Plot: This sci-fi tearjerker has the distinction of being one of the most obviously commercial films ever made with constant plugs for MacDonalds, Coca-Cola companies, candy and other products. These not so subtle endorsements are woven into the story of a wheel-chair bound boy and the stranded alien MAC (not as in Big but rather Mysterious Alien Creature) who become friends and help each other with their family problems. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Mac and Me is the best
Added 8/12/2009

I've seen this movie when I was a little boy and I like the ending too, but If your looking for a fun movie with the kids Mac and Me would make your heart glow.

Worse children's film EVER!!!!
Added 4/29/2009

People slag off "Howard the Duck" for various reasons, but if you loved that film as a kid like me, you'll still love it today, but as for this you'll soon grow out of it and look back thinking "I LIKED THIS!!?", as for me I thought from the start "I'd rather watch E.T.".

This is what this film is a bad E.T. clone/rip-off, whatever you like to call it. The title is even a reference to a working title for that film- "E.T. and Me". As for the film itself it's just plain bad, you get obvious filming mistakes all over the place like a visible track up the wall for the hoover when he is sucked up, the mother saying a different line in the Sears scene from what is heard in the film (obviously dubbed after), the aliens looking really, REALLY pathetic, a plot-hole with MAC up in a tree with no mention of how he came down with a crappy song playing, tons and tons of constant references to McDonald's (no wonder why the alien is called Mac), Skittles and Coca-Cola making this film also a blatant advert. When all put together alongside the most stupidest ending ever, creates the biggest ever horrific film to be recorded to tape in a very long time.

Somebody I knew back in 1989 called this "The best children's film I've seen". I only hope it was a joke.

I had rented this movie 17 years ago for my niece and nephew. I have a new set of niece and nephew (1 and 4 respectively). We had been talking about this movie and they wanted to see it. I found it on Amazon.com and they thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend this movie for all ages.

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

Mac and Cheese is best with Coke
Added 7/12/2008

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.
