"Don't miss it. Hysterically funny." -Stephen Schaefer, US
Stalled in his company's pecking order, ad man David Howard (Albert Brooks) failed to land the Senior VP slot he wanted. He quits, convinces wife Linda (Julie Hagerty) to do the same, sells their house and stocks and buys a Winnebago to roam the USA. Though they feel they're Easy Riders, they're actually Born to Be Mild. With their $145,000 nest egg tucked reassuringly within reach, they make their first stop: Las Vegas.
Goodbye, nest egg. Greetings, hilarity. In Lost In America, director/co-writer Brooks (The Muse, Mother, Defending Your Life) memorably bonds with Hagerty (Airplane!, What About Bob?) as a couple spinning along on wheels of misfortune. Their comic plight speaks to anyone who's ever dreamed of chucking it all.

Lost in lost in america - 3.75 out of 5 (5/29/2001)
How many times have you said to yourself "This place couldn't function
without me" and this ridiculous bit of wisdom gives you the power to make
decision outside of the frame of rationality. By the same token, how many
times have you driven past a place with a help wanted sign and considered
even briefly if you might be happier there.
This is the idea at the heart of LOST IN AMERICA. This is when David Howard
(Albert Brooks) decides he might be better off on the open road with his
wife
