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.

4/5

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.

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.

The fact that Coyote vs. Acme even exists is a miracle and a testament to the power of filmmaking. Is it a masterpiece? No, but its infectious humor and charm make for an entertaining experience that has plenty of laughs for audiences of all ages.

5/5

The best animation meets real-life film since Who Framed Roger Rabbit. A brilliant plot that is funny, dramatic and best of all captures the old school Looney Tunes by also remaining modern. This is the best family film of the year.

8.5/10

It cooks on many levels. It's chaotic like a Looney Tunes film, but it also have themes that surprise you like friendship, camaraderie, and getting justice when you're wronged.

It’s hilarious. Go watch it in theaters. Especially if you loved Wile E Coyote and The Roadrunner when you were a kid.

Entertaining movie. Character development was lacking in the human characters. Had untapped potential. Scenes with Wiley E Coyote were fun.
