Coyote vs. Acme

Coyote vs. Acme is playing at the Kennedy School Theater in Concordia on Monday, October 12, with the screening starting at 7 PM. It's a movie that takes a character we've all known for decades and puts him in a situation he's never been in before.

The story follows Wile E. Coyote, who, after Acme products fail him one too many times in his pursuit of the Roadrunner, decides to hire a billboard lawyer and sue the Acme Corporation. It's a premise that turns the whole cartoon on its head: instead of chasing the bird, he's taking the company that sold him the gear to court. The film runs 1 hour and 43 minutes and is rated PG, so it works as a night out with friends or a family trip.

Behind the camera is director Dave Green, and the cast brings together a few familiar faces. Will Forte, Lana Condor, Tone Bell, and John Cena all have roles in the story, so you'll recognize them alongside the title character. It's a mix of voices and styles that fits a movie built around a courtroom battle.

If you're planning to go, the screening is at the Kennedy School Theater in the Concordia neighborhood of Portland. It starts at 7 PM on Monday, October 12, and runs for 1 hour and 43 minutes.
