It has already been mentioned, but Ishtar was excruciatingly horrible (1987). The advertising leading up to its highly anticipated release built it up as the movie of the decade.....a can't miss. My buddy and I saw it on opening night and were sooooo disappointed. It was very tough not to walk out, but we thought it may get better as we watched.......wrong. The reviews that followed in the next few days were devastating...and very much deserved. Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty probably still recoil at its mention. A real $51 million clunker (box office $14.4).
