ok i am looking for this movie for a long time and no one knows what i am talking about. well here it goes. its an alien movie and it involves a little boy in a wheelchair and he sees this alien and he becomes friends with him and he dresses it up in a teddybare costume and the little boy gives him coke and it gives this alien energy. the boy in the wheel chair has a brother and they are raised by there single mother. when this alien messes with straws he makes them in to windmills and plays with them... there are these agents trying to get this alien and the kids take this alien that is dressed up in his teddybare costume to mcdonalds to a birthday party and these agents show up and try to get them and so the kids load up in the van and drive to this area with all these windmills and this alien takes these kids to wear his family is and they are not responding and so they give them coke and there is a father and mother and some other alien kids there.

Googled "Movie about a kid, an alien and coke" and came up with this IMDB posting:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095560/usercomments?start=70

The movie is "Mac and Me" (1988). According to a "review" on IMDB by a user:

One of the worst things that was spawned by the eighties...

...oh what a terrible decade. Movies like "The Running Man" and "Ladyhawke" were making money. That terrible background guitar sound that was created, and used in every shot of EVERY SINGLE MOVIE IN THAT ENTIRE DECADE! Oh, and the various "E.T." rip-offs, "Mac and Me" being the worse.

It's easy to explain how terrible this movie is. Let's just say, it's worse than current flops "Batman and Robin", "Maid in Manhattan" and "Spy Kids 2". That's bad. The 'story' focuses on a wheelchair bound kid (I forget the 'actor's name, I'll just call him "Random Cutie") who meets up with an alien (Mac) that has been seperated from its parents. Mac looks so much like E.T. that I thought it was a sequel to the Speilberg flick, well, up to when the "movie" started to get really bad.

Why rip-off E.T. anyway? Everyone knows your ripping it off, because E.T. is the only 'good' (I use that term loosely) 'Alien-and-boy-form-unlikely-friendship' movie. It's like making a rip-off of Lord of the Rings, except make Frodo and the Ring form an unlikely friendship, and having the ring about a billion times cuter.

The worse part about "Mac and Me" is the various scenes when Mac just starts dancing. He just starts dancing. No reason, no relevancy to anything, just 'hip' eighties break dancing. I'd imagine this is what gave Bruckheimer the idea for that abominable dream sequence in "Kangaroo Jack". THAT'S bad.

There is not one good thing to say about this movie. No, it's not even a movie. It's like staring at a box full of feces for ninety minutes, 1.5/10.
