FWIW, before there was RV, there was Lost in America. Albert Brooks is one of the funniest actors around, imo (Broadcast News: "A lot of alliteration from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!"; Twilight Zone; Finding Nemo; et al.). Julie Hagerty (Airplane!; What About Bob; et al.) is also a gem. The scene with Garry Marshall in the casino is priceless. Yes, there are language issues in the movie. If anyone cares to check it out, see Siskel and Ebert's 1985 review online here (starting around 5:05).


Now, back to movie retirement...
