Mac and Me Soundtrack

Mac and Me is a 1988 American comic science fiction film co-written (with Steve Feke) and directed by Stewart Raffill. Starring Christine Ebersole, Jonathan Ward and Tina Caspary alongside Lauren Stanley and Jade Calegory in their only film appearances, the film centers on a "Mysterious Alien Creature" (MAC) that escapes from nefarious NASA agents and is befriended by a wheelchair-using boy named Eric Cruise. Together, Eric and MAC try to find MAC's family from whom he has been separated. Despite praise for Calegory's lead performance, the film met with widespread critical censure and failed at the box office. Reviewers noted imitation of numerous concepts from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and excessive product placement (mainly of McDonald's and Coca-Cola) as its principal flaws. The film was nominated for four Golden Raspberry Awards while winning Worst Director and Worst New Star (for Ronald McDonald). On the other hand, it received four Youth in Film Awards (now Young Artist Awards) nominations. The film holds a 0% approval rating at review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes and is widely regarded as one of the worst ever made. It has, however, attained cult status.
