Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a bizarre blend of sci-fi and holiday cheer that fails to deliver on both fronts.

Mac and Me is a blatant rip-off of E.T. that shamelessly indulges in product placement. The story of a boy befriending an alien is overshadowed by the constant advertisements for McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. The film’s poor special effects and lackluster performances make it a painful viewing experience. Avoid this movie unless you’re in the mood for a laugh at its expense.
