Three Amigos
1986
**½
Director: John Landis
Cast: Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Martin Short, Patrice Martinez
A desperate Mexican woman mistakes three silent movie stars for real heroes and hires them to protect her village from a bad guy named El Guapo, but the Three Amigos believe they are putting on a show. This sympathetic comedy has its enjoyable moments, but its script doesn't make any sense at times and the pacing feels very slow even by 80s comedy standards. Randy Newman wrote the amusing songs.
