That was an excellent one.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

10 stars is really to much, I'd give a solid 7 or even 8 if people were less black-or-white on this stupid site. This movie really has an old-times comedy vibe. It doesn't have a lot of gags and they mostly try to make you sincerely smile instead of making you laugh your lungs out. So it's silly but it's also pretty refined while doing it. It features some great talents, it's a parody of westerns but that's not the only purpose of the movie, it's... great at what it was meant to do. I feel like, since it's comedy, people expected today's standards or even 80s laugh-your-lungs-out standards (like "Airplane!" or something). Guess what, their expectations don't define the movie's goodness and there's a lot of it.

THREE AMIGOS is one of those amiable, ensemble comedy hits of the 1980s, well directed by John Landis and coming in just behind his horror classics like AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and INNOCENT BLOOD. The casting of Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short as the heroic trio is irresistable and I loved the nod to silent-era filmmaking. In terms of plotting, this is a virtual reprise of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, with a trio of incompetent actors kicking up a storm in a small Mexican village beset by bandits. The jokes come thick and fast and there are some highlight set-pieces like the bit with Martin in the prison cell that really work. I particularly enjoyed the surrealist moment with the singing bush and invisible swordsman, quite genius. Another surprise is that the action scenes are very well directed and just as good as those seen in mainstream westerns.

Three amigos may not be John Landis's best work but it is a enjoyable movie. The film, spoofing movies like seven samurai and the magnificent seven, has a number of good jokes and good acting from Steve Martin and Chevy chase. Martin short not so much.Landis claims the studio took it out of he's control and it shows because compared to Animal house and Blues brothers, it's nothing special. But three amigos is funny watch that I recommend you watch though don't go out of you're to. The is currently available on Netflix as of July 2014

From the three buffoonic Amigos to el Guapo and his sweater-knitting henchmen, this farcical comedy-western is a mindless journey of snickers and chuckles. Make no mistake, this movie IS stupid -- on purpose. The singing bush?...the Invisible Swordsman?...campfire-singing animals?...please. But the comedic brilliance of Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short sells even the silliest shtick.On the other hand, there are some classic pieces and one-liners in here that demonstrate the film's writing depth, which shouldn't be overlooked, including the surprisingly deep relationship between el Guapo (Alfonso Arau) and his right-hand-man, Jefe (Tony Plana).All in all, you don't really watch this to digest a movie and follow the evolution of characters, you watch it in chunks as skit after skit that affords endless enjoyment if you allow it.So give it a go and have fun...you might be surprised.
