Leave your thoughts about Lost in America.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertLost in America is being called a yuppie comedy, but it's really about the much more universal subjects of greed, hedonism and panic. What makes it so funny is how much we can identify with it. |
| Consequence of SoundScout TafoyaThe empty promise of the American dream is the implicit subject of most of his films, but in Lost in America, they’re the most exquisitely drawn. Failure and pettiness haunt David and Linda, and Brooks finds compelling ways to frame them. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesIt is, I think, Brooks' masterpiece -- nothing inessential, one great scene after another, just flat-out perfect. Stanley Kubrick was an Albert Brooks fan for a reason. |
| Hollywood ReporterKirk EllisToo often, things are simply too painfully accurate to be particularly funny. Still, it's hard to fault Brooks' resolutely adult intelligence, and Lost in America - almost in spite of itself, really - is easily his most consistently amusing work to date. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelAlbert Brooks is one of the few, maybe the only, comic filmmakers making movies today with laughs that hurt. A very funny--and therefore neurotic--young man, Brooks places himself in all sorts of contemporary situations in his movies, situations that force him to whine like a baby to get what he wants. He's the filmmaker for the Baby Boom generation. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyIt's an endlessly funny and often uncomfortable piece of work, featuring some of the sharpest, deftest writing Brooks and frequent collaborator Monica Johnson ever crafted. |
| Film InquiryBenjamin WangLost in America is one of the funniest films from one of our greatest cinematic comedians. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinLost In America is equally potent as a satire of the road movie and of the American dream of endless mobility and escape. |
| Film InternationalJessica BaxterPacked to the gills with Albert Brooks' signature dialog, and played to the hilt by both leads, Lost in America has a long set-up. But it's a testament to Brook's clever characterization. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAmusing satire on yuppies having a mid-life crisis. |
