Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
anandh-47513 Nice Plot, Musical score Fantastic, Worth Watching...
belldave50 You know, I used to walk by this as a kid at my local Blockbuster and look at it and for some reason never wanted to see it. Now I feel a divine hand was at play to keep my love for E.T. and all that is good in the world from being emotionally sodomized.It's truly beyond words how much I hate this advertisement and movie that would've been horribly sued if it hadn't bombed. Throughout this movie I was let down each time the grotesque stupid creatures didn't die a horrible, torturous death. The people were just generally bad actors and uninteresting. I just can't respect this as a real movie. It's soooooo much ET and such a blatant advertisement for diabetes water: coca cola, and MacPoop food. And those aliens... those horrible animatronics and faces that are disturbing to look at. It really highlights how amazing that Spielberg's movie could make an alien that could be seen as almost grotesque, lovable. Man, these producers in the 80's must've really, really thought children were stupid. Do not see this whatever you do. Save yourself!
thesar-2 1. The drinking game I played for every product placement I saw in Mac and Me was over within 20 minutes when I nearly died of alcohol poisoning.2. If the Special Olympics were as hilarious as when wheelchair-bound Eric rolled uncontrollably down a hill, off a cliff and into a body of water, I'd be someone's sponsor just so I can see it for myself in person.3. No, no, McDonald's. The line "Why don't you stop by for a Big Mac?" was completely subtle.4. As were: "You know what I feel like?" – "A Big Mac?"5. Nice touch on the Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter overtones in the score…despite being a kid's movie.6. Jennifer Anniston's acting debut was Mac and Me. Later, she starred in Marley & Me. Is Murdering Me coming soon?7. It shouldn't have taken two times for Mac to be sucked hard for us to get the hint the writers were trying to tell us something.8. I usually try to avoid spoiling movies, but… E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. There you go.9. Mac gets stuck in a tree, dogs threaten to rip him apart and they cue the heart-felt music. I haven't laughed that hard since wheelchair-bound Eric plunged 50 feet into the water.10. Ironically, it does take a lot of coke to enjoy a feature like this.11. Code name: "One Hundred X-Ray?" Really?12. I waited the whole movie for the dance party inside and out of McDonald's and it was so worth it. Everyone was having a blast and I want my next birthday party there, too!13. Sometimes Mac can fly and sometimes he can control electrical objects, but when running from the suits, Mac chooses to ride on Eric's lap down another hill in his speeding wheelchair. ?? 14. Oh, and try not to be in tears from laughter after that chase scene's over.15. Skittles? Seriously? Stop.16. "How long have you been in lingerie?" might not be the best question to ask the most blatantly obvious sex offender working at Sears.17. There were more discounts in this movie than on McDonald's value menu. Like Discount Drew Barrymore, Discount Dee Wallace, Discount Henry Thomas….18. I'm probably taking the lines "I sucked him up…and then we blew him" way out of context.19. Traveling billions of miles for a three-minute rock collecting experiment might sound like a waste of NASA's talent and money.20. And how they missed the straws the aliens used for mud slurping should get at least one of them fired.21. But, the genius of getting the spacecraft across the galaxy in less time than it takes the Enterprise, would probably get someone a raise.22. Maybe Joe Arpaio saw this movie and that's why he is the way he is.23. The end taught me three things: Ronald McDonald is a real person, aliens can reanimate life but not fix dead legs and the MacFamily will be back. Or…so they promised before anyone actually saw this.24. The moral of the story is simple: You better be rooting for either the Chicago Bears (on WGN) or the Chicago Cubs while having a Coke. Only the weird neighbor roots for the Dodgers, but he probably eats at Burger King, anyways.
gavin6942 A Mysterious Alien Creature (MAC) trying to escape from NASA is befriended by a young boy in a wheel chair (Jade Calegory).This is basically the same story as "E.T.", except instead of Reese's Pieces we have Skittles, and instead of a bike we have a wheelchair. Same alien being chased by NASA. Same older brother, with the sister now being a neighbor.The movie is notorious for its McDonalds product placement. I had heard that the movie was one big McDonalds commercial, and that is not really a fair statement. However, there is about a five-minute scene featuring Ronald McDonald, many choreographed dancers, and McDonalds food galore. It really serves no purpose other than to make McDonalds look like a fun place to be (which it generally is not).
