Coneheads (1993)
Humans Are More Weird Than Aliens !

Well, I loved this movie very much. It's so hilarious, and in the same time got smart commentary about the human of today who's so lazy, idiot and odd, which made Aliens, compared to that, more idealistic, and more human!

Although I'm not a big fan of (Dan Ayroyd), and how I've heard a lot about the hastiness and silliness of (Saturday Night Live)'s spin off movies, but anyway despite that, and some few repulsive moments too, this movie was so good, and I believe that was because its brilliant script.

It provided us with: real funny sketches, a thrilling hunt for those aliens, and then the fight at the original plant. Still the best part was the sarcastic confirmation about how humans are too blind to see the truth, and very faulty; so when one of them does the right thing; he becomes the real alien of his community!

The cleverness of this movie allowed ingenious sitcom to appear 3 years later, named (3rd Rock of The Sun), where the very (Bonnie Turner) and (Terry Turner), who were two of 4 wrote this movie, would be the creators of it. It had (Jane Curtin) also, but as the affected human this time, who deals with the aliens as annoying locals who maybe are less evil, and more innocent!

I must refer to the wonderful performance of everybody, from the lead actors to the supporting ones like: (Sinbad) as the helpful Otto, (Adam Sandler) as the forger, (David Spade) as the INS agent, (Drew Carey) as the taxi passenger, (Jon Lovitz) as the dentist, and many more..

It's a slick satire about the real Coneheads in our life: us!
