Here is one of the few movies that I have ever walked out on in the theater. Being a good sport and hoping it would fare better I second time on video, I chose to watch it again. Someone give me my 90 minutes back.
With exception of the "Wayne's World" films, the vast majority of SNL skit-turned-films have been unbelievably awful. "Coneheads" is a fine example of one of the worst films ever churned out from a now-unfunny show.
Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin bring their SNL roles to the big screen, and they have a lot to be ashamed of. There are very few laughs in this movie. The late Chris Farley gives it a shot, but the script is so utterly awful that he cannot even bring some physical humor into it.
With recent bombs like "A Night At The Roxbury" and "The Ladies Man," SNL really needs to hang it up. "Coneheads" was released when the show still had talent, but it is not on display here. Painful.
Grade: F
