Mac and Me

What to Know

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.

Peter Travers People Magazine A blatant commercial for McDonald's and Coca-Cola disguised as an E.T. rip-off. Apr 30, 2014 Full Review Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times 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. May 14, 2013 Full Review Mark Salisbury Empire Magazine A mercenary display of product placement and a bad advertisment for filmmaking. Rated: 1/5 May 14, 2013 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Mac and Me is the type of film that is so bad that it's good. Rated: 4/5 Mar 24, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A movie that continues to live in infamy. Rated: 1/4 Jun 7, 2021 Full Review Andrew F.

Louise C 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Neo Maxi Z 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🍅 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Jonah K The most beautiful thing to ever grace my eyeballs. Every one should watch this. They should teach Mac n me in school still waiting for Mac and me 2 to hit theaters. My favorite movie ever. E.T can go turn all white and crusty again Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Ryann G No.👎 It's so bad. They have soda as a life-saving drink And candy to. So how'd the ugly aliens got there? Being sucked up in a space shuttle. Brrrruuuhhhh! But it's so funny 🤣🤣🤣 1-star Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Audience Member If I could give this movie 0/5, I would. The point of the movie being to sell Coke and McDonalds to you is so obvious, I think a real McDonald's commercial tries to sell less to you. Just no. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Matt K The random dance party at the McDonalds is the cherry atop this treat of a terrible movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
