Overview

Wile E. Coyote finally gets a lawyer. After decades of defective rockets and exploding anvils, he sues Acme Corporation in a live-action hybrid comedy starring John Cena, Lana Condor, and Will Forte. The Leans Progressive label comes primarily from the film's corporate satire angle. Using a beloved cartoon rivalry as its frame, the story puts a monopolistic mega-corporation on trial, a premise that leans into skepticism about big business and consumer exploitation. The Looney Tunes wrapper keeps things family-friendly and cross-generational, softening the political edge considerably. No identity or social justice themes drive the rating. The label is almost entirely about who the villain is: Acme, not any individual.
