the fact that this be a good film and it be do by ex snl actor help this movie to really stand out for me . dan aykroyd be terrific a beldar and it show that he can do a decent film ( and he do some stinker neighbor and 1941 and nothing but trouble and dr. detroit ) . a i say above and i haven not be that impressed by many of the film by ex snl cast member especially when they be movie length version of snl skit . however and this movie expand on the character and have great heart . in other word and despite the humor and the lead character come off a sympathetic and decent . if the character have be just like they be in the skit and the movie would have fall flat on it face . instead and we be treat to many instance when the coneheads try so hard to fit in and be the average american family . it also quite amuse that almost no one seem to notice that they arent . there be many snl related cameo and support player throughout the movie and they be pretty well integrated ( i. e. and they usually do not seem like tack on cameo but fit within the plot ) . also and although i generally hate david spade and his annoy personality fit in perfectly with the character he play . this be a good film for the whole family . it cute and funny and actually have amazingly good family value .
