Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 06/02/2009 Run time: 108 minutes Rating: PgThree Western stars (Martin Short, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase) from Hollywood silent films go to Mexico for what they assume will be a publicity appearance, and find they’ve actually been summoned to fight a local bandit. John Landis directed this 1986 comedy with self-conscious artifice, and it’s hard to get into his self-congratulatory joke. Even the three main stars, brilliant comics all, can’t sustain anything funny in it. –Tom Keogh

This movie is probably the worst comedy I’ve seen in ten years. Every jokes are predictable and are completely lame. These three guys pretend to be the best, but the best of what? If it’s for their annoying and boring capabilities, they sure are the best. I waste over an hour and a half, waiting for good jokes and big laugh’s but they never came. My advice, buy anything but this movie. I never thought a movie could be that bad.

Just saw this on TV today after seeing in the theater in 1986. It was a dud then and it is a dud now. I took a first date to see this in 1986 and neither of us laughed except for one or 2 scenes(The canteen and lip balm scene for one). I wanted to walk out but being a first date I didn’t. The girl I had a date with seemed to be in a stupor watching the movie( I see why) the whole time and I was too embarrased to ask her out again. Chevy Chase(who I really like in the Vacation movies) has less lines than Martin Short or Steve Martin – Why? He seems to be wasted and playing a bit part. I do not understand all the great reviews here or on the movie data base – were you watching the same movie I did? The jokes are few and far between(and not very funny) and the movie moves at a snail’s pace. I was thinking about buying this for Chevy Chase but have changed my mind. I read somehere that Chase didn’t like this movie himself and it shows – he looks bored a lot just standing around with few lines. I would rate the worst Vacation movie(Vegas Vacation) 100 times better than this odd movie.

after watching this movie in school last week, and then reading some of the reviews i am seriously wondering if we were watching the same movie. the three amigos was such a waste of time. my class and i all agree that it would of been better doing work then watching this “comedy” and now we have to write a report on this comedy in this movie, i am still wondering what part of it was meant to be funny!
