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.

Every film fan who campaigned for its release is now at their come-to-Jesus moment, owing it to the filmmakers to get out and see it at all costs. |

That’s reason enough to see it. But it’s also, quite simply, a good time that kids and adults alike will enjoy. |

The Space Jams are a low bar, but The Day the Earth Blew Up was really funny and Back in Action was underrated. Coyote vs. Acme is even sharper. |

The jokes in the film vary from big physical gags, background jokes, sharply-written one-liners, and Easter eggs for Looney Tunes fans. |
