The film “¡Three Amigos!” delivers an engaging blend of comedy and Western tropes, punctuated by the charismatic performances of Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. While the plot offers a whimsical take on mistaken identity, the humor, which hinges on the absurdity of the situation, may not resonate with all. Nonetheless, it provides light entertainment suitable for a family movie night, particularly for those who enjoy slapstick and parody.
