Full Plot Details

Two friends deal with loss amidst events bigger than them. Andrew is the friend we all have, the one who convinces you to come along despite your better judgment. Talented but with seemingly nothing to lose, his tailspin is balanced only by his professional drive to succeed as a trader on Wall Street. His best friend Jake, broken-hearted and writing sports instead of fiction, does his best to clean up the mess his friend creates until he runs into his capricious ex, Sarah again. So Andrew convinces him to ditch New York and hit the road, going nowhere. They commandeer a cab to Philadelphia, where they borrow Andrew's mom's station wagon. But when their car runs out of gas in the middle of Pennsylvania, Andrew reveals the real reason for the trip - his father has died, and he doesn't think he can make it through the funeral alone. On the road and in small town Ohio, Jake encounters the people who will help him start over. Meanwhile, Andrew runs away until he can't run any more.

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Robert AbeleThe problem with writer-director Joe Leonard's well-intentioned road trip is that the skill of his actors is undercut by slick moodiness, dime-store philosophizing and an egregiously low-burning pace.
User Review - 10/10 by Kevin MLoved it! Like a dream or a poem, it's one of those movies you get lost in. The mood... the music... the characters. If you are a friend or have ever had a friend, check out this flick.
User Review - 10/10 by Mary RBeautifully shot and directed, this is a movie that resonates with anyone who has struggled to find their voice.
User Review - 10/10 by Karen LTry to see this film! The cast and crew are exceptionally talented, and it's very well done. Great story, great cinematography, great settings.
User Review - 10/10 by Jim MThis is a really special movie. The story is tight and beautiful. This group of young actors will grab you and insist that you care about these characters. The technical aspects of this movie are spot on. Loved the Red One camera, the settings are beautiful and the costuming does not detract from the story. How I Got Lost is proof that independent film making must be encouraged and financed.
User Review - 10/10 by Eileen SGripping themes that touch the lives of us all. Sensitive, true-to-life portrayal of lives in transition.
User Review - 8/10 by Jack TI was expecting a lot more from this film based on its reviews while at film festivals. I was mostly not let down here, but I think that it could have been a classic. What minor flaws it does have is originality. I have seen this film a few times over and maybe this is one of the better versions of its kind, but nothing really worth taking oscar notes over. Overall I really did enjoy this film for what it was and the actors do a fine job here and the script is well written with some pretty great speeches and realism. The story here is heartbreaking somewhat and also feels like something taken out of real life. This is one that is worth checking out at least once.
User Review - 6/10 by Mark AA pretty lackluster independent film that seemed somewhat undercooked. The story meandered and couldn't seem to make up its mind whether it was a buddy movie, a romantic drama, or a road trip film. Andrew (Aaron Stanford) and Jake (Jacob Fishel) come across as two slackers, shaken by the events of 9/11, who set off on a trip to Andrew's hometown. Jake's break-up with Sarah (Nicole Vicius), meant to add poignancy, only served to keep the film unfocused. There are a few scattered interesting scenes, and the scenery as they cross Pennsylvania is pleasant, but it just seemed like the filmmakers missed an opportunity to give us a reason to care about what happened to these guys. If anyone got lost here, it had to be the director. He obviously didn't know where he was trying to go, nor did he know how to get us there.
User Review - 6/10 by Brody MA low key, but not uninteresting ride over well-traveled terrain.
User Review - 6/10 by Curt MThis is the kind of movie I root for. It's an indie flick with an earnest feel, but in the end fumbles around and really doesn't know what it wants to be. Among who knows what else, it's a best friends road trip film. I tried but could never mentally separate the two characters or clearly understand their motivation or direction. I had to conclude that the character development left something to be desired. Indie films often feel this way, but in the end, the best ones somehow solidify and seem to have a point (a story, or some kind of meaning). While I enjoyed some of the individual scenes, in the end this film collapses because it doesn't have much coherence. Three stars are the best I can offer.
