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

Here is a quirky, peculiar, yet strangely diverting live-action-toon hybrid of the kind that hasn’t been popular at the movies for many a day.

It’s fleet, funny, and self-aware without being smug. It’s a warmhearted, humorous take on a legal thriller more than anything else.

The self-reflexive satire of Coyote vs. Acme is complemented by the quality of its craftsmanship -- the live-action cinematography by Brandon Trost is wonderfully tactile -- and suffused by the abiding affection that it displays for its characters.

An inspired premise and some funny moments, particularly when it leans into slapstick.

Underneath the slapstick DNA, there's a surprisingly pointed thread running through this one. The Looney Tunes cast feels less like comic relief and more like a class of characters denied the basic justice the humans around them take for granted

9/10

A surprisingly sharp and sincere comedy that turns Looney Tunes chaos into a clever legal satire. Packed with inventive jokes, heart, and energy, Coyote vs. Acme proves that corporate absurdity can’t kill genuinely great filmmaking.

Couldn't stop smiling, laughing or whispering a teary awwww throughout each scene. I brought my kid who has SADLY never seen Looney Tunes & she didn't "get" what us fans from the 80s adore, love and dearly cherish about the Looney Tunes crew in its entirety. I'm telling everyone it's a MUST SEE film to add lots of laughs to your day. Superbly written! I am begging for more Looney Tunes movies in the future! Please, oh, pleasey please! I'm a genuine fan from back in the day of Saturday morning cartoons. Coyote vs. Acme is absolutely more comical than going to big-name comedy shows. And much cheaper! Go immediately and laugh your head off while revisiting the beloved characters of your youth. What a special film! I want to see it a dozen more times! I give 10 stars for entertainment value! I've never been enamored by any previous movie as much as this one. It's sooooo great and fabulous!
