Buy This Item Coneheads by Paramount  Available from Amazon  $14.95  on 11-15-2008     This is a comic classic. I've seen Coneheads too many times to count and it never gets old. Its pretty funny and clever you really cant help but love them pointy-headed aliens! Reader Reviews Graduating characters from sketches on Saturday Night Live to a feature-length movie is not new; but the timing was fascinating for the big-screen reprise of the family from the planet Remulak. Released in 1993, it seemed like the period of comedic relevance had passed by Beldar (Dan Akyroyd), Prymaat (Jane Curtin) and Connie (Michelle Burke). But armed with a neat movie tie-in with Subway, cameo appearances by many past SNL cast members and a script heavy in cartoonish skits, Coneheads was clearly pointed in the direction of a fun romp. Michael McKean and David Spade are the stumbling and bumbling antagonists, in their roles as officials of Immigration and Naturalization Services. There is a good dossage of special effects, but the monster, Garthok, steals the show in all of its low-grade madness. The main characters may have lost a bit of their edge from SNL, but that isn't the point; Coneheads keeps it light with laughs, while not taking itself too seriously.
