It is not everyday a father can give the world to his child.

Beldar and Prymatt (Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin both from the TV program "Saturday Night Live") residents of the planet "Remulak" were given the simple mission to concur the earth, with its blunt head residents. Due to an oversight they're ship was spotted and dispatched.

Forced to live among the natives they had to adapt. This is the story or their trial and struggles on an alien planet to avoid authorities and perhaps go native themselves while awaiting a rescue.

I found some of their survival techniques quite amusing.

Suburb Quality of the movie Coneheads

I've searched for this film for the longest time. I found this product at many different stores such as Target and City Circuit however, the prices were still outrageous for a film that came out 10 years ago. When I searched online at Amazon.com, I couldn't believe how cheap Coneheads were running. I was a bit concerned about the quality of the film, but I have to say, I was at awe with the quality of the DVD cover as well as the disc itself. It was like brand new.

Too political to be funny

The basic idea of the Coneheads, obvious extraterrestrials' posing as humans and trying to blend in, ought to have made for a very funny movie. Unfortunately, this movie deals with serious political and social subjects, not so much satirizing as editorializing. The point of view would have been that of Hollywood, America's Pied Piper, even when the movie was released, but now is dated at best. School shootings, 9/11, and the war have put a distance between then and now. The smarmy villain of the movie is, naturally, an agent of the U.S. government; and there are no other villains on this earth. There are only a few funny moments: the Coneheads' bedroom furniture, Mrs. Conehead's method of vacuuming the carpet.
