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.
