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.

To see something like this, entertaining and poignant and daring, be chucked by a major studio for a tax write-off should scare every movie lover.

I don't know about you, but I have to love any movie that's clever enough to turn Wile E. Coyote into a role model.

Directed by Dave Green and written by Samy Burch, the movie is a loving tribute to the idiosyncrasies of the “Looney Tunes” universe and its colorful characters, as well as a scathing takedown of megacorporations and their unsavory operations.

Go see Coyote vs. Acme to be reminded that a group of children laughing is the best sound in the world, and a group of people laughing have more power than most people would like to admit.

It’s also a Looney Tunes-tinged commentary about how the out-of-touch men with Foghorn Leghorn energy are ruining the world with their corporate greed and soulless capitalistic erections.

Rarely does a film arrive in theaters with as much hype as Coyote vs. Acme, simply by virtue of existing. It's no surprise that... it doesn’t entirely live up to that hype. Nevertheless, it’s a pleasant boon to the human spirit.
