It has been labeled one of the worst films ever made by Rotten Tomatoes, where it holds a 0% rating, mainly due to people calling it a product placement inducement, and a rip off of the movie E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial (whose original working title, incidentally, was E.T. and Me). Mac and Me was also referenced in the 2011 film Paul, which was also about aliens.

“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
