Synopsis
"The Coneheads" were a sketch on the
Saturday Night Live
television show of the late '70s which were expanded to feature-length proportions with this film. The story concerns Beldar (
Dan Aykroyd
) and Prymaat (
Jane Curtin
), who leave the planet Remulak to prepare for an invasion of Planet Earth. But due to a malfunction, they find themselves plunged into the Hudson River and forced to take up residence in Paramus, New Jersey where Beldar gets work as an appliance salesman and makes a deal for a phony social security card. Before long, all thoughts of invading Earth are left behind as Beldar and Prymaat quickly adapt to suburban life -- except for their coneheads and metallic-sounding voices, they become a typical middle-class suburban family. The Coneheads have a child, Connie (
Michelle Burke
) and Beldar becomes a New York cab driver and starts up his own driving school. Connie grows into a teenager and a neighborhood boy, Ronnie (
Chris Farley
), develops a crush on her because he likes to rub her conehead. But a nefarious INS agent, Gorman Seedling (
Michael McKean
), and his toady assistant, Turnbull (
David Spade
), are hot on The Coneheads' trail because of Beldar's false social security card. Not only that, but the Remulakian Highmaster (
Dave Thomas
) is beginning to wonder what ever happened to Beldar's invasion of the third rock from the sun. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
