Coneheads (1993)

The Coneheads came from the planet of Remulak to conquer and dominate the Bluntskulls: also known as Earthlings.
But an encounter with defensive fighter pilots forces the Conehead ship down. The Coneheads must now make a new plan: contact their home plant and “blend in” with Earthlings while waiting for rescue.
Dan Aykroyd plays Beldar Conehead with the purchased identity of Donald R. DeCicco
Jane Curtin plays Prymatt Conehead , Mary Margaret DeCicco
Michelle Burke plays their daughter: Connie Conehead

While waiting on Earth, life unfolds for the Coneheads. Beldar advances and holds several jobs always a step ahead of the INS. ( Immigration and Naturalization Service)

Prymatt gives birth on Earth to their only child: Connie. Beldar and Prymatt find a nice home where they raise Connie.
Connie even meets her first boyfriend here on Earth: Ronnie played by Chris Farley.

Any Bluntskulls met by the Coneheads never question their unusual teeth or anatomy. To the contrary, the Bluntskulls accept them enthusiastically.

The only person who questions their identity is INS Deputy Comissioner Gorman Seedling played by Michael McKean.. This happens because the Coneheads purchased an identity that had been sold to at least two previous customers. It is red tape rather than the obvious that exposes the Coneheads as “aliens”.

The songs are great fun. Tainted Love will never sound the same after Beldar... Uh Uh.
If you want to laugh Coneheads is a good pick.
