Director Stewart Raffill's film is otherwise an unashamed rip-off of Spielberg's classic.May 14, 2013
Possibly aware that they have something less than a classic on their hands, the makers of MAC and Me have cut their losses by making the film into a kind of cinematic billboard: all space is for sale.August 30, 2004
If you made a film about a homesick extraterrestrial befriended by a little boy, would you dare to have the creature look like E. T.'s cousin?July 20, 2012
So-bad-it's-good "E.T." rip-off; lots of product placement.April 30, 2014
A blatant commercial for McDonald's and Coca-Cola disguised as an E.T. rip-off.May 14, 2013
Mac and Me simply is an uninspired, fast-food version of E.T., The Extraterrestrial.May 14, 2013
Everything about MAC and Me -- not least the fact that it's fairly well-made and involving -- smacks of crass calculation. The filmmakers even have the gall, in the movie's parting shot, to announce a sequel.May 14, 2013
A mercenary display of product placement and a bad advertisment for filmmaking.January 01, 2000
So why is it so hard to like this film? Having seen it done so much better by Spielberg doesn't help, of course.May 14, 2013
Mac and Me is a 99-minute commercial occasionally interrupted by a not-so-good children`s movie.May 14, 2013
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.June 24, 2006
Give the kids a break; take them to something else.
