Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn his autobiography, Garry Marshall, who played the casino manager, wrote that he was initially exasperated by Albert Brooks demanding take after take of their scene in the office. But once he saw the rushes and realized that his frustration made his character funnier, he deferred to Brooks' comic judgment.
- GoofsDuring 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.

Featured review
We have all wanted to do it.At one time or another we have all wanted to flee our drab,bottomless pit lives to see and discover the world.It's a very tempting idea.Fortunately,what we learn from films like Lost in America is that Winnebagos don't run on faith.Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty teach us this lesson well,making us laugh at them,as well as ourselves when we picture ourselves in their position.When it comes to comedies,I tend to lean more toward the slapstick side of things.It's the way I have always been,but Lost in America gives us laughs and teaches us a lesson at the same time,making it worth seeing again.
