Three cowboy movie stars from the silent era -- Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase), Lucky Day (Steve Martin) and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) -- are fired when one of their movies bombs. In what seems to be a career-saving offer, young Mexican woman Carmen (Patrice Martinez) offers them a high-paying gig in her village. The three jump at the opportunity, expecting to do their typical act, but Carmen believes they are really heroes and asks them to rid her village of bad guy El Guapo (Alfonso Arau).

Critics Consensus

Three Amigos! stars a trio of gifted comedians and has an agreeably silly sense of humor, but they're often adrift in a dawdling story with too few laugh-out-loud moments.

It's a classic built on the format of Seven Samurai, but a lot more fun. Enjoy the popcorn and a few good laughs delivered by comedy legends.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Fun movie. Great acting by three comedic actors at the top of their game. A little long winded at time but a good parody of early hollywood and westerns.

Always a comfort, feel-good movie. I used to watch it all the time with my dad, and we had the entire thing memorized. "You killed the invisible swordsman!" He even put our favorite parts on a cassette tape (early-mid 90's kid here). My dad passed away two months ago, and I can't help but wish I had watched this with him one last time. I don't think I've seen it in decades. Pagemaster and Three Amigos, those were our movies. So anyway. Nostalgia factor is huge, but also a cute and hilarious movie.

If Three Amigos is disappointing, it's because the people involved have ail done better work in the past. But it's not all bad.

It's the laziness of the project that's finally most galling.

[Three Amigos is] a goofy delight. It's like a cross between a big-budget Three Stooges movie and a Hope-Crosby road picture, with dozens of old cowpoke gags thrown in to spice up the brew.
