A pair of aliens arrive on Earth to prepare for invasion, but crash instead. With enormous cone-shaped heads, robotlike walks and an appetite for toilet paper, aliens Beldar and Prymatt don't exactly blend in with the population of Paramus, N.J. But for some reason, everyone believes them when they say they're from France.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
This is a dismal, dreary and fairly desperate movie, in which the actors try very hard but are unable to overcome an uninspired screenplay.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
A respectably funny -- but small -- effort, a reunion party best watched in your living room, while you consume mass quantities of pizza with extra molten lactate extract of hooved mammals.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,

rotten:
Coneheads falls flat about as often as it turns funny, and displays more amiability than style.
– Janet Maslin,

20 May 2003
fresh:
A sweet, funny anarchic pastiche that should find broad based popularity.

rotten:
Can you inflate a gimmick-driven comedy skit into a full-fledged feature film? Up to a point.
