    • Trivia
      Bill Murray was considered for the lead role of David Howard but, due to Murray being heavily booked at the time, co-writer/director Albert Brooks decided to not delay the film a year and play the part himself.
    • Goofs
      During the final cross-country montage, as they are approaching New York City, the Winnebago drives up the exit ramp from the Lincoln Tunnel with Manhattan visible in the background. That road is taking them away from Manhattan, into New Jersey, not to Manhattan.

    Great comedy, and quite an 80's time capsule.
    Lost In America is one of those movies that I always meant to see, but never remembered to rent. A few weeks ago, I finally got a chance to see it, and I loved it.

    Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty are perfect as the classic yuppie couple that decide to set out on the open road after a series of strange circumstances. Brooks' rave-out on his boss at the beginning of the film is priceless, as is his interaction with the unemployment office worker in the midwest... "I'll just check my $100,000 a year job file." Brooks is also great when he tries to reason with the casino owner, and arguing with Hagerty over her inability to use the words "nest" and "egg". "From now on, birds live in ROUND STICKS!!!, for breakfast, you will have THINGS over easy!!!!"

    Most of the best dialogue and scenes are delivered from Brooks, but Hagerty is quite good as well, as the timid wife whos honest, yet HUGE blunder sets the tone for the rest of the film.

    My only complaint is that it seemed about a half hour too short. When they decide to return to New York, I would've allowed one more wacky situation on the way back home, but it was not to be. It left me feeling that the ending was a bit rushed. But this is a minor complaint from a great film that deserves to be seen over and over.
