ThiefHott Too much of everything

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

emalafeew Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase at the height of their comedic powers. The story is sweet, the supporting cast is uniformly terrific, the musical bits are wonderful, and the lines--this is the most quotable movie you will ever watch. The spoof of old westerns is spot on, look for saloon railings that obviously break away from being pre-sawed, bad guys not noticing good guys being "stealthy", and some excellent animal acting. Will put a smile on your face at any age, every time. And IMDb, please don't recommend City Slickers II if you like this movie. Maybe Galaxy Quest.

Mr-Fusion I can't even count how many times I watched "¡Three Amigos!" as a kid. I threw out lines in everyday speech, did the pelvic thrust salute, everything. And watching this as an adult, I found the lines coming back like no time had passed. The cast (across the board) is utterly perfect; these roles seem like they were written specifically for the three leads. And it's not just them; Alfonso Arau was born to play El Guapo. What he does with that role is golden. The script plays like a one-liner factory and several scenes are burned into my subconscious: the studio burglary, the singing bush, the campsite ("Goodnight, Ned!"), the canteen gag in the desert. "¡Three Amigos!" is hilarious to this day, and I don't think I'll ever tire of this movie. Total classic.8/10

FlashCallahan When silent film stars Lucky Day, Dusty Bottoms and Ned Nederlander get fired, they take a job offer from Mexico, doing a show with El Guapo, supposedly the most famous actor there. Traveling there in expecting good money, they arrive only to learn that El Guapo is a cruel gang leader suppressing people. He abducts the mayor's daughter Carmen, in revenge for the people's cry for help. Now, all hopes of the village folks rest on the weak shoulders of three actors.....Martin was one the biggest comedy actors at the time of this film, as were Chase and Short, so they could do anything they wanted, and with Landis at the helm, that's exactly what they did.The film is way ahead of its time, and its almost Monty Python in its execution, meaning that many of the jokes would go over most people's heads. The first act is pretty slow, but its the build up to the main event.As soon as the Amigos enter Mexico, the film ups its game, and it turns into something not as generic as you would have been led to believe, eg. Its not a studio safe comedy.From singing bushes, invisible swordsman, and song and dance numbers, the movie is beyond bonkers and the three leads play it straight all the way.Its not your typical eighties comedy, hence the poor box office, but its a funny movie, a great companion piece to Tropic Thunder.

thismeensyou Three Amigos is definitely one of the funniest films of all time! I have created a facebook page for Amigo Fest! coming soon to Virginia! LIKE us on Facebook to receive updates and info on the upcoming fest! Amigo Fest will be a celebration of all things Three Amigos! It will include costumes, games & a viewing of the film at a local "cantina" in Charlottesville, VA! In the same vein as the successful Lebowskifests, it will be a party not to miss. Would I say there will be a plethora of pinatas? Perhaps. A "My Little Buttercup" sing-a-long? Who knows? A lot of tequila (it's like beer)? Absolutely! Join the community and maybe we'll see you there!
