it isn’t the highest quality film, it is perfect for a few braindead Sunday afternoon laughs.  The best part of the film is the endless string of comedian cameos: David Spade, Chris Farley, Sinbad, Michael Richards, Adam Sandler, Jason Alexander, Drew Carey, Ellen, Dave Thomas, John Lovitz, and more!  Even the fact that nobody ever questions the shape of these aliens’ heads is a hilarious social commentary on how political correctness has taken over the world.  While it is good for a few laughs, “Coneheads” is still dumb.  The acting is about as good as you would expect from robotic-speaking aliens and there isn’t really any character development.  The story takes an interesting turn as we actually get to see the planet of Remulak, but it’s all very predictable.  I probably wouldn’t watch “Coneheads” again, but it was worth seeing once.
