Three Amigos has aged incredibly well, and is still as hilarious as ever.

OK, OK, OK. It's funny. While Steve Martin has remained consistently funny, we get to see Short and Chase before they became hit or miss.

Your enjoyment of Three Amigos! is likely to rely heavily on what you think of Steve Martin's sense of humour... and thankfully I love it. Mixing an almost-plausible story with delightfully silly asides (i.e. the invisible swordsman), Martin & Chase hit their marks perfectly throughout and this delivery is what really makes it. Often had me guffawing, occasionally giggling uncontrollably, and I was grinning as the credits rolled: what else do you want from a comedy?

I laughed often. With leads like Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short, you are bound to find some entertainment. If you like any of those leads, this is probably just for you.

Goofy and corny, but it's fun and has held up surprisingly well.

Career peak for Chevy Chase, Martin Short and Steve Martin, Three Amigos is nonstop silly fun.

I hate this movie. Steve Martin and Martin Short combine to make a cinematic disaster. 2 of the most unfunny people I've ever seen.

I probably wouldn't like this much anymore, but as a 12 year old boy, it was pretty hilarious.

Tropic Thunder will be amazing.

It's silly-funny rather than genuinely hilarious, but Martin's antics are always worth watching, and it's good-natured enough to sustain its ultimately thin premise.

Yiannos | 63 53rd |
A skit dragged out to feature length, it has strong nostalgic appeal for people who grew up watching Chase/Martin/Short, and there are definitely some funny moments, but there is no denying the lack of wit or the feeling that Chase in particular was just coasting on his reputation. Landis' direction is merely serviceable, even if it's a damn sight better than Spies Like Us.He got lucky with the cast and the novelty of the premise, and the chemistry between the three stars papers over the cracks.

How could you not like the combination of prime Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short (in that order)? The setting of them as silent film stars is a bit odd since they never acted like people from that era. However, the outfits and their ability to push through dumb setups elevated an otherwise predictable story. Fav scene: them doing their stupid Macarena dance with the pelvic thrust in front of actual bandits.
