Justin DeclouxOct 12, 2024My buddy Kyle rented out a movie theater for his birthday. He invited a group of 30 of us to come watch “a horror film from my own private collection” without specifying which movie it was.

Even though this is clearly a ripoff of E.T, I still find it surprisingly enjoyable based off of how laughably bad it is. Even to this day, Me being a glutton for punishment somehow find this 1 h and 39 minute coke and McDonald’s commercial oddly fascinating and gratuitous.
Aidan Geary likedMac and MeThis film is only good due to how absurdly bad it is. The cursed aliens, the obvious coke product placement, the McDonald’s dance number. The whole thing is essentially an E.T. rip off to promote Maccies but god damn it’s funny to watch after a few beers.

Shameless E.T. knockoff.

It’s an amazingly bald-faced copy of E. T. even though this is E. T. in a sticky wrapper, left under the heater two hours too long.
