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.

It draws on the brand’s legacy of silly antics, chaotic set-pieces and a wicked sense of humour.

However well received, the movie is hardly a blockbuster. In its anti-corporate, relative commercial purity Coyote vs. Acme serves as a corrective to a previous Warner Bros. product, namely the egregious Space Jam.

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.

It also just a wonderful parable about not giving up. We each endure our Sisyphean struggles because we know how good it will feel when we finally push that boulder over the hill. So, never stop trying. You can do it.

Funny and heartfelt throughout. Forte and Wil E. are a hilarious pair.

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.

Funniest and most heartfelt movie ive seen in awhile. It's truly a miracle it came to screens and Im glad it did. The message of hope despite countless failure is desperately needed right now.
