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.

4/5

Director Dave Green... has done a fine job with cast and cartoon to create a film that's fast, clever and, in the end, surprisingly moving.

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.

The film might lack some of the edge and laugh-out-loud humour of... Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That said, the screenplay - basically: What if Erin Brockovich or The Verdict but with Looney Tunes? - is amusingly silly while also being genuinely witty.

Coyote vs. Acme is a near-perfect film, hilarious with heart to spare.

Another fun movie with a different kind of vibe. I wish there was slightly more at stake. Another David vs Goliath style movie.

The plot was excellent and the movie was hilarious, especially if you grew up watching these cartoons. Awesome cameo appearances by your faves.

One of the best movies I’ve seen in a while! Very funny, especially if you grew up watching these. But also a well done critique of everything from big business, to the military industrial complex, to the destruction of marginalized communities, to even more recent events that they won’t let me post. Go see it!

Great spin on a classic, and John Cena was in it. I could see him but it was a great movie.
