CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Majikat A silly comedy, but light entertaining film, raises a few smiles!
John Brooks Martin, Short and Chase. A sort of at-the-time hot comedian combination in a pretty well crafted mainstream comedy.The laughs could be assessed as just about average, that being above totally uninspired, momentum-dead filler gags. It's okay funny overall, definitely enjoyable. There are peaks, but no low drops. It remains fine all along.The premise is pretty funny in itself, and is really a difficult effort to maintain: how are the movie-creators going to have those lead characters, three idiot loser actors, actually save the day ? A pretty good effort. 6.5/10.
bkoganbing Three Amigos casts Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short as three Latino cowboy heroes of the silent screen where their obvious Anglo speech patterns will not distract from the image they create. Their actors and have the egos and fragilities of Hollywood cowboys. But they also know they're Hollywood cowboys and don't take themselves too seriously.But in a plot gambit taken from The Magnificent Seven, there's a village in 1916 revolutionary anarchic Mexico that's being plagued by a bandit named El Guapo and his gang. Like kids they take their cowboy heroes seriously and they expect these three to act like their screen images.Not so easy for these guys to do that, but once they get going they're actually inspiring in their own ways. Not to mention that in Chase, Martin, and Short you have three of the very best from the training ground of Saturday Night Live. Individually and collectively they make a very good comedy premise come to life.Best scene is in that Mexican bar when the patrons are told three distinctive tough guys are coming to town and even though these guys break into My Little Buttercup for the crowd, the patrons still act scared.How do they rid the town of El Guapo. Why have the villagers use their own special talents. What they are and how they are employed is for you to see Three Amigos and laugh your heads off.
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!
