It was considered one of the worst films ever back in the day, but recently I've heard it's nowhere near as bad as it's reputation makes it seem. Is it actually a good film or is it as bad as people said?

I have a friend who loves it, or at least used to, but I would never watch it with him.

I only know Ishtar because it was the number 1 movie in America when I was born.
Man, that's a depressing reality.

I know I have seen it at least once or twice,thru vhs or cable. But nothing about it stood out.
It was a average at best buddy road trip like comedy. But with a HUGE BUDGET. Which word got out before it;s release that the budget was huge and that I think kinda poisoned the well for it's theatrical run.

Yeah, it was more of a massive bomb in terms of the "budget-to-box office" ratio. The "worst ever" stuff just got tagged on later. It's okay. Not great, not really even that good, but not awful either.

I don't know, Ishizu is pretty cute and exotic from what I've seen of her.
Oh! That "Ishtar"

No, but thanks to Redlettermedia I've seen the Ishtar trailer dozens of times.

Its actually seen something of a critical reappraisal in the last decade or so, with most present day critics generally praising it.
It's also apparently one of Martin Scorsese's favourite movies.
