Mac and Me

This is an excellent movie in the spirit of ET that encourages the audience to cheer for the underdog July 31, 2008

Mac and Cheese is best with Coke

The movie Mac and Cheese portrays a druggie alien whose main goal in
life was to kill The Wheelchair Boy and steal his Coke. The sex scene
in
the movie is great. Let's talk about Mac: He's a mutated meerkat, whose
addiction for Coke made him leave his planet to come to earth...just to
get one fix. While strung out on Coke, he was driving his Power Wheels
down the street and had a fatal Power Wheels accident, giving him fatal
head trauma...but luckily he survived. The coroner said that drinking
and driving is bad for meerkats while operating Power Wheels. I believe
him. He would never lie to me. Except for that one time when he lied
about having a crush on me. But, anyways. Now let's talk about Cheese:
aka The Wheelchair Boy who loves falling down cliffs. I learned one
lesson from that scene: Wheelchairs are heavy and gravity doesn't like
you. Too bad Mac was strung out on Coke when he tried to save him. He
ended up killing Cheese. He was giving him CPR while still in the
water.
I cried for hours. God, I miss Cheese. I miss him so
much!!!!Ok...that's
better. Now Mac is upset at himself and he wants
vengance...uh...against
himself. So he has a mass Coke-spree, even drinking Sams Choice when he
is low on cash. Wanting to waste away in this sad world of tasty
carbonation addiction known as Coke. The last scene in Mac and Cheese,
Mac is sitting in Ronnie McDonnie's, sobbing, drinking a Big Gulp.
Thinking this "Oscar-worthy film"-(hulk hogan), is over, something
unexpected happens. This is truly the climax!!! Cheese's rotted corpse,
wheelchair and all rolls into Ronnie McDonnie's, and picks up Mac's
lifeless body, and rolls out into the sunset...leaving you
speechless...but understanding the best love story of all time. July 12, 2008

trippers

alien crack babies are trippy.the only other time i've seen expressions like those on the aliens was when i saw a brotha hitting up a bitty-rock by a dumpster.great stuff;especially if you like mcdonalds. June 11, 2008

Even The Title Is a Product Placement!

If you want your kids to watch an inferior version of E.T. filled with poor acting and loaded with product placements for Coke and McDonalds you have found your movie! Oh and with an added bonus not included in E.T. Mac and Me offers a disturbing scene in which a disabled wheelchair bound boy falls off a cliff and nearly drowns. Don't worry he is saved by the title alien Mac (get it like a Big Mac sandwich) who apparently needs to drink Coca Cola to stay alive. I was chilled when Mac tells us he'll be back implying he'll be appearing in a followup film but since the movie is now almost twenty years old and no sequel has appeared on the horizon perhaps we can rest easy.

Some movies are not as good as you remember

I remember watching this when I was younger and thinking of it as not bad but not as good as E.T. Thanks to Blockbuster.online and they mass of movies you can rent, I added this on my quere and just watched it yesterday. Oh man where to start.

First of all the movie is the most obvious E.T. ripoff ever. (1) A family without a dad and two boys(2)Older brothers name is Michael,(3) Girls name Debbie vs Gerdie, (4) Alien tricked into the house with food/beverage (Coke replaced the Reeses) (5) Alien talks, (6) Chased by the Government, etc. There was even a scene which LOOKED like the playground scene where the van stopped so they could plan.Man I was waiting for the wheelchair to start flying.

After I watched this I felt a sudden need for a value menu at McDonalds with a Coke and some Skittles. The product placement was non stop-always placed in a way the viewer could see perfectly. As the movie was in the final scene I thought the barrage was over until I saw MAC has a MCKIDS shirt and I just started cracking up. For reference you may remember it- the scene where the alien family gets citizenship in the US and then drives a car!

Honestly this movie is only for kids. Any adult would watch that McDonalds dancing scene and know it was cinematic awfulness. Two stars because its honestly in that rare "so bad its good" but only to laugh at and only once. May 15, 2008
