A young extraterrestrial, separated from its family and stranded on Earth, finds friendship with a boy in a wheelchair.

Critics Consensus

Mac and Me is duly infamous: not only is it a pale imitation of E.T., it's also a thinly-veiled feature length commercial for McDonalds and Coca-Cola.

A blatant commercial for McDonald's and Coca-Cola disguised as an E.T. rip-off.

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.

1/5

A mercenary display of product placement and a bad advertisment for filmmaking.

Mac and Me is the type of film that is so bad that it's good.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Although being an obvious rip off of Spielberg’s E.T. It’s still watchable because it is so bad you cannot look away. It’s so ridiculous and I love it. I will share this film with my kids one day.

It's awesome cuz Mac just looks like a big fat long Cheeto, although it would have been better if in the end Mac took the kid with him, so he can perform experiments on the kid and turn him into a big fat cheeto
