Highly Overrated But Still Good

As Good As It Gets

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This movie will make you wish you'd never been born. Each minute that you continue to watch this movie you will find your will to live quickly being sucked out of you. If you haven't killed yourself by the time everyone busts out dancing in the McDonalds, that will surely send you into a hatred for life for which you may never recover. Unfortunately I don't own a gun or I would have taken my own life and saved myself from having to watch the second half. The scene where they drive Mac into the desert and he holds up his hands and does this stupid whistle to find his family which are almost dead in a cave made me start bashing my head against the wall in hopes that I would black out. Sadly I did not, and I now I must live the rest of my life with the nightmarish memories of this movie. I feel depressed and hopeless. I pray everyday that aliens really do exist and that they kill every last person on this planet. We don't deserve to survive as a species if we can make a movie like this.

I remember when I saw that movie in elementary school & I thought Mac is so adorable & It's a good family film about a boy in a wheelchair helping the little alien to find his family.Even though it got very bad reviews & It's a rip-off of E.T.,I don't care & I love Mac & me,it's a gr8 cult classic that got Mac in a bear costume doing a dance number @ a party @ McDonald's,Mac driving a toy car while being chased by the neighborhood dogs & it was very touching that Mac reunited with his family.I would be watching that movie when it's on YouTube or that I'll be getting the DVD over & over again when I feel like it & The ending have really touched my heart when Mac and his family use their powers to bring the boy back from the dead & they became citizens in the U.S.,when mac blew a bubble from the gum that said "we'll be back",I don't think there's a sequel coming but,I wish they'll be 1 so I can see it

OK, so what's the worst thing about "Mac and Me"? Is it that the movie is a blatant "E.T." ripoff? Or is it that the movie is essentially a 90-minute commercial (complete with a dance sequence in a McDonald's)? Whatever the answer is, the point is that this movie is the celluloid equivalent of a human rights abuse. It has NO good qualities, not a single one (it was incidental that this was Jennifer Aniston's debut). I have seen a number of crummy movies that turned out to have sort of an enjoyable side. Hell, I even took "Myra Breckinridge" and "Mommie Dearest" seriously (no, really, I did). But "Mac and Me" is probably the movie that Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank could've shown Mike, Servo and Crow to make them go insane on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". For the life of me I cannot figure out why Steven Spielberg didn't sue the makers of "Mac and Me" for copying "E.T." (then again, maybe it's better that he didn't, since it would've given the ripoff undeserved publicity).It should come as no surprise that this litany of awfulness regularly shows up on lists of the worst movies ever made. It makes any Ed Wood movie look like a cross between "Citizen Kane" and "Dr. Strangelove". Thankfully, audiences recognized it for what it was and it bombed, and so there was no sequel.

A Mysterious Alien Creature (MAC) trying to escape from NASA is befriended by a young boy in a wheel chair (Jade Calegory).This is basically the same story as "E.T.", except instead of Reese's Pieces we have Skittles, and instead of a bike we have a wheelchair. Same alien being chased by NASA. Same older brother, with the sister now being a neighbor.The movie is notorious for its McDonalds product placement. I had heard that the movie was one big McDonalds commercial, and that is not really a fair statement. However, there is about a five-minute scene featuring Ronald McDonald, many choreographed dancers, and McDonalds food galore. It really serves no purpose other than to make McDonalds look like a fun place to be (which it generally is not).
