Mac and Me: Susi’s review
Oh holy jesus. I knew not to expect much from an obvious ET ripoff, but this was much more painful than I could have imagined. The alien suits were really creepy. Wrinkly skin, belly pooch ala starving Ethiopians, puffed out cheeks, and enternally pursed mouth-hole. This is the stuff of nightmares, I tell you, and we’re supposed to think they’re cute? Seeing them dressed up in human clothing at the end was the most disturbing thing of all.
This is pretty much your standard “kid and friends help wacky alien/animal/fairy thingie find family/home/dream car” fare. Only on some kind of psychoactive drug. Highlights include a sing and dance number in McDonald’s, useless 80’s power ballads, a kid in a wheelchair going for a jog with his mom, and shameless product placement. I give this one a 1/10, purely because no one ever drank anything other than Coke.
