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.

Coyote vs. Acme

What to Know

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.

Adam Nayman The Ringer 1d
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

David O 2h A clever premise for a new live-action Looney Tunes entry while never talking down to the audience and paying homage to these long lasting characters in a tight package. But much like our wily protagonist, its almost there to being perfect if not for one last fumble, in the form of an immersion breaking deus ex machina, which is rich to say for something involving Looney Tunes, but it did take me out nonetheless. See more Urban Wizard 3h Best Looney Tunes Movie of all time The story was exceptionally heartfelt even though the production values weren't. It's WAY funnier than any of the original Looney Tunes shorts. The ending undermines the theme of the story. Ironically it was the only part of the story that disappointed me. Also Will Forte's acting could have been a bit better. See more Daniel Mendiola 4h Really great film, I recommended it See more Bobby 4h What a great movie, classic cartoon characters Wiley E Coyote and Road Runner and appearances by others brought to the silver screen. Good plot line, funny and a good cast of characters, human and cartoon. If you were a fan of Looney Tunes growing up this is a must watch. See more l 4h Definitely need to see in theaters! See more JD 5h Very fun film with lots of laugh out loud moments See more Read all reviews
