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

The animation has all the verve of the old cartoons but overall the production lacks the deadpan wit that makes Frazier’s short piece so funny.

3.5/5

The movie reinterprets the Coyote/Road Runner relationship, finding nobility in Coyote's failure and something almost mythic in the Road Runner. It’s funny, too.

If this is the Looney Tunes’ last act, it just might be their most poignant, proving there’s forever a space for childish whimsy, even in a world that seems more desolate by the day.

The result is a highly entertaining and often very funny movie that will possibly leave long-time fans of the characters scratching their heads a little

4/5

The result is surprising in its vibrancy, its mischievousness, and its propensity for throwing human beings into ditches. [Full review in Spanish]
