Watching it's made me a little stupider, buying it would have also dropped me a few social classes.

Then there's Mac himself, a puppet which couldn't possibly look more like a puppet (a bad, shoddy puppet at that).

E.T. rip-off and commercial placement-packed kid movie

A product placement for McDonald's. Hook them kids in quick, and they'll be eating junk for life.
