Back in the day before RT, it was Ishtar. My parents loved that movie.

Wow is that article ever terrible. They stated the same thing several different ways for the word count.

There is nothing wrong with Ishtar as a film. It's not perfect, but it's actually a decent comedy. The problem is that the production ran over budget by such a huge amount that it killed Elaine May's directing career and it became a meme even before memes were a thing.
