“Iu0026#39;ve never watched a microsecond of SNL so I watched this as just another film. Itu0026#39;s not Gone with the Wind, but it doesnu0026#39;t pretend to be. Itu0026#39;s a small scale comedy. It isnu0026#39;t 90 minutes of side splitting belly laughs, but itu0026#39;s mildly amusing throughout and there are a number of pretty good jokes. Flicking through the twenty or so movies my cable channel is offering me this evening, Iu0026#39;d prefer Coneheads to any of them. That doesnu0026#39;t make it a masterpiece, it just makes it a solid little comedy that will leave you more cheerful at the end than you were at the beginning. For those who like their comedy to be cutting edge with constant sarcastic political barbs, you should look elsewhere. (Is this why some reviewers donu0026#39;t like it – maybe they were expecting political satire ?) This isnu0026#39;t satire, itu0026#39;s mild smiley humour a la Ghostbusters, and none the worse for that.”
