Mac and Cheese is best with Coke 
2008-07-12
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.

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.
Even The Title Is a Product Placement! 
2008-05-20
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.

we bought this for our 9 yr old grandson because it's such a cute yet moving film. I love that not only is this a single parent family, but that there is also a handicapped child. I have a feeling that we'll be buying a couple more copies for other grandsons to enjoy.. and maybe one for our house :).
Mac and Me 
2008-01-02
Greetings earthlings. A pint-sized extraterrestrial has just landed on our planet by accident and he's feeling a little alienated because he got separated from his family upon arrival. Fortunately the hilarious intergalactic antics of this Mysterious Alien Creature (MAC) will help him charm his way into the heart of everyone he meets including Ronald McDonald in a rare cameo!As far as best friends go MAC makes a pretty good one. He has a gentle disposition and a terrific sense of humor. But for new-kid-in-town Eric Cruise the problem is that no one will believe that his fun new friend even exists. Everyone thinks it's all science fiction until MAC comes out of hiding and takes Eric his family his neighborhood and his world on a fantastical journey that will transform their lives forever!System Requirements:Running Time: 99 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: PG UPC: 027616921819 Manufacturer No: 1008143
Bad movie, but fun to watch 
2007-12-17
Yeah yeah, product placements, but what is funny is how "perfectly turned" the products are to the camera. The skittles bag is poured with a near perfect looking bag. The coke cans are turned toward the camera so the logo shows, the girl is mostly always wearing her McDonalds uniform during the movie, etc.
The part I remember most is near the end when wheelchair boy goes boom. His friends bring him over, and one shouts "He's breathing, he's going to be ok". Then another guy comes over, looks at him for literally 2 seconds, and says "There's nothing I can do for him", and hurries off. Everyone starts crying. HELLO? CPR Anyone? This scene was totally not believable, some movies you get teary eyed when the main character dies off, but in this one, I could really care less.
What makes it hilarious is right at the end where you see "We'll be back", thankfully that has yet to happen.
LMAO At all the reviews!!!! 
2007-08-09
I read all of the reviews; some I agree, some I disagree. But reading this while having a crappy day at work gave me a lift in my spirits cause some comments were funny as hell!!!! Could this be any more hilarious!!! I saw the movie years ago and I thought it was cute then. All I can say is only those without any sense of humor or an imagination would dislike this movie.
Three stars for amusement only 
2007-07-29
This movie is not good or touching in any way. But it is so insanely funny that it is worth the price. The best part is that it leaves room for a sequel at the end...a sequel that, sadly, never came.
Great movie

A good movie for the whole family. It's not as popular but still worth to watch it if you and your family like McDonald's and movies from the 80's. Don't mind the special effect.
