There's a whole theory that it was planned for Margot/Erin to act as she did. Slowick deduced she was an escort immediately or even just from reservations. The photo was placed for her to discover in the same sense the radio was.

Ultimately he didn't know if she would actually ask him to make a burger just a hope that she would put two and two together in an attempt at her own self-preservation. He had the burger ingredients and the take out boxes brought to the island specifically as late as once the guest arrive.

Something also about a final test for Elsa who always wanted to enter the chef's living quarters but never was allowed, and now here this stranger is whose allowed to.

Idk in general I don't care for the theory because it removes the agency of Margot/Erin but it's an interesting thought.

That's Mac & Me, which is also an ET knockoff.

ET was popular enough to have multiple knockoffs, which isn't uncommon.

Take these Star Wars knockoffs for example:

MST3K had an episode with yet another ET knockoff: 1983's Pod People (also known as Extra Terrestrial Visitors or The New Extraterrestrials)

I didn’t particularly like the end. I loved the concept of the movie. I was thinking it was going to be a TOTALLY different movie. I thought it was great. But the ending just wasn’t what I was expecting how to end. It kinda just hit a wall and she end up leaving. Yes I understand she got to bring joy back to his cooking before s’more. But I guess what I’m saying is I was expecting the end to have more. To be held to the level of the beginning.

It's a key compontent to Stallone's whole career, and honestly part of the reason that career consistently goes way up and way down. He's a tremendously solipsistic creator.

Basically - Creed worked the way it did because he had minimal (if any) creative involvement. Creed II (didn't) work the way it did because MGM didn't want to wait for Coogler and handed the series back over to Stallone. And Stallone essentially wrote a Rocky sequel, not a Creed one.
