Two yuppies drop out of the rat race and take to the road in a motorhome to do all the things they dreamed about in their youth. Albert Brooks("Broadcast News," "Defending Your Life") directs and stars in this smart, satirical romantic comedy. When a yuppie ad executive suddenly finds himself unemployed, he and his wife (Julie Hagerty, " Airplane!,"A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy") begin a comic odyssey on the open road to get away from the rat race -- only to become "lost in America." The Wall Street Journal calls this "hilarious... Brooks is one of the funniest men in America," while the Chicago Tribune says the film contains "one priceless scene after another, all of which are wildly funny," and the Chicago Sun-Times gives the film its highest rating -- "****".
