    A Must Watch!!!

    I loved it from beginning to end. Too bad real American Pirates are becoming extinct because of streaming services. I just had a blast with this film. I use to kwow real bootleg pirates and they were cool and funny like the film.

    Very underrated film

    I guess people just don't like Black and White films anymore. If you like great independent films like Clerks or Clerks 2, then you will love this film. They show the world of bootlegging through the eyes of three individuals who couldn't be any different. My favorite character is the police officer because he is a lovable loser.

    Fantastic Independent film

    The movie is in black and white and I think that's what made it a better film because it reminded me of Clerks, which I love. These characters are all losers but they try hard to achieve their dream even though they are going about it the wrong way, by selling illegal movies. I decided to watch this film because these guys made another film called Waiting For Howard Stern and it was a documentary about promoting this film, so I figured, what the heck. I'm so glad I did because it was great ride. Can't wait to see what they come up with next.

    Piracy never felt so good

    This is a weird subject for a film, but they did a good job telling the story of these 3 idiots trying to sell bootleg movies on the streets of NY. It is heartfelt and hilarious at times. A must see.

    The Three American Amigos

    This was a really cool original film. It's about these 3 morons who think that if they sell enough bootleg DVDs, they will raise enough money to make a real film so that they can stop being criminals. They are lovable losers who you root for even though they are on the wrong side of the law. I really enjoyed this film. It is a real jem.
