Title: My next Friday night review: "Mac & Me"
Post by: Olivia Bauer on March 17, 2011, 01:40:19 PM
This time around I'm reviewing a bad ET rip off. Can I handle it? Find out tomorrow night!

This one's gonna be tough!  I tried sitting through this one again recently after not having seen it since 'back in the day' and it wasn't pretty...

Good luck and I look forward to reading your thoughts!

That's a rough one. I watched the entire thing last year. Good luck!

Ah yes, this film... Oh boy oh boy!  You are in for a treat!  I recommend you do a product placement count.  Everytime you see Coca Cola and or McDonalds, count it.  Pay close attention, you may miss a few!  I counted around 15 Coca Cola shots and 10 McDonalds p.p.s, so lets see you can find more than me!

Coke and Mickey Dee's saw all that money Reese's Pieces made from the ET deal, and wanted a slice of the pie.

It's been years since I've actually seen this thing all the way through. I don't think I could stomach it now. All I remember is a musical number set in a McDonalds and the alien family look like a cross between Sea Monkeys and Sphincters.

Yep, just a couple of Butthole mouths raising hell in a grocery store. Perfect family movie.

I also like the realism this film captured. I remember many visits to McDonald's and there would always be a dance off going on in the parking lot. No one would get mad trying to pull in or park. Guys would just get out of the car, leave it in drive so it rolls down hill, and do impromptu breakdancing.  Good times.  :cheers:

I found this horrifying clip it's Ronald McDonald Introducing the film, and someone took the liberty of editing the preview into a horror film. And christ this could have been scary. Look at all those backlit shots filled with haze machine fog. Did Ridley Scott direct this??

Sears only appeared twice if I recall and Skittles appeared 4 times.    Don't forget to look for United Moving, Wickes Furniture, and Power Wheels as well!
