Best part of story, including ending:
This was truly a terrible film, and arguably one of the worst ever made. At best it's a disposable kid's film, but at worst it rips off far better films, specifically E.T. Mac and Me is an affront to the art of cinema full of product tie ins and terrible effects.
Best scene in story:
Between Eric falling off of a cliff and a seemingly impromptu dance scene inside of a McDonald's with a Cameo from Ronald McDonald himself it is really hard to say. Both scenes were equally hilarious and atrocious.
Opinion about the main character:
Eric seems like a good kid that needs a friend so he is likable in that sense but as far as the performance goes, he comes off as a brat at times.
