Dirty Rotten Scoundrels/Three Amigos (Maximum 80s)

Advantages: Clever Story, very funny in parts
Disadvantages: Theatrical trailer only extra, few real belly laughs

.... The film is well paced too so there is a good story in the 1hr 45 minutes. There is, however, something slightly lacking in order to make this unmissable but it is enjoyable and definitely worth a look. Availability 5.99 with play.com. If you prefer something which is more outrageous and in your face, then Dirty Rotten Scoundrels may not be to your taste. Extras Scene selection, theatrical trailer - so basically there are no extras!... Read review

...There is a similar theme to this film as with the others: bombs, Bruce Willis, Dirty t-shirts and foreigners with weird accents, however what is there not to love about this film.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a remake of a 1960's film which starred David Niven and Marlon Brando playing the leading roles. Set in a fictional, French resort Michael Caine as Laurence Jamieson has been making a good living by way of duping gullible females out of their cash. In league with the local head of police, played by Anton Rogers, he has a nice little earner set up. When Freddy Benson, played by Steve Martin, arrives in town with pretty much the same mission in mind things start to go wrong. The town of Beaumont-sur-Mer is just not big enough for two...
