Bored with their cushy suburban existence, yuppie David (
Albert Brooks) talks his wife Linda (
Julie Hagerty) into selling everything they own and hitting the road to "see America." As a starting-over gesture, David and Linda are romantically remarried in Las Vegas -- which, ironically, proves to be the beginning of the end of their idyll. In short order, Linda loses their life's savings, the couple nearly self-destructs at Hoover Dam, they take blue-collar jobs in a go-nowhere Arizona town, and....Well, if you know your
Albert Brooks, be prepared for a steady stream of manic social satire. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
