Looney Tunes: Back in Action : Movie Review


There’s a scene near the end of Joe Dante’s Looney Tunes movie where a beleaguered Wile E. Coyote ends up behind the wheel of a locomotive that’s loaded to the gills with dynamite. Seconds before an explosion reduces him to a smoldering pile of ashes for the umpteenth time, he holds up a sign that reads, “They don’t pay me enough.”

My sentiments exactly, pal. The Federal Reserve couldn’t pay you enough to sit through Technicolor gobbledygook like this. Dante has a technical feat on his hand, crafting a vigorous cartoon hybrid that seamlessly merges beloved Warner Bros. animated characters with unlucky C-list actors who apparently made their agents very angry and are being punished.
