Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Every time I see a Winnebago motor home, I have the same fantasy as the hero of "Lost in America." In my dream, I quit my job, sell everything I own, buy the Winnebago and hit the open road. ...read the complete Lost in America movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

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. When the wife loses their "nest egg" a ...read the complete Lost in America movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Apollo Guide (Guy MacPherson)

Here he plays a successful advertising executive who thinks that he is finally going to get the big promotion that his entire ...read the complete Lost in America movie review at Film Threat (--)

Lost in America would be a nightmare film if it were not for the mirth provided by Albert Brooks. ...read the complete Lost in America movie review at DVD Savant review
Time Out (--)
A deft satire on self-delusion, complacency and compromised ideals, played to perfection by the two leads; only the slightly too soft ending strikes a false note. ...read the complete Lost in America movie review at Time Out (--)

"Lost in America" isn't necessarily an original film, and it knows it isn't (there are various references to it being exactly like "Easy Rider", and it is very similar to the delightful 1950's comedy, "The Long Long Trailer," starring Lucille Ball and ...read the complete Lost in America movie review at rec.arts.movies.reviews (Dustin Putman)
