I just don't understand...


How can the rating for this movie be so low?

It is one of the most unoffensively funny films ever. Personally, I cannot fault it in anyway.

This, for me at least, should be in the top 250!!!

reply

Seconded!

Agreed. I love showing movies that kill me to family and friends and just have them just sit and blink, looking uncomfortable while I laugh.

I think you either love it or hate it.

how could you hate it!


Watching the people get lairy

Ebert did but he also hated Raising Arizona so his taste in comedies can clearly not be trusted.









I did sixty in five minutes once...

There are comedies he likes. I was surprised about Raising Arizona though. Need to see him and Gene talk about it on the website. Bet it was another good argument.

It's the perfect comedy. There are a bunch of comedies that are just as funny, but don't have the happiness part down as well in that they aren't shot as well or too dark or lack the music or whatnot, but The three amigos has it all. It's one of those films that are laugh out loud hilarious and will keep you in a good mood throughout (and anyone from any age can enjoy). Don't worry though, look at the top 100 where any recent movie that's decent or contains lots of slow motion action scenes makes it.

I was about the start a topic stating the same thing. Unfortunately it's not some wrong that can be righted by the admins here, so I'll go off and give it a high rating now even though it won't have much impact on the total score. I mean, it's got the rating of some forgotten 80s comedy that sits in the back of a rental store collecting dust on its VHS sleeve. WASSUPWITDAT!

Yes I agree I saw the movie this morning , and on my ride to work tried to get a gauge on what the ratign would be I would have said 7.0 at the lowest but expected a high 7 rating. I can see not loving it, but how could you not at least find it cute.

It wasn't exactly a big hit when it came out at Christmas 1986. Think about it.

reply

Agreed. I found it quite funny. I gave it an eight out of 10.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

reply

Cosign 100%, this movie is just CLASSSIC!
Loved it when i was younger, love it now (:
