Lucky Day (Steve Martin), Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase), and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) are three actors that are dubbed The Three Amigos. They have done a host of films with various titles all stemming from the word Amigos. Maybe because it's 1916, or maybe it's because she's never seen a movie before, or maybe it's because she was that desperate--in any case, when Carmen (Patrice Martinez) saw the Three Amigos on screen fighting crime she figured they could help her village drive out a bad bandito named El Guapo (Alfonso Arau). In a classic case of misunderstanding/misrepresenting, the Three Amigos were more than happy to go to Mexico to the little village of Santo Poco to "put on a show." Carmen was looking for The Magnificent Seven while the Three Amigos were more like the Three Blind Mice.
The movie was silly enough to let it be. No need to analyze or dissect, just watch. There were some right funny scenes in there even if the entire movie didn't keep me laughing. Martin, Chase, and Short worked well as a trio. The outfits, the antics, and the story were all humorous. Olé Three Amigos.
