After decades of being blown to bits by bombs, demolished by dynamite, mangled by magnets, battered by boulders, trampled by trains, tricked by tunnels, sprung by springs, steamrolled by steamrollers, maligned by misfires, bedeviled by bungees, rattled by rockets, backstabbed by bat suits, rocked by rocket skates, upended by unicycles, quaked by quake pills, rubberized by rogue bands, and hurled headlong off every cliff in the Southwest, Wile E. Coyote (Genius) finally fights back. Teaming up with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte), he takes on slick corporate counsel Buddy Crane (John Cena) and ACME, Inc., the profit-obsessed conglomerate behind every one of the Coyote's chaotic catastrophes.

Critics Consensus

A daffy satire that's equal parts heart and wily humor, Coyote vs. Acme makes a triumphant case for the Looney Tunes' modern relevance with a sense of good-natured mischief that'd make even Bugs Bunny bow.

Audience Says

A hilarious, nostalgic, and unexpectedly heartfelt crowd-pleaser, Coyote vs. Acme introduces Looney Tunes mayhem -- and its iconic anvils -- to a new generation while rewarding longtime fans.

3/5

The animation has all the verve of the old cartoons but overall the production lacks the deadpan wit that makes Frazier’s short piece so funny.

3.5/5

The movie reinterprets the Coyote/Road Runner relationship, finding nobility in Coyote's failure and something almost mythic in the Road Runner. It’s funny, too.

If this is the Looney Tunes’ last act, it just might be their most poignant, proving there’s forever a space for childish whimsy, even in a world that seems more desolate by the day.

The result is a highly entertaining and often very funny movie that will possibly leave long-time fans of the characters scratching their heads a little

The result is surprising in its vibrancy, its mischievousness, and its propensity for throwing human beings into ditches. [Full review in Spanish]

It was a great show to watch. It was filled with nostalgia and a good storyline. I cannot wait to get the film once it is out of theaters! A great family film to watch over and over again. 😊

Coyote vs. Acme takes a simple but clever idea: after decades of ACME products blowing up in his face, Wile E. Coyote finally decides to sue the company. The concept is probably the best part of the movie. There are some genuinely funny moments, the classic Looney Tunes insanity is there, and John Cena fits perfectly into this ridiculous world. I also liked the irony of a movie about a giant corporation trying to screw over the little guy almost getting buried by a giant corporation in real life. But as a full-length movie, it doesn't always maintain the energy of the cartoons that inspired it. Some of the jokes and situations work better than others, and there were stretches where I felt the premise was being stretched further than it needed to be. Still, I'm glad it finally got released instead of disappearing into a studio vault. It's fun, creative and respects the characters. I just didn't love it nearly as much as apparently everybody else did. Solid, entertaining, but nothing amazing.

i wonder why they never just decided to watch looney tunes in the courtroom, that seems like viable evidence to me
