Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

dylanhenty This is a coke advert masked as a remake of E.T. I wasn't expecting to find a disabled boy being blown up by the police and then brought back to life by Aliens that live off of our favourite name-brand brown fizzy liquid so funny, but i did. I have to wonder, what is the director doing now?

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.

Azlan Lewis 25 years ago this was a bad movie then and still is now.First of all this movie had 4 major sponsors. McDonalds, Sears, Coca- Cola and Volkswagen and you know this right away.The reason and only reason to watch this is if this the only thing on late night TV and you have no other options to available.Right away you have to suspend your beliefs in reality. It starts out on a planet near Earth. So close in fact that it only takes seconds to get from the near by planet to Earth. Also you have to assume on this unnamed near by planet that it has life forms that obviously have bones in their bodies and range from 2 1/2 feet tall to almost 7 feet tall can be sucked up by a 10 inch diameter vacuum and survive space travel in something 1/2 the size of a Mini Cooper.This movie has bad special effects, yes this movie was made in 1988 but we had ALL the Star Wars movies (1977 to 1983), Flight of the Navigator, Tron, Muppet Movies just to name a few that had better effects than this movie. Smallest alien ranges from a about 2 feet tall to over 3 feet tall (this is especially noticeable when the boy in the wheel chair carries Mac (the smallest alien), Mac gets into the vehicle to go to McDonalds, and when Mac dances (badly) on the McDonalds counter). You are supposed to also believe that drinking Coke is the only thing that gives the/these Alien(s) energy.It's very obvious that all the money for this movie mainly went to make 4 alien suits/puppets and they used Uncle Bob's Quick Build Creature Shop.The boy in the wheel chair and his older brother live with their widowed mother and they moved to California for a new job their mother got at Sears (one of the 4 sponsors). Their mother some how first blames the boys for destroying the house, especially the boy in the wheel chair. This makes no sense, It is obvious from where the drill and circular saw are used in places too high for him to handle in a wheel chair. Then when the house "Magically" get put back to normal she thanks the boys. I don't know if the scenes were filmed showing the Mac putting things back or not and it got cut but from how cheap they made this movie I am sure it was never filmed.Early in the movie you know McDonalds is a major part of this movie. The boys meet their new neighbors a set of girls that are about the same age as the boys. They immediately invite the boy in the wheel chair to a birthday party at McDonalds, where the older girl just happens to work at. Within two days, boy in w.c., his brother and youngest girl meet the smallest alien. When it's time to go to the birthday party the girl's mother picks up the boy in w.c. at his home. Though the mother questions the girl as to why he has a teddy bear, she doesn't seem to care when the large teddy bear crawls into the back of the car and is alive.There are a few good things but this doesn't really make it a good movie. Script and acting is good but that doesn't help.You also see a lot of mistakes. Puppet strings, effects, changes in smallest alien size, though a major sponsor to the movie McDonalds cups are not used when at the McDonalds restaurant, that there is always people at McDonalds that are trained dancers and just break out and dance all of a sudden, That three 20 something football players hang out at McDonalds in uniform and also know how to dance. Early in the movie you see vehicles crashing, this is where "Mac" the smallest alien gets into the boy in w.c.'s van. The vehicles in the crash a light gray/dark gray Mercury Cougar and a Cream and brown GM Truck are in this crash are later seen in a car chase later on in the movie. Really this movie should be destroyed.

beef-638-121436 This movie was rated as the worst ever, but I thought is was done quite well. You'd have to think of the target audience: Eighties kids, teenagers. They didn't mind the clumsy muppet play, it's a compelling story at a nice pace. A family of aliens gets taken from god knows where, could be a moon of Saturn by the looks of it, back to Earth by an automated NASA explorer spacecraft. They get into a big turmoil at the NASA base, but escape in the confusion. The youngest one gets separated and lands with a family which is just moving in the state. After that, things indeed look somewhat like E.T. There are folks here saying it is all stolen from E.T., well that must be true, though there wasn't anything really reminding me of ET - it is only when I consciously compare the scripts, certain things look similar. There were some really weird things yes like the obvious referring to McDonalds (must be a sponsor), Coca Cola as the beverage of choice for the aliens - it even brought them back to life. the McDonalds scene is pretty weird but hey - nobody said this movie shouldn't be. Dancers all around, even on the parking lot, freaking out on a kids party - Ronald McDonald is there too. The funniest goof is when the waitress hands out empty cups with straws, one falls on the ground, the younger girl picks it up - they didn't even bother to redo that scene, probably because it was a ridiculous scene anyway. Finally, all ends brilliantly, the aliens adept really well, and become true Americans!The acting, screenplay, music and general production were of genuine B- movie quality. Only the special effects were not as good as one would expect in production with a reasonable budget like this one. Bud kids, in the time of the release, weren't that picky like they are now in this 3d animated era. Did I find this movie entertaining? Surprisingly, yes I did!
