So much so that the titular Mac is named that because of the McDonalds Big Mac. When I say it was trying to make money I mean it, this is the strongest example of shameless product placement. It also holds a whopping 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film was nominated for four Golden Raspberry Awards and won Worst Director and Worst New Star (for Ronald McDonald). Sounds familiar huh? The film’s budget was 13 million dollars and it made a “spectacular” 6.4 million at the box office… It then finds friendship with a boy in a wheelchair. The film follows a young extraterrestrial, separated from its family and stranded on Earth. Mac and Me was attempting to be a vehicle to make boatloads of cash but I think the lack of a sequel the film infamously promises at the end is a show of just how well that plan went. but that isn’t exactly the topic I’m discussing though the comparison is definitely relevant. Mac and Meis a movie that without question was an attempt to cash in on the explosive success of Steven Spielberg’s E.T.

He’s a human monster come to life, more than your typical shambling zombie looking for brains.
You see him and immediately get the vibe of his character. You look at a character like Jason Voorhees, big hulking undead slasher draped in moldy dripping clothes with holes to expose his rotting flesh underneath, top it off with a hockey mask that is noticeably different from the rest of his color scheme. When you first see a character in a movie from how they look and dress it speaks volumes to what they’re like. It seems unfair and your mom tells you not to do it but sometimes you can judge a book by the cover.
First impressions are important even for fictional characters.
