Review of Mac and Me (1988) by Jeff B — 21 May 2009

Impossibly awful. No, seriously. Impossibly. F*ing awful. Probably among the worst studio films ever made. Oh yeah, also, unintentionally hilarious. This product-shilling, non-sensical E.T. ripoff is so bad that it actually has to be seen to be believed. Just when you think the plot -- in the loosest sense of the term -- can't get any more ridiculous, there is a full on McDonald's dance party, a wheelchair chase through Sears, an unlikely explosion and a subsequent absurdist resuscitation, a US citizen swearing-in ceremony, a promise of a (thankfully never delivered) sequel and a pink Cadillac. And that's just in the last 20 minutes.

If you ever need to supply a film for "bad movie night" with your friends, THIS is the one to pick. And please do so soon, so we can discuss...
