Mac and Me Audience Reviews

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
jackwareingfilms IMHO Mac and Me is far superior to E.T. I can understand the obvious comparisons, but I just really loved Mac's interaction with his Mom and Dad, ALSO how their whistling communication could express the emotions they were feeling at a given time. I know I am in the minority about this, but I like the movie a lot.
decmcg This is without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt one of the most dreadfully APPALLING films of all time!! It's a (disgracefully) shameless rip-off of "E.T." sponsored and financed (SO obviously so) by McDonalds and Coca Cola.It's so ludicrous and shameful that once you get beyond that what it falsely claims to be... it actually proves so very enjoyable as the piece of steaming pile of drivel that it actually is."Mac & me" is the "Plan 9 From Outer Space" of its time.
tdrish It's been almost 30 years ago since Mac And Me was released, and to this day it still seems to be a laughingstock of cinema history. I feel as if this was the battered child of film as we know it, constantly getting dubbed as an "ET knock off". So I rise today to tell you, despite the critics bashing this movie around for years, and many other users jumping on the band wagon along with the haters...this was actually quite a good family movie for all ages. First of all, let's clear the air with this movie being compared to ET. It's nothing like ET. If Mac And Me was interested in cashing on the whole "ET" cash grab, they would have done it right around the time when that was released. That's not the case. ET was released in 1982, Mac And Me was released in 1988. And what exactly was the comparison between these two movies that people thought that Mac And Me was trying to be an ET rip off, anyways? ET had a lot of scary elements to it, including the night time scenes. Mac And Me is almost entirely shot during the day, giving it a more light, friendly feeling to it all. Not to mention the fact that the aliens don't look anything alike. ET, in my opinion, is an over rated film anyway, I didn't think it was worthy of all the attention ( not to mention the money) that it got when it was released. Love it or hate it, it earned it's respect, and Mac And Me did not. So unfortunate. ET was even laced with quite a bit profanity, and Mac And Me had absolutely NONE! Another point I would like to talk about, is that Mac And Me is virtually violence free, whereas ET had it's moments ( the cutting of the finger on the saw blade alone in ET, and blood dripping down? Yikes!) So is it fair to really compare the two together, when it's obvious they are not. People like looking in smoking mirrors, I suppose. Second of all, I don't like all the razzies this movie was awarded. Worst director? If you haven't seen all the films released in 1988, then you cannot possibly tell me Stewert as the worst director. Worst movie of 1988? No. Apparently they have never seen or heard of Rabid Grannies or Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, so I can't think of why this would be the worst movie of 1988 ( don't torque with me, I'm good with the years!) I really look forward to the remake of this movie in 2018~the sypnosis for this? Geez, even IMDb hates Mac and Me!
zubair ism This movie is seems to be described as an E.T. rip off however there are some plot holes in comparison.The movie kicks off with Nasa extracting matter from planet IpediusEric cruise (jade calegory) and is Mother (christin ebersole) and brother move from Illinois to their new exiting home to discover that a baby alien is stalking jade calegoryThe product placement in this movie is truly insane (coca cola and MacDonald's)Tina caspary was stunning in the film It was a good movie when i was 7 but wouldn't watch this again The soundtrack in this was not terrible with some good artists (debbie lytton, marcy levy)watch the MacDonald's dance scene and you will die of laughter
