Reviews:

Highly recommended for Albert Brooks fans and for adults facing a midlife crisis. Not suited for younger people who wish for a dynamic straight comedy.
“Lost In America” is a subtle, slowburning comedy portraying all the troubles that will rain down on you, once you decide to drop out (as an older adult) in a motorhome and start roaming the United States of America. (Avoid Nevada, by the way…)

The good: the midlife crisis jokes are subtle, yet true to life and spot on. Many married adults, grinding away at their boring jobs will surely find recognition in this story about wanting to break free from all the shackles that the daily boring work routine presses down upon us.

Any bad? The humour of director, writer and actor Albert Brooks is probably only suited for a smaller audience, who can appreciate some typical slowburning and subtle midlife crisis humour. Younger people who long for a fast and straight funny movie might find it boring.

Searching for freedom in a Winnebago
Dissatisfied yuppie advertising executive David Howard (a sharp performance by Albert Brooks) and his quietly discontent wife Linda (an appealing portrayal by Julie Hagerty) decide to quit the stupefying 9 to 5 white collar office grind so they can go in search of freedom on the open road in a Winnebago. However, the couple only encounter disaster at every turn.

Director Brooks, who also co-wrote the mordant script with Monica Megowan Johnson, astutely nails just how stifling and frustrating living a safe comfortable existence can be, the intrinsic futility to be found in aggressively pursuing that elusive thing called “freedom,” and the malaise lurking right underneath the surface of a seemingly ideal and secure lifestyle. Moreover, Brooks expertly mines a wickedly funny line in dry, yet biting and incisive humor, with the petulant and entitled David finding out through a serious of humiliating, but often hilarious encounters that there’s a whole lot more to freedom than just simply dropping out of society.

In addition, there are spot-on cameo appearances by Garry Marshall as a no-nonsense casino manager, Michael Greene as David’s smarmy boss Paul Dunn, Tom Tarplay as the unctuous Brad Tooley, Donald Gibb as a belligerent ex-con, and Art Frankel as an incredulous employment agent. Eric Saarinen’s bright and crisp cinematography offers lots of striking shots of the American countryside as well as makes nicely fluid use of a gliding camera. An absolute riot.
