Greetings, earthlings. A pint-sized extraterrestrial has just landed on our planet by accident…and he's feeling a little alienated because he got separated from his family upon arrival. Fortunately, the hilarious, intergalactic antics of this Mysterious Alien Creature (MAC) will help him charm his way into the heart of everyone he meets, including Ronald McDonald in a rare cameo!

mac and me is insane. this movie is chock full of moments that really tug at the heart-strings. feel sorry for the poor little wheel-chair bound boy and don't forget to buy coca-cola and eat at mcdonald's. at one point the alien dies and is revived by drinking coca-cola. i love this movie.

I swear, this movie is worth buying just to have it at your disposal for a laughter session. the mcdonalds dance scene is probably the lamest, but also the funniest thing ive ever seen. how does this stiff crappy alien turn into a 3 feet tall dancing machine in a few seconds?? The only reason for 3 stars is because of its humor content, not bc of its originality (et)

I remember watching this when I was younger and thinking of it as not bad but not as good as E.T. Thanks to Blockbuster.online and they mass of movies you can rent, I added this on my quere and just watched it yesterday. Oh man where to start.
First of all the movie is the most obvious E.T. ripoff ever. (1) A family without a dad and two boys(2)Older brothers name is Michael,(3) Girls name Debbie vs Gerdie, (4) Alien tricked into the house with food/beverage (Coke replaced the Reeses) (5) Alien talks, (6) Chased by the Government, etc. There was even a scene which LOOKED like the playground scene where the van stopped so they could plan.Man I was waiting for the wheelchair to start flying.
After I watched this I felt a sudden need for a value menu at McDonalds with a Coke and some Skittles. The product placement was non stop-always placed in a way the viewer could see perfectly. As the movie was in the final scene I thought the barrage was over until I saw MAC has a MCKIDS shirt and I just started cracking up. For reference you may remember it- the scene where the alien family gets citizenship in the US and then drives a car!
Honestly this movie is only for kids. Any adult would watch that McDonalds dancing scene and know it was cinematic awfulness. Two stars because its honestly in that rare "so bad its good" but only to laugh at and only once.

This is it. Oh my God, is this bad. Beyond description awful. This Coke and McDonald's commercial, I mean, "movie", rips off E.T., has atrocious acting, panders to an audience's sympathy for the handicapped, assuming you have the emotional depth of a Lilliputian puddle, and, most importantly, will make you laugh beyond belief. The dance scene in McDonald's has to be seen to be believed. Buy it now.

I bought this thing not long ago. I had heard quite a lot about it but hadn't seen it, and I was bound and determined to see if it was as bad as I'd heard.
Well, it isn't. Actually it is almost indescribably awful. Never mind the E.T. cloning job (similar in a way to the roomful of hideous, botched Ripley clones in "Alien Resurrection".) Don't even think twice about the incredible product placement. Those things are too well known to need discussion. What makes this thing so abominable is that the characters are so shallow and the script so idiotic that it's almost impossible to think that the people emoting before the cameras (I won't pollute my keyboard by calling it "acting") didn't realize what cultural sewage they were in up to their hips (or, in Jade's case, knees.)
Truth be told, I found this filmed chunk of vapid stupidity to be so bad that I couldn't watch it in one sitting. I think the fimmakers were deliberately trying to see what they could get away with, and this insult was the result.
I have no idea what motivated these people to sign up. Being in this did nothing for Calegory professionally, and I'm sure Jonathan Ward wished he'd never signed on the line. I'm sure these two are quite successful today in their chosen fields, but whenever the Ur-'80s totally rad older brother appeared toting his all-but-obligatory skateboard or the disabled kid with hair like aluminum rolled-in and spoke in his grating, irritating squeal, all I could think was, "You putz."
By all means, buy it- but do it to add to your bad movie collection. That is its only virtue.

If you want your kids to watch an inferior version of E.T. filled with poor acting and loaded with product placements for Coke and McDonalds you have found your movie! Oh and with an added bonus not included in E.T. Mac and Me offers a disturbing scene in which a disabled wheelchair bound boy falls off a cliff and nearly drowns. Don't worry he is saved by the title alien Mac (get it like a Big Mac sandwich) who apparently needs to drink Coca Cola to stay alive. I was chilled when Mac tells us he'll be back implying he'll be appearing in a followup film but since the movie is now almost twenty years old and no sequel has appeared on the horizon perhaps we can rest easy.

Mac is a baby alien who gets caught in a USA probe ship. Taken to earth he ends up with a family who moves to California.
The youngest boy is in a wheel chair due to a auto accident. Eric and Mac become best friends. The cutest scene is when Mac dresses in a bear costume {to hide from Nasa}and dances on the counter in McDonalds. They end up helping Mac's family in this film that just steals your heart. Personally I think it is better than ET. I looked everywhere for this on DVD and found it at Amazon.

Great condition
The movie was new when purchased and was covered just as if it were. I don't believe it has been used before. If it was, they definitely fooled me. Read more
