Fan & Critic Buzz

Viewer Reviews (TMDb)
It may not look the way classic animation fans want it to look. Still, *Coyote vs. ACME* is worthwhile for its ingenuity in both its homage to old cartoons and its clever storytelling, and seeing where your favorite *Looney Tunes* character fits into this wacky universe. https://…
Chris Sawin · 6/10Come to think of it, I'm surprised that in the super-litigious US of A it took almost a century for anyone to cotton that "ACME" products were rubbish! Well now "Wile E. Coyote" has had his fill of things blowing up in his face and decided to employ lawyer "Avery" (Will Forte) to…
CinemaSerf · 6/10I read an article inspired by this movie. It said top 10 anti-capitalist films like this movie. It included They Live. This movie is about a comically evil corporation headed by my favourite John Cena. John Cena is cool. Will Forte is cool. Jubilee from X-Men Apocalypse is cool.…

That’s because I remember what cartoons were like when I was growing up as a Baby Boomer, and I loved them (especially Looney Tunes). In fact, in my view, most of today’s headache-inducing animation is overly manic and overly silly, r…
Brent Marchant · 7/10The Acme Corporation has finally met an adversary it can’t flatten with an anvil: a courtroom, and the result is an unexpectedly charming Looney Tunes comedy in *Coyote vs. Acme*. The premise is inspired: after yet another Acme product goes spectacularly wrong, Wile E. Coyote tak…
TheFilmCritics.org · 7/10Coyote vs. Acme is a genuinely fun surprise. The gimmick — Wile E. Coyote suing Acme Corp for decades of faulty products, staged as a courtroom dramedy — could've been a one-joke premise, but it earns its laughs by taking the legal-thriller framing semi-seriously. John Cena is a…
Nick · 7/10*Coyote vs. Acme* finally got released after Warner Bros. tried to shelve the project for a $30 million tax write-off. It is exactly as I expected it to be: Funny, action-packed, emotional, and self-aware. The blend of live-action and animation is really cool because the real hum…
