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).

What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review

It's the laziness of the project that's finally most galling. Go to Full Review
Patrick Goldstein Los Angeles Times 04/25/2014
[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. Go to Full Review

bob C @RT46426964 4d Amusing period piece from the 1980s. See more Michael G @RT67953018 4d The Three Amigos was terrible. It''s a mostly humourless comedy based on the magnificent seven. The a-grade cast was wasted on a b-grade movie with a c-grade plot and c-grade screenplay. The actors must have been paid well to deliver such woeful punchlines. See more D3Z 1 @RT51637195 Jan 6 Even though the Three Amigos is not perfect by all means, it still makes it up with its fun and enjoyable cast in which Chase, Martin and Short all delivered the laughs. See more Amy G @Amytheshort Dec 16 Great cast. A little campy bit 80s campy. Its enjoyable with all its jokes. See more Pete W @RT56398213 Aug 22 One of my favorite movies. The cast is legendary and it's got a plethora of quotable lines. See more Wesley H. @historynerdnumber1 Jul 19 This is amazing I don’t know why people hate it and it’s a COMEDY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE PAINFUL TO WATCH See more Read all reviews
