Ishtar is a film about two songwriters who go to Morocco and get involved in the political intrigues of a mythical nation. The film has no plot, no humor, and no chemistry between the two stars, who play dumb and look exhausted. Roger Ebert calls it a lifeless, massive, lumbering exercise in failed comedy.
