A blatant commercial for McDonald's and Coca-Cola disguised as an E.T. rip-off.
May 14, 2013
A mercenary display of product placement and a bad advertisment for filmmaking.

Mac and Me is a 99-minute commercial occasionally interrupted by a not-so-good children`s movie.

Mac and Me simply is an uninspired, fast-food version of E.T., The Extraterrestrial.

If you made a film about a homesick extraterrestrial befriended by a little boy, would you dare to have the creature look like E. T.'s cousin?

Everything about MAC and Me -- not least the fact that it's fairly well-made and involving -- smacks of crass calculation. The filmmakers even have the gall, in the movie's parting shot, to announce a sequel.

So why is it so hard to like this film? Having seen it done so much better by Spielberg doesn't help, of course.

Give the kids a break; take them to something else.

Director Stewart Raffill's film is otherwise an unashamed rip-off of Spielberg's classic.
July 20, 2012
So-bad-it's-good "E.T." rip-off; lots of product placement.
May 14, 2013
It's an amazingly bald-faced copy of E. T. even though this is E. T. in a sticky wrapper, left under the heater two hours too long.
May 14, 2013
Possibly aware that they have something less than a classic on their hands, the makers of MAC and Me have cut their losses by making the film into a kind of cinematic billboard: all space is for sale.
