Mac and Me (1988)
1/10
Dreadful, really...

Warning: Spoilers
Hands down one of the all-time worst I've seen. I'm simply astonished that this was actually released theatrically. *Minor Spoiler* (as if anybody would care)

Note that before the end of this film, there is a note stating, "We'll be back". Whatever did happen to the proposed sequel to this one?

Everything you've heard is true. Manipulative, sappy, and derivative in every conceivable way. I've heard that The Wizard contains the most products in any film (Back to the Future is another runner-up), but I can't imagine any movie with more thinly-veiled ads than this mess. Ridiculous musical sequence, shameless plugs, misuse of the word "H*LL", a traffic accident which was almost certainly fatal and is laughed off by the main characters, and those are the good parts! This one may have been worse than Street Fighter, but then again, maybe not. Avoid at all costs. That anyone rated this movie a "10" proves that too many jokers are allowed in IMDb. Seriously, I don't see how ANYBODY could find this movie a "10", and I do know some children who found it somewhat enjoyable. Perhaps the fact that no one ever attempted to further the adventures of Mac and his kin offers some evidence that God's grace shines upon us all. Mac and Me is a wretched excuse for entertainment that is literally not even worth the film on which it is printed.
