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.

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.

3.5/4

a sharp, satirical and silly excavation of the some of the ills that plague our culture, while paying loving tribute to the Looney Tunes, too.

Coyote vs. Acme is a fun, clever outing that mixes slapstick antics with unexpectedly dramatic interludes.

If you like cartoons, the world of Looney Tunes, clever courtroom sagas, or satire that sticks it to the man, you will likely adore this film.

This film’s leap into the legal world of this long-running battle offers a reason to hope the pair continue their race for decades to come or at least in another film this good.

Very funny, well done and good for folks who remember watching Roadrunner cartoons. I'm not sure today's kids would get many of the jokes.
