Thankfully the comedy stylings of Steve Martin, Chevy Chase & Martin Short holds up even better than I thought it would in this funny homage to The Magnificent Seven.
Three half-witted heroes of the silent films are hired by a small town in Mexico, who believe they're the real thing, to protect them from a gang of thugs robbing the citizens of everything they're worth. The silliness is piled on pretty heavily, while the messy script feels like they were like "let's do this next" and never give it a second thought but it's the likeability of the leading trio that makes the whole thing come together. It's a reasonably harmless slice of good-natured fun that's near impossible to resist.
