UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
男人女人性别政治美食腔调异域迷影，当代人的爱情神话。
另外，国摇雄起！我竟然在国产影线片听到了白日密语、还潮和八仙饭店，出息！
今年院线片里比较令人感到惊喜的一部。坚固的东西都烟消云散了，但并非所有东西都消失了，那些琐碎的、已逝的甚至混乱的难道不是真实存在的吗？确实是中产趣味，但亦假亦真的那一笔有举重若轻的神韵
爱情观与人生观
太喜欢了！独属于新派的话语属性和旧时代的烟火气缔造了这些横冲直撞却又时刻携带着小心翼翼的形象。你可以不相信开口闭口都是Jimmy Choo和英文名言的街头鞋匠，但你不得不信他围绕着这些所养成的浪漫体质。生活中哪来那么多“爱情神话”，可即使承认了它的虚伪，我们还是感到欢喜。迟暮的他还能回想起过去的喷泉之夜，银幕上的相识最终用死亡来祭奠，在回忆的容器载体中，这当然是一个无比罗曼蒂克的故事，因为它是编的。
我一直以为导演是男性，边看边说，我要向这位导演脱帽致敬，居然可以把男人看得这么精准透彻，结果刚才豆瓣下载海报才发现，误会了，导演是女性，很棒~🤣🤣🤣
说一句灾难级别的场面调度不过分吧？美术馆仿舞台剧一场戏我看得想骂人了 with yy
意外的好看除去最后老乌那里故事不俗套，而且那种上海小资情调拿捏得很好，对于中年人爱情有了点向往。无论是街景还是主角住屋都让人喜欢，白虽然大腹便便但是会绘画、做饭，喜欢三位女士之间对话。
1.老乌的死起到了承上启下的作用，顺水推舟了，但是真的是不明不白，让人摸不到头脑。2.儿子的存在太让人尴尬了。
小皮匠在皮匠摊上喝咖啡吃蛋糕聊女人，居然不显得突兀。有意思。
画室的三人谈话，两场聚会，阳台和门槛男女主对话，鞋匠的男女之见都写的非常有趣且深刻。
伪男性视角的女性题材 把男人放在女人的位置上 他们就变成了女人 但即便赋予女人权力与造反的底气 底色依然是戏谑甚至有些心酸的 也许比起老乌饭桌上红红的眼眶 格洛丽亚挑逗完老白关上门后黯然神伤的表情转换 才是“可怖的真实眼泪”
优点比缺点突出，优点是1.0级别的女性主义，缺点是作者趣味多次直愣愣地杵在那，没有熨帖在剧情内。音乐趣味不提，三行字幕是我不能接受的。
好几处都笑出来了。确实有点伍迪艾伦的意思，爱一座城就给它拍一个电影。祝无双仍然好漂亮呀～～～马伊琍的小虎牙好软萌。艺辉国际学校红拂杂货店，哈哈哈这些名字起的。白鸽化妆那个让我想到第一次去上海，在淮海路无印良品逛，两个初中男生在讨论彩妆技法，本糙汉不懂却大为震撼！
哈扎劲 好难得能再看到这么多沪语对白的电影，这确实是不能更鲜活真实的上海腔调，此刻的身边的上海会发生的故事，我们之间会说的话，会用的词，会做的事，会骂的山门，会做的掩饰，用得亲切又恰到好处，吐槽吐得余音绕梁。在不那么出彩甚至不堪中撑足体面活泼的生活，雅致和粗俗共存的人间烟火。对我就是要打五星！
感觉这剧本是坂元裕二写出来的，当然还有这北电戏文专业练就的会写段子的伶牙俐齿。最后的镜头挺好，最让人感动的老乌的故事感觉像是“青年破处”版广岛之恋。

看起来平淡，没有特别抓马的情节和歇斯底里的爱情故事，但是就好像在看身边人的故事。三个女性都很有亮点，马伊琍和这种上海小女人适配度很高。
这个电影哪怕全都是这几个人吃饭的戏，我都觉得会同样精彩，同样好看。。
平安夜包场看别提有多畅快了
