www.filmcritic.com - : Albert Brooks at his sarcastic best, Lost in America presents the case of a married L.A. yuppie couple who opt to ''drop out'' of life -- parroting Easy Rider -- and travel the country in an RV.

Masterfully funny, Lost in America is one of those movies you can't help but watch when you come across it on TV. Excellent. more...
