It seems to lack something on first viewing--where's the third act, anyway?--but Albert Brooks's Lost in America is one of those movies that people keep quoting to each other long after they've seen it. And no one has come up with a more incisive look at the phenomenon of the '80s yuppie, a figure toward whom Brooks manages to aim both his satire and his sympathy. The bushy-haired, tightly-wound actor plays a well-paid L.A. executive who quits his job in a fit of pique when he fails to land a promotion. Armed with their savings, he and the wife (Julie Hagerty) buy a Winnebago and hit the road; they're going to search for America and find themselves. Right. They get as far as Las Vegas, where Hagerty has a little problem at the gaming tables. Brooks's rant on the concept of "the nest-egg" goes right into the comedy hall of fame, and his scene with a casino manager (Garry Marshall, underplaying beautifully) is a masterpiece of wheedling desperation. Somehow amidst the comedy, Brooks captures the panic beneath the upwardly-mobile go-go American guy, circa 1985. The open road will never be the same. --Robert Horton

If you're thinking of quitting your job, moving to Timbuktu, and starting fresh, this movie is just for you. It's one of our favorites to watch when we're feeling rather hum-drum about our life.

There is one F-bomb in the beginning, but as for one who doesn't use this word, it was actually appropriate in the context. Nowadays this would be rated PG-13. After the F-bomb, there's nothing ...

Funny to some but aggravating for me. I like a definitive & a direct communicator in movie characters. This movie contains neither and rambles on and on and on .......! Ugh!

Great Flick !Exposing the raw bone of corporate hierarchy, this movie lays into the notion that the best rise to the top, and that to really make it in the world of top executives, you need to be less talented and less creative.
This movie also has one of my favorite lines; " he's going to tell you how great the future is going to be here, don't believe him, I've seen the future - it's a bald headed man from New York"

this movie is hilarious. i am not an easy laugher and most movies that are supposed to be funny just make me roll my eyes. the situation is very easy to relate to--who hasn't dreamed of chucking the corporate life and living more simply? men and women will enjoy it equally. i even sent a dvd to my financial advisor.
