Its transition to the big screen suggests an idea that was plotted on the back of a beer mat when the creators were too pickled to stand up straight. One wishes they had passed out before they were so inspired.

Whether on Earth or in space, the jokes are either flat or hopelessly crude.

A sweet, funny anarchic pastiche that should find broad based popularity.

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

Better-than-average SNL spin-off, and unfortunately the best thing Aykroyd's done sice Ghostbusters.

The film itself is like the cinematic equivalent of a clothesline, with a steady stream of skits and gags hung out to dry.
