However, the fact that it's a rip-off of one the most popular films ever made, has a horrible script that not even Denzel Washington could improve on, and is filled with product placements galore just makes the film absolutely horrible. Honestly, if you take Mac And Me as a kiddie film, it's not bad. This was one of them, and I'm quite surprised that Steven Spielberg didn't sue for royalties when this E.T. It’s basically art.In a bad way! Back in the late 1980's, quite a few movies that were considered to be among the worst ever made were coming out to theaters.

The setup is that instead of rolling a clip of whatever film he’s promoting, Rudd instead plays the scene from Mac and Me. This is in no small part thanks to Paul Rudd, who has been trolling Conan O’Brien with a running gag using a clip from the movie, for over a decade, in which Eric loses control on his wheelchair and goes barreling down a cliff into a lake. While it may have been a commercial flop (grossing $6.4 million at the domestic box office on a $13 million budget), Mac and Me has since gained cult status as one of the “worst movies ever made.” Mac and Me followed on the heels of Disney’s popular Flight of the Navigator (1986) and is about a disabled boy named Eric Cruise who befriends an alien named MAC (short for “Mysterious Alien Creature”) after it escapes from NASA. Among the films are Atlantic Rim (2013), Lords of the Deep (1989), The Day Time Ended (1979), Killer Fish (1787), Ator, the Fighting Eagle (1982), and, last but not least, the 1988 science fiction masterpiece, Mac and Me. Netflix has released the trailer for season two of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Gauntlet, which will be streaming later this month, along with all six titles Jonah and his plucky robot sidekicks will be subjected to this time around.
