As Good As It Gets

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

IMDB normally gets it right in its overall rating, but in this case it is wrong I think. The script alone makes this movie and the one-liners are some of the best written. If you need to laugh this is it.

Two aliens with pointed heads, who are meant to be enslaving Earth, instead crash-land and decide to pretend they are citizens of America. The biggest enemy of the visitors is an immigration agent who cares not whether they are intergalactic or terrestrial aliens, so long as they are not meant to be working in America. The decision of the Coneheads to integrate in American society is enhanced further when the female agent is delivered of a baby girl, whom they want to be accepted as an ordinary American child. How do people with pointed heads and three rows of teeth attempt to "fit in" with those around them (especially when their daughter becomes a teenager who must compete with the rules of her peers)? An extremely well written, funny and even heart-warming film. Worth watching time and again, because something new will strike the viewer with every re-watching. Fantastic performances from many talented actors. Watch out for the fireworks display, the birth, the diving and the flash photography scenes. Excellent. Watch and enjoy.

Though this isn't the very best movie made from Saturday Night Live skits and characters (that would be a tossup between 'The Blues Brothers' and the two 'Wayne's World' entries), this is definitely top-tier and in the best five ever made. Laraine Newman and Jane Curtin were very underrated as comediennes, and the unsung heroes that held the cast together during its excellent run of the early days.What's hardly ever talked about, when it comes to movies based on SNL skits, is how important the supporting players are. 'Coneheads' undoubtedly has the strongest supporting cast of any of them, and while director Barron has hardly become a household name in terms of movies (only this and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' really hit the radar), his prowess on some of the greatest music videos of all time (ie., Dire Straits' 'Money for Nothing', Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' and A-Ha's 'Take On Me') was picture-perfect for the comedic set-pieces here. Definitely worth at least a watch, here in the 21st-century.

A conundrum of a movie, in that it's not funny or endearing, but obviously made and billed to be both funny and endearing. The movie was born from ancient SNL sketches that were only ever sort of funny, nostalgia took care of the rest. A forgettable movie, like I know the Coneheads are in the movie but I don't remember what they do or why they do whatever it is being done, like well over a hour of film is spent on central characters who are aliens from outer space trying to live on Earth incognito and its an utterly forgettable movie, that's not on me, I didn't screw that up. That the aliens' perspective on Earthling culture could be used for devastating satire was in no way utilized or even realized, I mean would you go to a knife fight and fight with a pocket- knife when you have Glock .9 strapped to your hip? Some important life-or-death struggle and you don't use your best weapon?
