Advantages: Playing spot the celeb

Disadvantages: Not many actually

It's been a fair old while since I last saw this movie but it's still pretty darn good. Dan Ackroyd & Jane Curtin, both great alumni of Saturday Night Live bring to the big screen this version of Coneheads. 2 aliens who came to earth to conquer the planet, crash-land and then get stuck and have to adapt until rescue arrives.

And the fun ensues. It's a pretty heavy name cast including very brief appearances from Adam Sandler (selling fake id), Drew Carey (as a cab customer), Ellen Degeneres, Phil Hartman and a few others who I no doubt missed. You also get Dan's brother Peter (playing another Conehead) and his daughter Danielle playing 3yo Connie proving that nepotism isn't dead. It's not what you know, it's who you know.

Sinbad is pretty good and not too over the top, and the INS guys are bearable. The special effects stand up pretty well and the film still has plenty of laughs and enjoyable situations. Well worth a look if you haven't seen it before and worth a least another look if you have.

Summary: A great sci fi comedy offering from a former Blues Brother
