Movie Review - The Three Amigos

Today is "The Three Amigos"

Starring Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short

One for each other and all for one, the three brave amigos carry on with their glitzy high rolling, show business career. Despite the fact that they're out of work, hated by their managers, made fun of by German warlords, exposed to ungrateful poor folks, mocked by gun-wielding cowboys and given a light watered down version of beer at a Mexican cantina, they are full of entertainment value! Nevermind that one particular Mexican gang leader wants them dead and a mislead villager has them riding and proclaiming their Amigo lines, and singing in a stuffy room full of unfortunate souls who were visited by an ugly stick. They become their own characters with great honor. Aside from the fact that none of them know where they are, none of them know how to summon invisible swordsmen, or talk to singing bushes and only one of them remembers to bring the lip-balm.

The German warlords meet up with the Mexican gang and they plan to plunder (for the millionth time) the small village of Santa Poco. With the Three Amigos on the villagers side, the bad guys lose due to excessive stupidity, complete bad taste and emotional problems stemming from childhood movie viewings that lead some to believe the nature of the wild West as shown to them through Hollywood. The bad guys also lose because none of them knew how to sew like the wind.

This has been my Movie Review. Salute!
