Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Majikat A silly comedy, but light entertaining film, raises a few smiles!

cicalinarrot 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.

SnoopyStyle Mexican village of Santo Poco is harassed by El Guapo and his bandits. Carmen goes in search for fighters to defend the village. She watches a Three Amigos movie and assumes that it is real. She telegrams an invitation to the Three Amigos; Lucky Day (Steve Martin), Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase) and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short). Lucky pushes the studio boss too far and gets all three fired. They misunderstand the telegram and assume they are being asked for a simple personal appearance. A German comes looking for El Guapo and misunderstandings ensue.I love this movie. I love these three actors and their easy chemistry. They are idiotic and lovable. Director John Landis keeps it simple and lets the stars shine. There are some good laughs but more than anything, this movie leaves me with a smile. I have seen some of the comedians who are suppose to be in this movie. They are all great but why I love these three guys is because they are loveably idiotic. They are dumb without any superiority. I really root for these guys.

utgard14 Underrated John Landis comedy with fun music. Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short star as three silent film stars who are asked to defend a Mexican town from bandits. A plot reminiscent of The Magnificent Seven. It's such a fun light-hearted movie I don't see why it has so many detractors. Perhaps the humor isn't crude enough. This is certainly one of Landis' least vulgar comedies. To me the movie has an old-school kind of charm about it. It's full of lots of great sight gags, memorable lines, and cute Randy Newman songs. It moves at a nice pace and seems to enjoy its story instead of overloading you with one "bit" after another. So give it a shot if you like Landis' work or the work of the three stars. It's one of my favorite 80s comedies.
