Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Coneheads is a 1993 movie inspired by the popular Saturday Night Live sketches from the 1970s. There is brief male nudity: Men's buttocks are exposed in one scene. There are the occasional double entendres in which well-known phrases involving body parts and functions are changed into words spoken on the Coneheads' home planet of Remulak. Aside from this, Beldar -- played by Dan Aykroyd -- is often shown smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. There is some violence: Other Coneheads are shown doing battle with a monster and end up with their heads decapitated and rolling down steps. Profanity includes "a--hole" and "s--tbox."

Sexual Content

Brief male nudity (exposed buttocks). Occasional "alien" double entendres involving sex organs. A teen Conehead is shown making out with her teen boyfriend and is later caught having a type of Conehead sex by her angry parents. A woman is shown making a pass at her driving instructor and talks of "extracurricular activities."

Violence

Cartoonish violence. An alien father rips open the top of a car to threaten an Earthling teen who is trying to date his teenage daughter. While fighting a monster, various other Conehead aliens are shown decapitated as they scream to their deaths.

Language

"A--hole," "s--tbox," "crap." Occasional double entendres in which sexual terms are spoken in an alien language.

Social Behavior

As a formulaic comedy based on a popular Saturday Night Live sketch from the 1970s, there isn't much in the way of positive messages.

Consumerism

On a first date, two teens are shown eating at a Subway. Subway beverages and food items are prominently featured throughout the scene. The Conehead mother is shown buying magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Redbook.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Beldar is frequently shown smoking cigarettes, a cigar, and a pipe. He also is shown at a bar drinking beer with his neighbor but does not act intoxicated.
