Los Angeles Times
[Three Amigos is] a goofy delight. It's like a cross between a big-budget Three Stooges movie and a Hope-Crosby road picture, with dozens of old cowpoke gags thrown in to spice up the brew.

¡Three Amigos!
Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short star in this western comedy written by Martin, Randy Newman and SNL creator Lorne Michaels. Directed by John Landis (The Blues Brothers).
Martin, Chase and Short are three washed up actors who are invited to a Mexican town to reprise their old bandit roles, unbeknownst to them that what they will be participating in is far from an act.

Variety
A few choice morsels of brilliant humour can't save Three Amigos! from missing the whole enchilada.

If you enjoy brainless slapstick that allows space for irrelevant absurdities like a singing bush and an invisible swordsman, it's entertaining enough.

The New York Times
Three Amigos is likable, but it never really finds a distinctive style. Not quite parody and not quite serious, it's more like a lengthy costume party.

Roger Ebert
All great farces need a certain insane focus, an intensity that declares how important they are to themselves. This movie is too confident, too relaxed, too clever to be really funny.
