Review:
Tim: This isn't a particularly funny movie, which isn't great for a comedy. I wish I could have hated it more, but the fact of the matter is, there's something impressive about seeing three comedic actors like Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. These three men get along very well, and it's pretty funny to see them together.

The fact of the matter is, this film is just stupid. There's very little sophisticated humor here. Now, some of the stupid humor will make you laugh. Most of it won't. Luckily, these three men (more Chase and Martin than Short) are excellent comedic actors and are able to pull a few laughs out of us.

Three Amigos is a decent comedy, but not particularly funny. It's not a terrible way to spend a few hours, though.
