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.
get到了马伊琍，想念一位诗人和我给他的洋甘菊，想念老大昌苔条花生蝴蝶酥恒隆修鞋摊和咖啡，并且觉得原来中年的生活也可以过得有滋有味。
喜欢这部电影，有意思，台词里的小机锋小心思，让人惊喜。中国要是有伍迪艾伦，也只能出现在上海。
要是背景乐能少一点，修鞋匠没有这么神叨叨的，Gloria没有关上门后那一刻的黯然神伤，李小姐和白老师就这么算了，那我愿意给5颗星。
非常难得在大荧幕看到上海话的电影，也是华语爱情电影中少有的诉说中年人爱情的故事，还是挺好看的，越往后面越好。缺点是徐峥这个角色没什么魅力，虽说“平凡”的人不需要多潇洒，但老白这么吃重戏份的角色如果无法让观众共情和喜欢是蛮遗憾的…反观三位女性，都很喜欢的，上海女人！嗲！
非常接地气和生活化的电影，尤其是在看了那么多悬浮剧以后，这部电影更显得难能可贵。在上海生活过的人会更有体会，这真的非常上海人，他们会用咖啡精致生活，买东西会比较，但这TM才是真实的人啊。
很好看啊，就是不知道下一次看到这么正常好看的国产电影要等到哪一年
这电影真的不是拍给我的吗？
结尾好评，换我看费费的《爱情神话》也会看不懂加各种吐槽。
作为处女作这样的水准真的不错了，很松弛（应该再多拍一两个空镜头），甚至有那么一点点像伍迪艾伦，但配乐不太行，不够滑稽，前半段那几首英文歌尤其出戏。徐峥去找鞋匠理论那段从一个弹钢琴的女人室内镜头推出窗外，以及老乌讲故事镜头先从特写拉远又推近到特写，这两个地方很不错，最后看完感觉只有上海男人（女人）才能搞定上海女人（男人），外地人搞不定的

爱情神话真的太灵了！
求中年男演员放过熟女题材，拿三个女主饭桌那段当宣传噱头，结果把观众骗进电影看中年男人的幻想？演员不错，剧本不错，镜头也不错，但是视角不对。这两年我们已经透过太多救世主（性别男）的眼睛去看中年女性的狼狈和得过且过了。导演以为女性观众看到的是第二春是新曙光吗？不，我们只能更加看清罩住女人的那层玻璃罩子。
真不错呀，我看来这就是沪语中年版《独自等待》，同时还真有点的伍迪艾伦的意思。电影描摹外国人都说上海话的上海不能说写实，却是世人想象中那个精致的小资的却又有生活气的上海，有着恰到好处的黑色幽默在里面。
圣诞最大惊喜，成功憧憬起44岁留着紫色头发抽着细香烟的日子，也唤起对上海最美好的记忆，中年和我的朋友骂骂咧咧的生活，希望到时间我也能有这么多艳遇哈哈哈，当然还要有一套自己的小房子，这样的日子，慢慢地过也很美~
在上海取景的电影很多，但全篇台词上海话，又把上海话里的口语运用到位且换作其他方言则没办法发挥到极致的电影就不多见了，（虽然字幕翻译并没有办法完全展现出部分用词的幽默精髓），尽管没有地域限制，但本土观众多多少少占点优势。
这世界上从来没有值得不值得的事情

有了资本和地位以后，在中国这个商业化严重的市场中也能拍点自己想拍的。就值得多一星。电影的整体感觉就是差点意思，但又觉得难能可贵。影片最触动我的是，所有主要角色，都没有大名。敬我们的白老师，李小姐，格格瑞亚，老乌。
甚至完全可以算第一
说实话有点没太看懂导演主要想要表达什么，但剧情片来说也算是中规中矩吧，有些小的点还是能get到的
