Mac and Me (1988)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Must See Movie...

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

This film has often been compared to E.T. Yes, it is like E.T. but better than E.T. When I watched this film when I was a kid, I thought it was better than E.T. Now that I am an adult, I still believe it is better than E.T.

Nice Plot, Musical score Fantastic, Worth Watching...

This is without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt one of the most dreadfully APPALLING films of all time!! It's a (disgracefully) shameless rip-off of "E.T." sponsored and financed (SO obviously so) by McDonalds and Coca Cola.It's so ludicrous and shameful that once you get beyond that what it falsely claims to be... it actually proves so very enjoyable as the piece of steaming pile of drivel that it actually is."Mac & me" is the "Plan 9 From Outer Space" of its time.

This movie was rated as the worst ever, but I thought is was done quite well. You'd have to think of the target audience: Eighties kids, teenagers. They didn't mind the clumsy muppet play, it's a compelling story at a nice pace. A family of aliens gets taken from god knows where, could be a moon of Saturn by the looks of it, back to Earth by an automated NASA explorer spacecraft. They get into a big turmoil at the NASA base, but escape in the confusion. The youngest one gets separated and lands with a family which is just moving in the state. After that, things indeed look somewhat like E.T. There are folks here saying it is all stolen from E.T., well that must be true, though there wasn't anything really reminding me of ET - it is only when I consciously compare the scripts, certain things look similar. There were some really weird things yes like the obvious referring to McDonalds (must be a sponsor), Coca Cola as the beverage of choice for the aliens - it even brought them back to life. the McDonalds scene is pretty weird but hey - nobody said this movie shouldn't be. Dancers all around, even on the parking lot, freaking out on a kids party - Ronald McDonald is there too. The funniest goof is when the waitress hands out empty cups with straws, one falls on the ground, the younger girl picks it up - they didn't even bother to redo that scene, probably because it was a ridiculous scene anyway. Finally, all ends brilliantly, the aliens adept really well, and become true Americans!The acting, screenplay, music and general production were of genuine B- movie quality. Only the special effects were not as good as one would expect in production with a reasonable budget like this one. Bud kids, in the time of the release, weren't that picky like they are now in this 3d animated era. Did I find this movie entertaining? Surprisingly, yes I did!
