Join me and a lot of other people who have not - and will not - see Mac and Me. It is rated 3.4 at the database and looks awful.

I haven't either. I just know it's a giant rip-off of E.T. and also a giant commercial for fast food.

I've seen bits and pieces of it on TV. It just looks like a cheap, shitty kids movie.

Not really. I mean I like it because of nostalgia but I wouldn’t say it’s a movie that everyone need see.

It’s pretty bad. For families who can’t afford to watch E.T.

Catman started watching it once by accident. A quick flick of the remote fixed that mistake.

You can safely enjoy the full Mac and Me experience by watching just two clips:
There, now you've seen Mac and Me. Those are the only two scenes anybody remembers. If a diehard Mac and Me fan gets on your case, you may also need to know about the aliens-- I call them the Family Mac-- being mistaken for robbers and blowing up a grocery store at the climax. But I will let you research that on your own.

Objectively speaking, it’s better than Nukie.

Saw it on MST3K, a very poor man's E.T. ck100 hit the nail right on the head, it is indeed a glorified fast food commercial as well.

I seen it unfortunately. Lots of product placement.

I'm just glad it wasn't on HBO when I was a kid.

I had just seen Mac and Me a few weeks ago for the first time, courtesy of Mystery Science Theater 3000. To me, it's actually not that bad. It's okay.
It's up to you if you want to see it or not.

Not really. It's just a discount E.T.

Maltin Movie Guide Review:
Mac and Me (1988) - 1.5 out of 4 stars
"Slight E.T. clone about Mac, an outer space creature, and his plight in suburban L.A. More a TV commercial than a movie: There's a production number set in a McDonald's, and the alien survives by sipping Coca-Cola."

Especially if you're an alien.

It's worth a watch because it's so bad it's hilarious.

I kind of want to see it, but I know I’m not getting anything worthwhile.
