Ishtar


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: No

This one's a little notorious. A reputation as a massive bomb, and yet I found it alright. I've heard many people defend it and while I wouldn't say it's great, it's certainly on par with other farces from the era and Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty as a song writing team are rather hilarious. It's pretty over the top, what with the C.I.A. mix up and the rebels and all that stuff and perhaps its comedic style was even too outdated for 1987 but it's certainly not as terrible as I was expecting.
