Rating: PG
This is one of my all-time favorite movies starring three of my all-time favorite actors. If you're in the mood for a simple feel-good funny movie, go pick this one up!
This movie starts off similar to The Man Who Knew Too Little but doesn't stick with the "clueless protagonist" thing for nearly as long. ¡Three Amigos! is essentially a perfect combination of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase being goof balls in "Santa Poco" Mexico. They even end up saving the tiny village and the damsel in distress. All the while we get to laugh at their ridiculous costumes and all around oblivious pseudo-vaquero shenanigans. Don't forget the legendary "My Little Buttercup" scene!
If, for some reason, you haven't seen this movie, get a move on!

CONTENT: This movie runs away with a PG rating for mild sexual humor, comedic violence, several minor expletives and consumption of alocohol.
¡Three Amigos! earns 4 out of 4 Popcorn Buckets™
