Coyote vs. Acme

Wile E. Coyote has finally had enough of gadgets that misfire in his endless pursuit of the Roadrunner, and his answer this time is not another scheme but a lawsuit. Turning decades of slapstick injury into a courtroom grievance against the Acme Corporation is a genuinely funny idea, and the setup promises cartoon physical comedy running alongside the deadpan machinery of litigation: a billboard lawyer, a corporate giant, and a client who cannot stop chasing a bird.

Aimed squarely at families and anyone raised on the old shorts, it clips along across a tidy hour and forty-three, alternating gag sequences with the more grown-up comedy of a legal underdog story. Expect affection for the source cartoons rather than irony at their expense, and jokes pitched to land on both sides of the sofa. If you want something silly with a real premise underneath it, this is a bright, cheerful pick for a shared evening.
