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.

Directed by Dave Green and written by Samy Burch, the movie is a loving tribute to the idiosyncrasies of the “Looney Tunes” universe and its colorful characters, as well as a scathing takedown of megacorporations and their unsavory operations.

Here is a quirky, peculiar, yet strangely diverting live-action-toon hybrid of the kind that hasn’t been popular at the movies for many a day.

It’s fleet, funny, and self-aware without being smug. It’s a warmhearted, humorous take on a legal thriller more than anything else.

COYOTE VS. ACME achieves the surprising feat of injecting some real emotion into the proceedings without violating character essentials.

Coyote vs. Acme isn’t some brilliant satirical takedown nor a madcap, hilarious romp. It’s just quietly kind and respectably funny, which is more than enough to justify its existence.

We all need a reason to get out of bed in the morning, after all, and is an elusive bird any less noble a pursuit than a white whale?

Fun and nostalgic! More depth into the dynamic between the Coyote and the Road Runner was amazing and touching!

A terrific-looking movie with heart, convincing performances, and LOTS of great callbacks to the classic Looney Tunes / Warner Bros. cartoon classics. I’m sure I had a better time than the kids in the audience. Well worth watching!

Felt like a Loony Toons cartoon. Wiley Coyote was the funniest I’ve ever seen him, and I really like the bond between him and Roadrunner

As a lifetime Looney Tuner, this movie was superb! Lots of the old Acme product failures and few new ways for the coyote to get hurt. Even with that, movie had a lot of heart to it. Im hoping theres an alternate ending that has Wile walking down the road with a KFC bucket under one arm and munching on a chicken leg in the other hand with the RR doing his trademark Zoom.
