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.

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

Although lacking the star quality of other films of this ilk, I still enjoyed this children-centred story. Not the least of which was the way kids were so nice to each other, even to a boy in a wheelchair and to a small alien who had been separated from his family. This quality is mostly absent in movies today. Eric Cruise, played by Jade Calegory comes across as a good guy, who does not moan about his situation, and wants to lend a hand to a small soul in need.

I understand that this is a rotten movie to most viewers, but sometimes things are just so BAD that they're GOOD!!! This is what Mac & Me was for me as a child and still today as an Adult...I mean I still love a Coke with my Big Mac and Fries. Thanks Mac🍅
