      It is about 3 mental patients who participate in a Christmas Play

      I loved this movie. It has a wonderful ending. I was unable to view it on TV because I was attending a meeting for parent's with troubled teenagers, so I recorded the movie to watch later. I watched it once but forgot to take it out of the VCR and accidentally recorded over it. I would love to see this excellent Christmas Movie again. I can't believe that it has not been made into a DVD for Christmas viewing of so many people who have not been able to watch it. Nor has it been shown again on TV. I would love to see it again.Please tell me that there is a way I can see this wonderful movie with Lou Diamond Phillips, one of my favorite actors again. I am confined to bed and one of my few pleasures is watching TV or DVD's.

      This movie is about 3 mental patients who play 3 kings in a Christmas Pageant. They ride real camels who run away with them on a wild trip through the city until they finally meet a pregnant woman needing help.

      Three mental patients attempt to find Christ child

      This wonderful Christmas movie comes to mind every year and I would love to see it again. ABC must have a copy somewhere and they should definitely rebroadcast it. Anyone found it on DVD yet? The three mental patients who believe they are the wise men in search of the Christ child are endearing and funny. As things get totally out of wack in their misadventure, one wonders if things will end well...I mostly remember the bond developed between these three men, the way the world misunderstands their intentions, and their attempts to "fix" things. I seem to remember that there was even a real camel involved or was that a horse? My mind is foggy on lots about this movie that came out in 1987, but know it's worth another look!

      Great Movie For Christmas

      This movie is a GREAT Christmas movie. Lou Diamond Phillips was what I consider a newbie to the screens and was wonderful in this. My family and I had a copy off the TV and have lost it. We would love to be able to find another copy. This movie showed a very different perspective of "The Three Kings" and the journey they made to find the Christ Child. I think it is a movie that should be re-released at Christmas time. It is one of those movies that after you watch it, you really remember it. I first saw it in 1987 and still to this day love it and could re-watch it and find more detail to it that I missed the several other times I have seen it. I have tried to locate a copy of it but have had no luck. If anyone has a copy feel free to respond and let me know if you are will to share it.

      One of my favorite Christmas movies!

      This is one of my favorite Christmas movies ever! My parents recorded it when I was a kid, and we used to watch it every year. It's a really good story about three patients from a mental hospital who dress up as the three kings for a Christmas pageant and end up going to look for Baby Jesus. This movie is a good reminder of what Christmas is really all about, and I really wish they'd put it out on DVD. I saw it for sale on DVD on some foreign website, but I was naturally skeptical about how trustworthy the place was, and of course not all DVDs are viewable in all regions anyway. I was hoping that since it was for sale in a foreign country, they'd put it on DVD in the US not long after that, but no such luck. If you have the chance to watch this movie sometime, do it--you won't regret it!

      I loved The Three Kings

      This movie was so funny . I would love to see it again and it hasn't been back on TV since the first time. My mom and I laughed so much. We truly enjoyed it.The movie was really a stress reliever in such a stressful season of shopping , rushing around, and baking. It was just fun sitting down and taking a break and being able to watch something so funny. I love the movie Airplane and I would put this in the same category as Airplane except this one is Christmas. The Three Kings is still listed as one of my favorite Christmas movies. I would love to own it. I loved Lou Diamond Phillips in the movie. I thought all of the actors did a really good job. I wish they would put it back on TV or release it on DVD.
