Lost in America (1985)
Written and directed by, and starring comedian and actor Albert Brooks, Lost in America is a satirical look at what happens to one middle-class couple when they try to drop out of the rat race and explore America in a Winnebago, sort of an Easy Rider for the Yuppie set. Winner of the Best Screenplay award from the National Society of Film Critics, this sharply observed comedy follows the rapid descent of the couple's idyllic journey as it devolves into neurotic desperation. Without a doubt, this is Brooks's finest effort to date.
