The Accidental Tourist was made into a movie in 1989. Geena Davis won an Academy Award for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Muriel, and the movie won the New York Film Critics Best Picture of the Year Award.
The movie was true to both the theme and the storyline of the novel. What viewers miss that readers have is the third person perspective, by which the narrator tells them, for example, what is going on in Macon's head.
