The drinking game I played for every product placement I saw in Mac and Me was over within 20 minutes when I nearly died of alcohol poisoning.Ģ. Reviewed by thesar-2 1 / 10 The Top Twenty-Four Ways Mac & Me is Cheesyġ.

Again, what in the world were they thinking? I give this a 10 for being so amazingly blatant.

I will give them a hug and kiss for throwing said boy off a cliff. I will also give the production credit for casting a real boy in a wheelchair in the lead. I will say that I like the alien designs better than the horrifically ugly E.T., even if these aliens do look like Imogene Coca in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION. Seriously, one could start a Coca-Cola drinking game with this but I fear people participating might have their teeth rot out by the end of the 90 minutes. I counted 15 moments where characters offer up a Coke (Skittles and McDonalds get off light compared to that). I haven't seen this much Coke on screen since BLOW (ah, boo yourself!). The level of product placement is astounding. And not only that, it rips off a major moment from STARMAN, right down to the aliens walking through fire. But with its new cult standing, I had to finally check it out and it definitely deserves its standing. Naturally, I didn't see it (like the majority of the world). I was 13 the summer that MAC AND ME came out and even then I could sense how calculated and commercial it was.
